Vision
From iPhone storage relief to a private AI memory layer.
SILO starts with a simple pain: iPhones fill up, iCloud gets expensive, and SSD backups become unusable. The long-term vision is a private media layer where your own devices store, index, and surface your memories without forcing everything into the cloud.
