Circle videos, beautifully shareable
Record circles right in the app — or import ones saved from Telegram. The white corners disappear behind a blurred or colored background, ready for Stories, Reels, and any chat.
Why Rondo
Everything a circle needs
Record in the app
Hold to record, slide up to lock and go hands-free. Zoom with a drag, flip cameras mid-recording, flash for dark rooms.
Backgrounds that fit
A soft blur of the video itself — the classic Stories look — or any color, from bold to pastel with one slider.
White corners, gone
Saved round messages arrive as squares with baked-in white corners. Rondo finds the circle and removes them automatically.
Square or 9:16
Keep the square, or export portrait for Stories, Reels, and TikTok with the circle framed just right.
Sound untouched
Audio passes straight through — no re-encoding tricks, no quality loss, no surprises.
Private by design
No account, analytics, or tracking. Video editing and export stay on your device. Auto-captions send only the video's audio to Apple after you approve it.
How it works
From circle to Story in seconds
Record or import
Capture a new circle with the built-in recorder, or pick a saved one from your Photos.
Pick a background
Blur, palette colors, or your own — the live preview is exactly what you'll get.
Save or share
Export to Photos, or share straight to any app without saving first.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is Rondo free?
Yes — recording, blurred backgrounds, and square export are free forever (with a small watermark). A one-time $3.99 Pro upgrade removes the watermark and unlocks 9:16 export and custom colors. No subscription.
Do my videos leave my phone?
Your video stays on your device. If you use auto-captions, only its audio is sent to Apple for speech recognition after you approve it. No account, analytics, or tracking.
Does it work with circles saved from Telegram?
Yes. Saved round video messages become square files with white corners — Rondo detects the circle automatically and replaces the corners with a beautiful background. Rondo is an independent app, not affiliated with Telegram.
Is the sound kept?
Yes — audio passes through untouched, both for recordings and imported videos.
