Pass a song.
Watch it resonate.
Share one link from Spotify, Apple Music, or anywhere else, and your friends open it on their platform of choice. The music you pass quietly grows a living identity that's yours alone.
What is MuseShare?
MuseShare is a small, focused way to share music with people you care about. Paste a link from any major streaming service and we resolve the matching song everywhere, so whoever you send it to can listen wherever they already are. No friction, no wrong app.
Every song you pass leaves a trace. Over time those traces shape your Resonance, a generative visual that keeps changing and is unique to your listening. It's identity made of music, not metrics.
One link, every platform
Send once; friends open it on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and more.
Pass & Pulse
Send privately to a friend, or share to the public Pulse feed.
Living identity
Your Resonance field grows from the music you share, and no two are alike.
How your Resonance works
Most apps represent you with a number: followers, plays, a streak. MuseShare represents you with something alive. Your Resonance is a small, moving field that grows out of the music you share, and no two people's are alike.
Under the hood it's a Neural Cellular Automaton (NCA): a grid of cells where each cell follows the same small learned rule and can only see its closest neighbors. No cell is told what the final picture should look like. The shape builds itself out of thousands of local interactions, the way structure forms in living tissue. Each song you pass seeds and nudges the field, and the colors come from the artwork of the music itself.
Because the rule is local and learned, the field behaves like something organic: disturb it and it heals, growing back toward its stable form. The interactive lizard we show you when you first open the app does the same thing. Damage it, and watch it knit itself back together.
The idea of a learnable, self-organizing, self-healing cellular automaton comes from the research article “Growing Neural Cellular Automata” by Alexander Mordvintsev, Ettore Randazzo, Eyvind Niklasson, and Michael Levin, published in Distill (2020). The onboarding lizard you interact with is their pretrained demo, used with credit. MuseShare's own Resonance is our own model and implementation, inspired by their work.

Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 20, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information MuseShare ("MuseShare," "we," "us") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using MuseShare you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
- Account information. Your email address (used for sign-in and account recovery) and a username you choose.
- Profile information. Your chosen username, an avatar color, and a profile image you select from album artwork, along with the album artwork you collect ("Cover Wall") and favorites.
- Music you share. The streaming links you paste and the song details we resolve from them (the title, artist, and cover artwork), plus any optional note you add. To resolve a pasted link into matching links and metadata, the link is sent to Odesli (song.link).
- Social connections & safety. Friend requests and connections, accounts you block, and reports you submit.
- Resonance data. A generative visualization ("Resonance") derived from your sharing activity, plus a small color palette used to render it.
- App preferences. Settings such as your theme are stored locally on your device.
We do not collect your streaming passwords. We do not run third-party advertising or analytics SDKs, and we do not sell your personal information.
How we use your information
- To provide MuseShare: sending passes, resolving links, rendering your profile and Resonance, and delivering messages.
- To keep the service safe by supporting blocking, reporting, and account management.
- To maintain and improve the reliability of the app.
Service providers
- Google Firebase (Authentication and Cloud Firestore), provided by Google LLC, stores your account and content and handles sign-in. See Google's privacy policy for how Google processes this data.
- Odesli (song.link) receives the streaming links you paste in order to return matching cross-platform links and song metadata.
- Streaming services. When you open a song, you leave MuseShare for that service's app or website, and that service's own privacy policy applies.
Data retention and deletion
You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account. Deleting your account removes your profile, username, Resonance, friend connections, block list, and your public posts. Messages you have already sent in a direct conversation may remain in the other person's thread, shown as coming from a deleted user.
Children
MuseShare is intended for people 13 years of age or older. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We rely on industry-standard infrastructure (Google Firebase) to store and protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to safeguard your information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above, and continued use of MuseShare means you accept the revised policy.

MuseShare is built on the work of others, and we want to name it clearly.
Growing Neural Cellular Automata
The self-organizing, self-healing cellular automaton that inspired Resonance, and the interactive lizard shown during onboarding, come from “Growing Neural Cellular Automata” by Alexander Mordvintsev, Ettore Randazzo, Eyvind Niklasson, and Michael Levin, Distill (2020). Their demo code is used under the Apache License 2.0, and their pretrained model is used under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0). MuseShare's own Resonance is a separate model and implementation inspired by their research.

Odesli (song.link)
Cross-platform link resolution is powered by Odesli (song.link), which turns one streaming link into matching links across services.
Infrastructure
Accounts and data are handled by Google Firebase. The app itself is built with React Native and Expo. Each of these is used under its own open-source or service license.
The applicable license notices are bundled with the app, and full license texts are available on request at support@museshare.app.
