Scan 39 human-verified data-broker sites, prepare opt-out letters from verified templates, and send every request yourself — all on your Mac, no account, no subscription.
The removal-service subscriptions charge $90–$130 a year, forever, to submit opt-outs on your behalf — and they need your personal data to do it. Silo Scanner is the DIY tool that skips both sides of that trade: your profile stays on your Mac, and you pay once for a registry of verified opt-out paths, a letter generator, and a tracking log you keep for good. The subscriptions do the clicking for you; Silo Scanner prepares everything and you click send.
Your name, address, and contact details stay in the app's local sandbox — there's no account, no cloud database, and no telemetry. The only outbound network activity is the scans you initiate against public broker pages (the same requests your browser would make) and the opt-out links you choose to open. Silo Scanner never uploads your profile to a third-party removal service.
The words "guaranteed", "100%", "erased", and "permanent" appear nowhere in this app, in its letters, or in its listing. Brokers control their own databases and frequently re-list records — Silo Scanner tells you exactly that, and reminds you to re-check quarterly. Only 8 of 39 brokers currently permit an automated public check; the rest are honestly labeled "Needs Manual Check" with a link to check yourself.
Silo Scanner prepares each opt-out — a verified web form URL, a mailto-composed email into your own mail client, or a printable postal letter — and then opens it for you to send. Nothing goes out in your name without your explicit action. Every opt-out path is human-verified before it ships; if a broker's path can't be verified, you get a checklist item instead of a generated letter.
Silo Scanner runs a polite public-page check against the 8 brokers whose search pages permit it, and honestly labels the other 31 "Needs Manual Check" with a one-click link to search yourself. It never bypasses a CAPTCHA, never solves a challenge, never fabricates a status.
For the 20 brokers with a verified opt-out path, Silo Scanner fills a deterministic template — no LLM writes the letter body. For the 19 without one, you get a manual checklist item with the best-known link, never a fabricated letter. CCPA deletion language is included only when it actually applies.
Web forms open in your browser. Emails compose into your own mail client via mailto. Postal letters export as files to a folder you pick. Silo Scanner never POSTs a form or SMTPs a message on your behalf. Track each request locally, and re-check quarterly — brokers re-list.
Every entry in the bundled broker registry has been individually verified live by a human — opt-out path confirmed, search template reachable, page markers captured. The registry ships with a dated audit trail; there is no bulk-scraped list.
8 of the 39 brokers currently expose a public search page that permits an automated check. Silo Scanner runs those checks politely — ≤3 concurrent requests, ≥1 second per host, robots.txt honored — and only reports "listed" on an unambiguous marker hit.
The 31 brokers that block automated access (CAPTCHA walls, JS-only rendering, robots.txt disallow) get an honest "Needs Manual Check" label with a one-click link to search yourself. Zero HTTP is issued to brokers that said no — no probing, no workarounds.
Opt-out letters and emails are built from human-authored templates — no LLM writes any letter body. 20 of 39 brokers yield a ready-to-send letter today (14 web-form paths, 6 email paths). The other 19 route to a checklist entry with the best-known link, never a guessed letter.
Letters include CCPA deletion-right language only when the broker is covered by the CCPA and you're a California resident (26 of the 39 brokers are in scope for CA residents). Silo Scanner never asserts rights you don't have — inaccurate legal claims get requests ignored, and the app is not legal advice.
Track each opt-out through Not submitted → Submitted → Confirmed → Re-listed, all in a local JSON log inside the app container. Brokers re-list; the tracker makes the quarterly re-check straightforward. And one Settings button wipes your profile, scan results, and tracking log with a single click.
DeleteMe runs ≈ $129 a year and Incogni ≈ $90 a year — every year, forever — and you hand each service your personal data so they can opt out for you. Silo Scanner is a $49.99 one-time tool: it undercuts one year of either subscription, keeps your profile on your Mac, and the registry and letter generator keep working at zero marginal cost.
