Myseum Wants to Fix Photo Sharing and Protect Your Digital Legacy
Social media makes sharing easy, but preserving memories for the future is harder than ever. Marc Aflalo speaks with Darin Myman from Myseum about reinventing photo sharing, protecting privacy, and creating a digital legacy that lasts across generations.
Myseum is rethinking social networking by focusing on private, intentional sharing instead of public feeds and algorithms. Darin Myman, CEO of Myseum, explains how the platform was designed to solve a modern problem: people take more photos than ever, yet meaningful sharing and long-term preservation have become more difficult.
The conversation begins with the core idea behind Myseum, a personalized social network built to pass photos and media forward to the people who matter. Darin explains how today’s phone-based photo sharing has replaced shoeboxes and albums, but without a clear way to preserve memories across generations.
Marc and Darin dive into Picture Party by Myseum, a new feature launching soon that allows instant, private group sharing without passing phones around. Users can create temporary or permanent social spaces for meetings, family gatherings, events, or parties. These spaces can disappear after a set time or live on as part of a personal digital archive.
Privacy and security are central to the platform. Darin explains how Myseum encrypts content, limits access to invited users, and gives creators full control over saving, screenshots, and self-destruction. Unlike traditional social platforms, Myseum does not allow AI models to ingest user content.
The discussion wraps with Myseum’s long-term vision, from small private gatherings to large-scale events with thousands of participants, all organized into searchable, purpose-driven spaces. The goal is simple: make sharing fun again while ensuring memories are protected and easy to find in the future.
