A WORKFLOW THAT FEELS LIKE YOURS
Less setup. More building.
Create a computer, connect your tools,
and pick up where you left off.
Start it here. Run it there. Keep track of both.
The tools you know, with room to work elsewhere.
A server in your computer. A preview in your browser.
THE DETAILS, TAKEN CARE OF
Give each computer what it needs.
Repositories, credentials, and export files.
Managed in the same place.
Secrets, scoped to the job
Keep credentials in your device’s credential store. Choose the computers and HTTPS domains that can use them.
How secrets workA way back
Export a local computer to an export file. Import it as a new computer, ready to start again.
About export and importMake room for your next idea.
Get Silo. The runtime, Linux image, and Git tools come with it.
Release notesA few things to know.
Do I need to change my editor?
No. Choose your preferred editor and terminal in Silo. Open a project from Files, or use SSH access with a compatible editor or coding agent.
How do remote computers work?
Install Silo on both devices. Enable SSH access and Allow connections from other devices on the owning device, then connect from your device. Keep Silo running on the owning device. Manage its GitHub account, secrets, exports, and imports there.
Remote setup guide →What happens when I stop a computer?
Your files survive stops, restarts, and app updates. Quitting Silo stops its local computers and preserves their files; computers on other devices keep running.
Do I need to connect GitHub?
No. GitHub is optional. You can create a computer and work in its terminal without connecting an account.
