Mylio rebrands product as Mylio Photos

Bellevue, Wash.-based photo organizing software company Mylio announced Mylio Photos, a rebranding of its flagship app. Mylio Photos creates a private image library that securely connects all devices into a personal network without requiring the internet or the cloud. The application for desktop and mobile will be released later this spring.

“Mylio Photos is changing the way the world remembers,” said David Vaskevitch, CEO of Mylio and the former CTO of Microsoft. “It’s designed for everyday photographers and content creators and is a transformative solution for anyone who wants to protect and organize their photos and videos on their own devices without giving up control by putting them in the cloud.” (Vaskevitch was an early guest on the Dead Pixels Society podcast. Listen to the episode here.)

With nearly a decade of development, Mylio Photos leverages local media storage and device-to-device syncing and backup. Mylio Photos connects an image library across a user’s multiple screens to offer uninterrupted access, even without the internet or the cloud.
