Your Photos library is full of forgotten gems. Rando brings them back - randomly. TAP FOR INSTANT JOY One tap = a random photo from your collection. It's like a slot machine for memories. Swipe for more, or let the slideshow run. Rediscover that vacation from 2015, your kid's first steps, that sunset you completely forgot about. PHOTO SLOT MACHINE (iPhone) Quick, fun, and surprisingly addictive. Tap the button for a fresh photo. Great for: - Morning coffee nostalgia - "Remember when?" conversations - Finding photos to share on social media WORKS WITH YOUR PHOTOS - AND YOUR VIDEOS - Photos Library - all your albums and memories - Files app - folders from iCloud Drive, On My iPhone, Dropbox, and more - Videos play right in the rotation, with a scrub bar to seek - Live Photos play their motion preview - Mix multiple sources together SLIDESHOW FEATURES - Shuffle or sequential playback - Adjustable timing (3 to 30 seconds) - Transitions: Cross-fade, Ken Burns, Slide, Zoom, Flip, or Random - pick one in Settings or right inside the slideshow - Transition speed: Slow, Normal, or Fast - Image Filters (Pro): Black & White, Sepia, or Vintage, applied live and never saved to your photos - Videos play to their natural end before advancing - Pinch to zoom in on any photo, double-tap to reset - Auto-resume when you return to the app - Full-screen, distraction-free viewing SLIDESHOWS ON YOUR TV Open Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring, pick your Apple TV, then start any slideshow.

Works over AirPlay mirroring and with an HDMI adapter. Your phone stays awake while the show runs. Videos stay on your device for now: TV Mode shows photos and Live Photo stills, and skips videos until the show ends.
