Each app works a different field. The tractor brings the harvest home to the silo.
The tractor harvests, the silo preserves
Your life is the farm. Each app and service works a different field.
Your iPhone captures where you go. Your Mac records what you're working on. RescueTime measures your productivity. GitHub logs your code. The tractor goes out to every field and brings the harvest home.
The silo is where it's stored, preserved, and made meaningful—AI-powered summaries, pattern recognition, the people you were with, and the context only you can add. That's the idea behind the name.
Where the harvest is stored
Free · local-first · always yours
Capture apps run quietly on your devices, recording the texture of your days. They store everything locally on your device—no account required, no data leaving your phone or laptop.
They're free. Not "free trial." Not "freemium with limits." Free—because your data belongs to you whether or not you ever subscribe to anything.
Your life timeline in your pocket. Automatically captures where you go and when—running quietly in the background.
The desktop lifelogging layer. Runs quietly on your Mac, capturing context automatically with local-first AI analysis.
If you never subscribe, you still have your data. No hostage situations.
Where the harvest becomes a story
Capture apps harvest the raw material of your day. The silo is where it's preserved and made meaningful.
Tractor & Silo is where all your harvested data is stored—timeline from your phone, screen context from your laptop, productivity data from your tools, coding from GitHub. The silo synthesizes it with AI into something you'll actually want to read.
But more than that, it's where you add what the machines can't capture—who you were with, what mattered, why it was a good day or a hard one.
Every day, AI reads across all your data sources and writes a narrative of what happened—the meetings, the walks, the code, the quiet moments.
Tag who you were with. Over time, see who you spend the most time with, where you go together, how your relationships evolve.
Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly views of your life. See patterns across seasons. Revisit any day in detail.
What does your productivity look like on days you visit the office? How does coding time correlate with your mood? The journal connects dots across sources.
Attach photos, documents, and files to any experience. EXIF data is automatically extracted to place your memories in time and space.
Add what the machines can't—how you felt, why something mattered, the context only you know. The soul of the journal entry.
Passive capture creates the skeleton.
Active capture provides the soul.
The honest model
Most apps make you pay to unlock features. We make you pay to unlock synthesis.
Capture—recording your timeline, your places, your daily movement—is free. It runs on your device. It's yours. The journal is where AI summaries, cross-provider patterns, people tracking, and contextual enrichment happen. That's worth paying for.
No account required. No data leaves your device.
Your data, backed up and enriched. Cancel anytime.
Built to outlast
Every feature decision in the Silo ecosystem is guided by one question:
“Will my children find this meaningful in 30 years?”
This isn't about optimization or productivity. It's about memory. About documenting a life so that the people who come after you can find you in it.
We organize everything around the five questions that humans naturally use to remember: Who were you with? What happened? When was it? Where were you? Why did it matter?
Data ownership is a right, not a feature. Your life data should live on your terms—exportable, portable, yours forever. We don't sell data, we don't mine it, we don't lock it in.
