Rediscover the photos
you forgot you took.

Every photo you took meant something. Rando surfaces them at random, across every screen — and lets you drill into the moment when one catches your eye.

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.

Take a look

Simple interface, deep power.

“ 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.
