Capture selected inputs to local tracks, verify the timestamped transcript, and prepare the episode without uploading it.
Silo Systems builds infrastructure for people who would rather not negotiate with their own software. SiloCast is the same discipline, pointed at one job: turning a room full of microphones into a finished, published episode, done entirely on the machine you already own. Your unreleased show never becomes someone else's training data, and your back catalogue never lives on someone else's server.
Recording, transcription, transcript review, and supported show-note generation run on your Mac. Transcribe with Apple's on-device speech engine, or opt into a local MLX model downloaded once with your consent from a pinned, checksum-verified revision. There is no episode upload or hosted inference queue; the studio works offline with the same files you recorded locally.
No analytics SDK, telemetry, account, hosted API, or cloud processing. The audio you record, the transcript, timeline markers, generated copy, and exports stay in the App Sandbox or the folder you choose.
Show notes and transcript-linked chapters are prepared locally through Apple Foundation Models when available, with an honest local fallback. The result remains editable and exportable without sending an unreleased episode to a cloud service.
SiloCast records each USB or XLR microphone and the system audio loopback simultaneously through Core Audio, each captured to its own track. Whoever is in the room and whoever is on the call land in the same session. No virtual cable, no second recorder, no bot joining your show.
Apple Speech turns the recorded session into a timestamped transcript on your Mac. The transcript stays tied to the episode timeline, so a chapter can lead back to the nearest spoken line before you include it in a release bundle.
Correct speakers or wording while keeping the source audio unchanged. In version 1.2.0, one publish action writes processed audio, reviewed chapters, SRT and VTT captions, show notes, a checklist, and a SHA-256 receipt to the folder you choose. Nothing is uploaded or published for you.
Record selected USB, XLR, or Core Audio input devices at the same time, with one local track per selected device. Multi-channel interfaces are downmixed into that device track.
Correct a speaker label or wording in the timestamped transcript and save that local text revision. Transcript edits do not alter, cut, or replace the recorded source audio.
Apple Speech creates a timestamped local transcript that remains tied to the episode timeline and supports source-linked chapter review.
Search the wording saved across local sessions, inspect the matching timestamped line, and correct speakers or text without changing the recording.
Create editable show notes and chapter suggestions locally with Apple Foundation Models when available and an honest local fallback when they are not.
