you forgot you took.

What makes Rando different

A photo viewer that discovers, instead of asking you to.

Multi-display slideshows

Different photos on every monitor. Independent, linked, or mirrored. Fully keyboard controlled on every screen — it's not a screensaver.

🔍

Drill in, zoom out

See a photo you love? Right-click to explore that folder. Then pop back out to random discovery — no lost place.

🗑️

Cull as you browse

Blurry shot? Accidental floor photo? Hit Delete and it goes to Trash. Your library improves while you enjoy it.

Mix every source

Internal drives, externals, NAS, USB, Apple Photos albums — combined into a single random pool. Photos and videos play together on every platform, plus Live Photos on Mac and iOS.

Filesystem-fast

Scans at the filesystem level, not EXIF. Tens of thousands of photos load in seconds.

🔒

Private by design

No servers. No account. No cloud. We literally cannot see your photos — works fully offline.

New in 5.0

Fill every screen with a living wall of memories.

The new Collage slideshow turns any display into a wall of photos that refreshes on its own — dozens of moments at once instead of one. Set it and walk away, or reach in and explore. Perfect for parties, weddings, reunions, galleries, and always-on photo frames.

Flow collage layout — a tightly packed wall of photos in their natural shapes

Flow

A Pinterest-style wall that keeps every photo's full shape, so tall and wide photos all look right and nothing gets cropped. Neighboring columns drift in opposite directions for a gently woven motion as the wall quietly swaps in new photos.

Scatter collage layout — photos tossed across the screen like printed snapshots with white borders

Scatter

Photos tossed across the screen like printed snapshots — white borders and a gentle drop-in.

It's a little bit of It's a Wonderful Life — you get a chance to see lots of good things you'd forgotten about, or that have now become more meaningful with the passage of time.
