Muselo

Cross-service playback resume. Without server-side state about what you watch.

Muselo aggregates your music, podcasts, audiobooks, and video — bookmarks playback positions across every service — without any of them knowing what you're listening to or watching. Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, podcasts, Netflix, Apple TV — one resume position, on-device.

What it does

Three things Muselo actually does.

Calm-direct features. No growth-hack copy. Each one ladders to a specific patent claim and a specific line of source code.

Cross-service playback resume

Pick up where you left off, regardless of which app. The Coach knows your listening patterns; the services don't.

Inspiration graph (without surveillance)

What artists / podcasters / authors influence you. Pattern-mapped on-device. No fingerprinting.

Daily 'because you listened' (private)

Recommendations based on your encrypted listening history. Never sent to the streaming services.

What it replaces

Inspiration + media.

Pinterest sells your taste profile. Muselo keeps it.

Pinterest
Inspiration boards. Ad-supported.
Muselo's boards live on-device. The taste graph is yours.
Behance / Dribbble
Designer portfolios.
Out of scope — Muselo is the personal mood board, not the public portfolio.
Are.na
Curated reference tool. Subscription.
Muselo's structure is similar; the difference is no subscription on top of Cognielo Pro Everything.
Instagram Saved
Pinterest-lite inside Instagram.
Muselo's import-from-Instagram-Saved keeps your saves when Meta deletes the account.
Mood-board apps (Milanote, MyMind, Niice)
Subscription mood-board tools.
Muselo replaces them. One subscription.
Notion (visual pages)
Manual mood boards.
Muselo replaces ad-hoc Notion mood boards with a visual-first structure.
Apple Photos albums
First-party.
Muselo reads Apple Photos as a source — albums are also yours, but Muselo lets you cross them with web finds.
Tumblr
Aging blog/inspiration platform.
Muselo can pull from Tumblr posts; the social side stays with Tumblr.

Patent posture

Maps to: Claim 1 + Claim 4.5 (cross-app inspiration routing) + Claim 1.22 (cross-service playback)

Muselo is covered by U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 64/041,821 and the May/June 2026 follow-on cluster. The substrate-locality covenant is a cryptographic property of the file format, not a marketing posture.
