A
The file is the place
A vault you can locate, move, back up, and inspect.
Silo
Your vault stays local.
Encrypted on your machine. Unlocked for one session. The browser only gets what you approve. Silo keeps credentials on your machine and makes every release of a secret an explicit action.

Three objects,
kept separate.
The close-line field marks the point where access narrows. It is the same visual rule everywhere because it describes the same event everywhere.
B
The session has a lifetime
Unlock for the work in front of you. Inactivity closes it.
C
The browser asks
One approved field crosses the gate. The vault does not.
Less interface.
More intention.
Search, inspect, copy, leave. Silo’s shell keeps the useful path short and makes sensitive actions visible.

Four parts.
One boundary.
Built like the object it borrows its name from: a clear exterior, repeated structural ribs, a narrow access point, and a protected center.

Silo is an open-source CLI tool for local development. Read the code, run it locally, and understand every boundary before you trust it.
