UPDATE: this opportunity is now full/closed (sorry – that took all of 2 minutes). Thanks to all who showed interest. To those who missed out, I’ll let you know when Mylio is publicly available.

One of my favorite things about living a life at the intersection of artist/photographer + entrepreneur/tech founder is that — through community, experience, network, and passion – I get access to a ton of the newest, emerging IDEAS & PRODUCTS from all over the world. And it’s always my goal to share as much of this with YOU as possible — whether thats the newest cameras, photo apps, gadgets or any number of startups I advise.
So that brings me to the point of this short post: I’d like advance help from YOU on a cool new product, not yet released. I’m advising photo software startup called Mylio (short for My Life Organized) and it is looking for just 100 beta testers.
But what is it? Mylio is an insanely intelligent photo management + basic editing system for photographers who want to spend more time enjoying their photos and less time searching through them. Put bluntly, the first time I used Mylio, I tasked it to organize the 25,000 snapshots across my iPhone, my iPad, and my daily laptop. In no time flat I was looking at images off my first iPhone that I hadn’t seen in years. Once buried images of photoshoot scouting trips to New Zealand and Asia, my old portfolio and my new portfolio were at my fingertips. I even found copies of some of my signature images, long ago buried on a backup of backup somewhere, or so I thought. In short, Mylio had organized my pictures from every corner of my life, my memory, and my daily devices (including more than 10,000 from my iphone alone) and I was viewing them. And it was fast.
But that was my experience. What will yours be?
Here’s how to be a part of this select group of early users: just go here, sign up, and download the application. You will receive an email if you are part of the first 100 and an invitation to participate in a special forum to leave feedback.
Yep, just simply visit http://mylio.com/download and enter your info.
Some top level bullet points about the service:
// Allows you to auto-magically manage, protect and adjust you photo library across multiple computers, tablets, external hard drives, network storage devices, and the cloud. Yes that means all your stuff at your fingertips, all the time.
// Lets you store edit both jpeg and RAW images (on all those devices…I know it’s nuts right? So yes you can edit Raw images on your iPad mini, or whatever)
// It’s designed to handle libraries with up to 250,000 photos without slowing you, your device or your network down, regardless of where you are in the universe.
// It’s for Macs, iPads and iPhones (iPhone 5) and…yes…Windows too.
// Integrates with Lightroom or Photoshop workflow too
SO, again, this is an opportunity to test an early product before it’s made widely available. You could have an amazing experience, or you could find some bugs and struggle to use it. That’s the point. But either way…above and beyond even the gratitude from me for helping out….the first 100 users will receive 6 months of free ongoing use of the product. So there’s that little nugget too. But really it’s way more about being on the test crew and playing around with cool new toys.
One last reminder, I am NOT involved in the daily activity of the company etc at all. I’m an advisor to this startup, so while comments and questions are totally welcome below, please direct your sharing and feedback about the Mylio experience to the Mylio team. Thanks and enjoy.
This one will be good.
Dang it, I was to busy trying to track down a image and missed the boat…
No Android, thats sad :(.
Otherwise sounds interesting i kind of been doing this with google drive now for almost 2 years. lightroom imports all raw files to google drive, my catalog leaves there as well, so i can access all my raw files on my phone or computer or any device for that matter, but it does lack any kind of organization, so this would be a welcome addition, but no Android support?
FYI, it doesn’t ask for any info – just lets us download the app. Also, nowhere on the site does it actually say what the app does. These days, people tend to be extremely careful about what the apps they install so they’re going to have to get some details published fairly quickly if they want folks to actually install the software.
what it does is listed here. if you don’t trust links / posts from me, i would of course respect it, but i’d find it odd.
no matter however – filled up in no time flat. thx
Obviously your involvement lends them instant credibility. My comment assumes people may get to their site without reading about it here first. Just trying to be helpful…
Thank you Chase for keeping an eye out for the creative community. I’ll give it a try!
