Press Kit

Rando is a privacy-first random photo picker for Mac and Windows that turns local photo archives into entertainment. Unlike cloud services, all processing happens locally on users' devices. Perfect for digital parents and photo collectors with large libraries on external drives.

Rando transforms how people experience their photo collections by bringing the surprise and joy of random discovery to local storage. Most users have tens of thousands of photos from the DSLR era (2000-2015) sitting on external drives, collecting digital dust.

Unlike cloud photo services like Google Photos or iCloud that require uploading entire libraries to remote servers, Rando processes everything locally. Users simply point the app at folders on their computer, external drives, or network storage (NAS), and Rando instantly surfaces random selections - like channel surfing through forgotten memories.

Key features include gaming-style slideshow controls with customizable hotkeys, a revolutionary tagging system that works across any folders, multi-folder mixing from different drives, and advanced zoom/pan capabilities. The app supports all common image formats including animated GIFs, handles libraries of 100,000+ photos smoothly, and works completely offline.

Rando offers a 7-day free trial with Pro features priced at $2.99/month or $29.99/year (save 20%). Available now on the Mac App Store and Microsoft Store.
