Your notes, filed in your own private silos.
A calm, offline-first notebook you fully own. Free forever, private by design, with every feature included.
Your email is stored in a private database and is never sold or shared.
A place for each part of life
Mornings, moods, and the small things.
Meals, workouts, and how you feel.
Decisions, follow-ups, and notes to self.
Books, highlights, and margin notes.
The whole catalog
Full feature listEverything stays with you
Your writing lives in a local database on your own device. Nothing is uploaded in the background, and there is no account to create just to start writing.
Silos keep your life sorted
Give each part of your life its own quiet compartment. Journal, health, work, and ideas each get their own home, with their own tags and settings.
AI on your terms, or not at all
The app is complete without it. When you want help, point SILONotes at a model on your own machine or bring keys you already have, and you decide what leaves the page. SILO Sam goes one better: it searches your notes rather than sending them, and every claim it makes carries a chip that opens the note it came from.
Write the way you think
Blocks for headings, lists, checklists, images, and audio. Dictate hands-free, read long-form in a focused reader, and listen to any note read aloud.
Yours to keep and move
Export your whole library as a single portable file with checksums. Restore it on your phone or your desktop. Your notes are never locked in.
Calm by design
Six warm, easy-on-the-eyes themes and a layout that gets out of your way. A tool that feels good to open every day.
Free forever, with everything included
SILONotes is free, and it stays free. Every feature is available to everyone, and nothing is held back behind a paid tier. There are no seats, no trials, and no locked buttons.
No paywalls, no locked features
There is no SILONotes server
We do not run a model, a proxy, or a service your writing passes through, and there is no hosted plan to buy. When you use AI, the request goes from your device to the place you chose: a model on your own machine, or a provider you already have an account with. Nothing is held back waiting for a paid tier to exist.
Your model, your keys, your call
If you need a hand
Twenty guide articles with screenshots from both apps. SILO Sam answers from that same guide inside SILONotes, without you coming back here. And support@silonotes.app reaches a person.
