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 a little help, connect your own local model or your own keys. You decide exactly what, if anything, ever leaves the page.
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
Optional hosted AI is in development
If you ever want AI help without running your own server, we plan to offer an optional hosted option. The details are still being worked out and will be shared when they are ready. It will always be optional, and the app will always be complete without it.
To be decided, and always optional
Keep it free, together
SILONotes is built to stay free and private for everyone. If it has earned a place in your day and you would like to help it keep growing, a small contribution goes a long way. It is always optional, and it never unlocks anything, because nothing is locked.
