At first glance, the app feels mature enough to manage pictures - something Apple doesn't seem to want to offer anymore. Finding an image by date is neat, and so is creating albums, managing events, etc. The app itself can be customized within reason, from overall look to picture display. Haven't tried devices yet (cameras, etc), but that's not my focus.īasic editing, browsing, tagging, all seems familiar and snappy. Image import is easy enough, from Apple Photos and loose images in folders. The bad: no stacking, there is a bit of a learning curve. You can, for instance, easily surf that library with any app you prefer, edit and save, and the changes occur will show up in Mylio in a couple of seconds. No hidden library, no ingestion and so on. Your files are stored in folders in the Finder. If you want to process them with this app then you pay, and there's an added shortcut to Lightroom. You do not pay to edit raws, you can send them to another processor without paying. For much larger libraries, yes it is more expensive again. and that you won't have to move to something else if they collapse in a few months, then it might be worth it. If, on the other hand, you think it's good that they have a sustainable business plan. If you don't like that, then fine, nothing here for you. From there to 100k items are about $10 per month. It also means that adding a device simply means signing on the device. This is quite common now, you do the same with ON1 PhotoRaw for instance. To use Mylio you have to register with them.

You can do organising work on any device and it will sync back to all the others when you're in your own home/network. You can choose to have originals on all the devices, or small versions. (You can also do it over the Internet but - and some are confused by this - it is not compulsory.) The sync works and is fast.
#MYLIO FEATURES ANDROID#
you can share that Library to any other Mac, PC, iOS or Android device you have, and you do it over your home network, not the internet. They show up in Mylio in a few moments - as in, like less than 60seconds. I can send the images to DXO PhotoLad or Luminar, process them and save them. I'm not impressed with the Raw processing, no problem. I can whiz around through the library really quickly, It has 'good enough' editing tools for the Jpeg shooter and you can also use any app you prefer at all for the job, you're not limited to it and Lightroom only. 70k images in one Library, mixed Raw and Jpeg. This is further complicated by the range of devices used - point and shoot camera, Phone and a DSLR. It needs to be easy to use as the people I live with aren't that interested in learning Capture One and, frankly, the performance of Lightroom is poor. I've been looking for an easy to use DAM since the demise of Aperture. This is a very good app if you have a need for what it does. Your stuff stays where it should be - with you, and in your control.

Mylio’s unique protection system works privately, off the internet, using device-to-device syncing.
