Everything you need to know about Rando
Yes! Absolutely.
Rando works perfectly with:
Not yet, but it's on the roadmap.
Currently, Rando works with local storage only: folders on your computer, external drives, and network storage.
Future plans: We're exploring native iCloud, Google Photos, and Dropbox integration while maintaining our privacy-first approach (read-only access, no uploads). Stay tuned!
Rando supports all common image formats:
If your operating system can display the image format, Rando can randomize it!
A lot. Rando is designed for massive libraries.
Whether you have 500 photos or 50,000, Rando handles it smoothly.
The randomization experience and privacy.
They don't shuffle. Google Photos and iCloud Photos don't offer true randomization. Their "Memories" features use algorithms to surface photos based on dates, people, and places - predictable and curated, not random. You see the same highlights over and over.
Rando is like a slot machine for your memories. Every click delivers a genuine surprise from your entire collection. You'll rediscover forgotten moments you'd never have browsed to manually. It's addictive, joyful, and completely unpredictable.
Plus, there's the privacy advantage: Cloud services require uploading everything to their servers, which means:
Rando keeps everything local. Your photos stay on YOUR drives. We literally cannot see them - there are no servers to upload to.
Rando offers a lot for free, forever.
Free version includes:
Everyone gets a 7-day free trial of Pro features.
Pro unlocks the full experience:
Pro subscription: $2.99/month or $29.99/year (save nearly 20%).
Yes, through folder selection.
When you select a folder, Rando only randomizes photos within that folder (and subfolders). Simply don't select folders you want to exclude.
Pro tip: Organize sensitive photos into separate folders and don't select those folders. This gives you complete control over what Rando can access.
Yes! 100% offline.
Rando never requires an internet connection. All processing happens locally on your device. Perfect for:
7-day FREE trial, then:
Both plans unlock all Pro features. No credit card required for the free trial.
Yes. Subscriptions are managed through the Mac App Store or Microsoft Store. Cancel anytime from your account settings.
If you cancel, Pro features remain active until the end of your current billing period.
No! Early adopters who purchased before we switched to subscriptions have lifetime access to all Pro features - no subscription needed. Our way of saying thank you for supporting us early.
Yes! Your subscription works on all devices signed into your App Store or Microsoft Store account.
For example: One subscription covers your MacBook, iMac, and Mac Mini (or multiple Windows PCs).
Family Sharing (Apple): Rando supports Apple Family Sharing, so your subscription can be shared with up to 5 family members on their own devices.
We literally cannot see your photos. Here's why:
Your photos stay exactly where you put them - on your drives, under your control, accessible only to you.
No. Rando never modifies your original files.
When you tag photos or create slideshows, all metadata is stored in a separate local database. Your original images remain untouched and unmodified. You can delete Rando at any time without affecting your photo collection.
