What is CiteSilo?

CiteSilo is a desktop app that helps you find your way back to your work. Search files by what is inside them, revisit captured screen moments, ask questions with source references, and review how your day went.

Who is it for?

People who work across lots of windows, files, and projects. Freelancers, developers, and independent consultants can use it to recover context without keeping a manual log of every task.

How do I join the beta?

Enter your email in the signup field on this page. We’ll follow up by email with beta access details and next steps. The current beta is for Windows and macOS.

What stays on my computer?

Captured activity, screenshots, screen text, and your local file index are stored on your computer. If you choose a cloud AI provider, the app sends selected context to that provider for answers or summaries. Background summaries can include sampled screenshots, depending on settings and provider. You can use titles-only mode or turn off summaries.

Can I choose what gets captured?

Yes. Pause capture, exclude private apps or keywords, choose titles-only mode, and set screenshot retention. Screen rewind and meeting capture have separate controls. Review the settings before starting capture.

Do I need an AI subscription?

Local mode provides file search, screen-text search, counted reports and source excerpts without a cloud API key. AI-written summaries and interpretive answers require an optional cloud provider or a separately installed compatible Ollama model. Cloud providers may have separate charges.

Is the beta free?

Yes. CiteSilo is free during the beta. We are looking for people to try it during their everyday work and share feedback. CiteSilo does not charge for beta access. If you choose an external AI provider, its fees are separate.

Is it available for macOS?

The beta targets Windows and macOS, with macOS build workflows for Intel and Apple Silicon. Real-device validation and signing remain outstanding for version 0.1.7. Read the Windows and macOS notes linked below, or contact us about the build for your system.
