Data not collected.
Photos, projects, meshes, and usage stay on your Mac. There is no account, analytics, telemetry, advertising ID, crash reporter, or cloud inference service.
What leaves your Mac
The only outbound traffic Silo Craft Studio initiates is user-controlled:
- Optional model downloads. If you consent, the app downloads revision-pinned Hunyuan3D shape weights from Hugging Face. The exact pack size, source, license, and integrity data are shown before transfer. After installation, generation runs offline.
- Local model providers. If you configure Ollama, LM Studio, or another OpenAI-compatible provider, Silo accepts only literal
127.0.0.1or::1. Requests stay on this Mac and go only to software you run. - Local automation. The optional bearer-authenticated API is off by default and binds only to literal loopback. It never listens on a LAN or internet interface.
- Apple services. macOS may contact Apple for App Store updates. Silo Systems does not receive that traffic.
- Links you click. Your default browser handles external links.
Where local data lives
Projects, imported source images, generated artifacts, workflows, local logs, and installed packs use the managed location you choose on first run. The default remains inside the app sandbox at ~/Library/Containers/com.silosystems.silocraftstudio/Data/Library/Application Support/SiloCraftStudio/. Files you save through the standard macOS panel remain wherever you choose. Purge and clear actions run only when you explicitly ask.
Hardware gate
Import, viewing, editing, Part, inspection, workflows, and export remain available below 24 GB. Sculpt geometry requires at least 24 GB plus an installed verified shape pack. RGB generation remains disabled until the exact ≥48 GB path is certified; PBR has a separate ≥64 GB gate.
What is not included
Silo does not upload images to a Silo server. Brief text remains notes—not text-to-3D. The app does not include slicing, G-code, printer control, engineering validation, or a print-success guarantee. Imported textures are preserved in supported formats; STL is geometry-only.
