What I Build
Products
The Silo Ecosystem — privacy-first personal life-tracking. Own your data. Build your legacy.
The Vision
Everything in the Silo ecosystem exists to produce a journal entry worth keeping and handing down. We organize life data around the 5Ws — Who, What, When, Where, and Why — because that’s how humans naturally remember.
Passive capture (sensors, providers, automation) creates the skeleton. Active capture (your thoughts, context, curation) provides the soul. Neither is sufficient alone.
The Legacy Test: “Will my children find this meaningful in 30 years?” — this guides every feature decision.
Tractor & Silo WEB
The comprehensive life-tracking platform. A Ruby on Rails application that integrates data from multiple providers — Limitless conversations, RescueTime productivity, Wakatime coding time, GitHub activity — and synthesizes it with AI-powered daily summaries.
- Multi-provider data integration with AI summarization
- Calendar visualization: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly views
- Place and participant tracking with geolocation
- Rich analytics and pattern recognition
- Data-as-Design visualization aesthetic
Silo iOS
The mobile companion. Your life timeline in your pocket — browse experiences, view places on a map, see who you were with, and capture moments on the go. Built natively in Swift with SwiftUI.
- Timeline and calendar views
- Place and participant browsing
- On-the-go experience capture
- Syncs with the Tractor & Silo platform
Lens macOS
The desktop lifelogging layer. Runs quietly on your Mac, capturing context automatically — screenshots, active applications, audio transcripts — with local-first AI analysis. The passive data that fills in the gaps.
- Automated screen and context capture
- Local-first AI analysis (Ollama, Apple Intelligence)
- Activity and input monitoring
- Privacy-first: everything stays on your machine
Philosophy
Data ownership is a right, not a feature. Your life data should live on your terms — exportable, portable, yours forever. We don’t sell data, we don’t mine it, we don’t lock it in.
Privacy-first by architecture. Lens processes everything locally. Silo encrypts at rest. Your data travels encrypted and stays encrypted.
Built by one person, for real people. No venture capital, no growth-at-all-costs pressure. Just thoughtful software that earns its place in your daily life.
