WHAT
WE
STAND
FOR.

SiloTabs is a collective of engineers and builders making tools that respect the user. No surveillance, no lock-in, no cloud dependency as a default. Everything we ship starts on your machine, owned by you.

Local-first runtime · No server required

Zero telemetry · No tracking, ever

Modular design · Swap any component

Open governance · Community roadmap

PRINCIPLE / 01

PRIVACY BY DEFAULT

The system assumes your data is yours. Every architecture decision starts from that axiom — not as a feature, but as a hard constraint.

PRINCIPLE / 02

MODULAR ARCHITECTURE

Every component is self-contained, replaceable, and composable. Build systems from primitives — never locked into a monolith.

PRINCIPLE / 03

OPEN BY CONSTITUTION

Source code, protocols, and roadmaps are public by default. We build in the open because trust requires transparency.

PRINCIPLE / 04

OFFLINE-FIRST RUNTIME

Apps run on your machine first. Cloud services can help sync or collaborate, but the core tool keeps working without them.

PRINCIPLE / 05

MINIMAL FOOTPRINT

Lean binaries, clear boundaries, and dependencies that earn their keep. The system stays readable because it stays small.

PRINCIPLE / 06

COMMUNITY-LED

Roadmaps, reviews, and decisions happen where contributors can see them. The lab grows by shared ownership.

Agent

YEMAKA

Local-first AI agent runtime exploring inspectable planning, MCP permission handling, and lightweight remote control.

Agent

AOMA

AOMA turns local meeting recordings into structured, editable meeting minutes without sending audio, transcripts, or minutes to cloud services.

In development

Utility

REMNANT CLEANER

A macOS safety-first zsh utility for finding and removing leftover macOS application files after uninstalling an app which can still serve as an uninstaller.

Roadmap

NEXT MODULE

The next build comes from real contributor proposals: connectors, tests, docs, runtimes, and local workflow tools.

04 — Active Build

YEMAKA

Yemaka is one active SiloTabs build: a local-first AI agent for low-resource computers, small local models, inspected tools, and developer workflows that keep control on the user's machine.

LOW-RESOURCE LOCAL MODELS

Yemaka turns small local Ollama models into practical assistants. It points roles at models already installed on the machine and keeps cloud fallback off unless the user configures it.

SQLITE MEMORY + FTS5 RAG

Conversation memory, project notes, tool runs, document chunks, and workflow traces live in local SQLite. FTS5 retrieval and compact summaries bring relevant context into bounded prompts.

TYPED TOOLS + SAFE ACTION

Yemaka routes tasks through typed local tools, skills, domain packs, and generated extensions. Reads stay bounded, while writes and scheduled jobs require approval and leave audit trails.

Shared core

WEB, CLI, TUI, LOCAL SERVER

The public beta focuses on the local web app, command line, terminal UI, and loopback server. Doctor checks, heartbeat status, replay traces, and QAReview keep the system inspectable.

05 — How to Join

BUILD
WITH
US.

SiloTabs is shaped by people who ship. Code, writing, testing, design, and architecture notes all count when they move the work forward.

Start on GitHub →

Builders first. Code, writing, design, documentation — all count.

Async-first. No mandatory standups. Work in your own time zone.

Public by default. Every decision happens in the open, on GitHub.

Read the Architecture

Understand the local-first principles and module boundaries before touching code. Docs live in the repo.

Pick a Module

Every project is self-contained. Choose what resonates — agents, databases, networking, or documentation.

Submit a Pull Request

No contribution is too small. A typo fix, a refactor, a new feature — ship the thing.
