Privacy focus

Privacy isn't a feature. It's the foundation.

Your photos never leave your computer. We can't see them. Nobody can — because there's nothing to see.

We literally cannot see your photos.

This isn't marketing copy. Rando has zero servers, zero cloud infrastructure, and zero ability to access your photos. Everything happens on your computer, stays on your computer, and never touches the internet.

We couldn't look at your photos if we wanted to — and that's exactly how we designed it.

Why it matters

Two different philosophies.

❌ How other apps work

📤 Upload your photos to their servers
☁️ Process images in "the cloud"
👁️ Employees can potentially access files
🚨 Vulnerable to data breaches
🤖 AI scanning and analysis
📊 Your content becomes their data

✅ How Rando works

💾 Photos stay exactly where they are
🖥️ Processing happens locally on your machine
🚫 No employee access — there's nothing to access
🔒 Can't be breached — nothing online to breach
❌ No AI scanning — just randomization
💯 Your content remains 100% yours

Perfect for scattered media

Works with the things the cloud never touched.

Photos scattered across old USB sticks, DVDs, and mystery externals. Point Rando at any of them and see what's inside — all while maintaining absolute privacy.

🗄️ Mystery drives
💾 USB collection
📀 Old DVDs
🔀 Mix every source

Full features, total privacy

Privacy doesn't mean limited.

🔍 Drill in, zoom out

A photo catches your eye. Right-click to explore that folder. Zoom back out to random discovery.

🖥️ Multi-display slideshows

Different photos on every screen. Independent, linked, or mirror. Zero setup.

🗑️ Cull while you browse

Delete bad shots directly from the slideshow. Library improves as you enjoy it — all local.

⚡ Lightning fast

Filesystem-level scanning. Tens of thousands of photos in seconds. Apple Silicon optimized.

Built for people who value privacy.

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.

🔒 No Account Required

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.

🖥️ 100% Local Processing

Every operation - scanning folders, generating thumbnails, displaying images - happens entirely on your computer. No external servers involved, ever.

🚫 No Internet Required

Disconnect from the internet completely. Rando works perfectly offline because it never needs to "phone home" or sync with anything.

📁 Your Storage, Your Control

Works with any local storage - internal drives, external USB drives, encrypted volumes. If your computer can read it, Rando can display it. Privately.

Perfect for sensitive content

Private by default, for every context.

💼 Professional work

Client projects, confidential designs, unreleased products — browse your portfolio without NDA anxiety.

👨‍👩‍👧 Personal collections

Family photos, cherished keepsakes — kept completely private on your machine.

🗂️ Archive management

Historical documents, research, reference libraries — manage sensitive archives without third parties.

Privacy by architecture, not by policy.

We don't just promise privacy through legal language — we guarantee it through technical architecture. Rando is engineered to make privacy violations impossible.

No network code for image transfer. The app literally cannot send images anywhere.
No server infrastructure. We have nowhere to send your data even if we wanted to.
No user accounts. We don't know who you are. We don't want to.
No cloud dependencies. Everything works locally, nothing requires internet.
Open to inspection. Security researchers welcome to verify our claims.

The privacy promise.

We will never add mandatory cloud features. Local-first, forever.
We will never require user accounts. Anonymous usage, always.
We will never scan or analyze your photos. Your content is yours alone.
We will never share or sell any data. Because we don't have any to share.
We will never compromise privacy for features. Privacy comes first.

Privacy Q&A

The questions people actually ask.

🤔 Can Rando really not see my photos?

Correct. Rando has no servers, no cloud infrastructure, and no network code for transmitting images. This isn't a policy decision — it's a technical impossibility.

📊 What about usage analytics?

Analytics are off by default — you must explicitly opt in. If you enable Usage Statistics, MixPanel receives only functional metrics about feature use — never photo data, filenames, or paths. Your content never leaves your computer.

🔍 Why should I trust you?

Don't. Verify it yourself. Disconnect from the internet — Rando still works. Monitor your network traffic — no image data leaves your computer. Architecture makes violations impossible, not just prohibited.

Ready for real privacy?

Stop trusting your memories to companies that see them as data.
