Rondin
Your photos and notes, by place.
Rondin keeps your photos, notes and reminders organized by where they happened. Pin the places that matter to you, and everything you capture there files itself there.
A note left at the grocery store, shown on arrival, and everything from all your places, newest first.
It's waiting for you when you get there
Leave yourself a note at one of your places and your phone hands it to you when you arrive, even with the app closed. Write "Buy the oranges Liza recommended," pick your grocery store, and the next time you walk in, there it is on your lock screen. It reaches your Apple Watch too, like any iPhone notification.
It is easier than any location reminder you have set before, because the place is already on your list: a line of text and a place, and you're done.
Need it every time? A recurring alert comes back on each visit until a date you choose. Or make a plain to-do for a place and check it off when it's done.
Your photos file themselves
Pin the places that matter to you: a client property, a job site, a rental, a trailhead, the restaurant you keep meaning to go back to. A place is a spot on the map with a radius, or a boundary you draw, named and abbreviated however you like. It takes seconds.
Then shoot with the camera you already use. Rondin reads the location saved in each photo and video and files it to the right place. Turn on automatic filing and new shots file themselves, or bring them in by hand, any time, with no permission at all. No sorting, no albums, no remembering.
Everything about a place, in one spot
Open the app on site and that place is already in front of you: every photo, video and note you ever filed there, newest first, grouped by visit. A note written at 2 AM at a client property stays with that client forever.
Or look across all your places at once, and search everything you have written.
Private by design
Rondin has no subscriptions, no servers, no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Your records live on your phone and in your own iCloud, encrypted by Apple, where the developer cannot see them.
- Photo library access is optional. When you allow it, the app opens a picture only if its location falls inside one of your places. Nothing else is ever looked at.
- Your location is never tracked, and never sent to the developer or anyone else. For arrival alerts, iOS tells the app when you reach one of your places, and the app does the rest on your phone.
- Every permission is optional. The app works with all of them turned off; you only lose the feature that needed it.
The details are in the privacy policy.
Why "Rondin"
Rondín is the Spanish word for a watchman's round. The app began at ISG Security Services, a patrol company in Dallas, where every shift produces dozens of photos across client properties and every useful question meant digging through a camera roll. The same idea turned out to serve anyone whose work or life happens at places worth remembering.
