Your photos never leave your Mac. We can't see them. Nobody can.
This isn't marketing speak. Rando has zero servers, zero cloud infrastructure, and zero ability to access your photos. Everything happens on your Mac, stays on your Mac, and never touches the internet. We couldn't look at your photos if we wanted to - and that's exactly how we designed it.
Got photos scattered across old USB sticks, DVDs, and mystery external drives? Rando is the perfect tool to quickly discover what's on each piece of media - all while maintaining absolute privacy.
Quickly preview what's on poorly labeled drives without opening hundreds of folders
That drawer full of USB sticks? See what's on each one in seconds
Mount those burned DVDs and instantly discover forgotten memories
Add multiple drives at once to see your entire scattered collection
Some photos are just for you. Maybe they're family gatherings, sensitive client work, or simply memories you prefer to keep private. Whatever your reasons, your privacy is absolute with Rando.
Download, install, use. No sign-up, no email, no tracking by default. Analytics are opt-in only. You're not a user in our database because we don't have a user database.
Every operation - scanning folders, generating thumbnails, displaying images - happens entirely on your Mac. No external servers involved, ever.
Disconnect from the internet completely. Rando works perfectly offline because it never needs to "phone home" or sync with anything.
Works with any local storage - internal drives, external USB drives, encrypted volumes. If your Mac can read it, Rando can display it. Privately.
Client projects, confidential designs, unreleased products - browse your professional portfolio without worrying about NDA violations or cloud leaks.
Family photos, personal memories, cherished keepsakes - your personal photo collection stays completely private with Rando.
Historical documents, research materials, reference libraries - manage sensitive archives without exposure to third-party services.
We don't just promise privacy through legal policies - we guarantee it through technical architecture. Rando is engineered to make privacy violations impossible:
"In an age where every app wants to upload, analyze, and monetize your photos, Rando is refreshingly different. It does one thing - helps you rediscover your photos - and does it entirely on your own computer. No strings attached."
Based in the USA, subject to US privacy laws
Clear business model - we sell software, not your data
Built by one person who values privacy as much as you do
Correct. Rando has no servers, no cloud infrastructure, and no network code for transmitting images. We physically cannot access your photos because they never leave your computer. This isn't a policy decision - it's a technical impossibility.
Analytics are OFF by default - you must explicitly opt-in. If you choose to enable "Usage Statistics" in preferences, we use MixPanel to track basic app usage (like button clicks and feature usage) to improve the app. Crucially, MixPanel NEVER receives any photo data, filenames, or folder paths - only functional metrics about how you use the app's features. Your actual photo content never leaves your Mac, and you can disable analytics at any time.
Don't trust us - verify it yourself. Rando works completely offline. Disconnect from the internet and it functions perfectly. Monitor your network traffic - you'll see no image data ever leaves your Mac. Our architecture makes privacy violations impossible, not just prohibited.
Keep your memories safe, secure, and completely under your control. Guaranteed by design, not just by promise.
