A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Good questions.

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 get CiteSilo?

Download it for Windows or Mac from this page, open it and sign in with Google or your email. Your 14-day free trial starts right away, with no card needed.

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.

How much does it cost?

CiteSilo Pro is $25 a month after a 14-day free trial. No card is needed to start, and you can cancel anytime from the app. If you connect your own cloud AI provider, its fees are separate.

What happens after the free trial?

Searching and everything already recorded keep working. Writing up your days and your calls pauses until you subscribe.

Do I need an AI subscription?

No. Without one, CiteSilo still finds your files, searches your screen history and counts your time. For AI-written summaries and answers, add your own Google Gemini key (free to start) or Claude key, or install Ollama to run a model on your own computer.

Is it available for macOS?

Yes, for Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Intel Macs are not supported yet.

MAKE ROOM FOR YOUR NEXT IDEA

A little less searching.
A lot more momentum.

Give your work a way back.
