# Silo Systems — Full Reference Silo Systems builds privacy-first, 100% on-device macOS apps. Shared guarantees across every app: - Runs entirely on your Mac (Apple Silicon) — generation/inference is local, via Apple MLX and Apple frameworks. - No cloud, no account, no telemetry, no analytics, no data collected. Audio, documents, and prompts never leave the Mac. - Distributed on the Mac App Store as one-time purchases (no subscriptions). - Optional, consent-gated model download on first run is the only network use. ---- ## Ohm Studio Generate and train AI music entirely offline on your Mac — no cloud, no subscription, royalty-free output. - Page: https://ohmslaw.net/apps/ohm-studio - Status: Live on the Mac App Store - Price: $19.99 (one-time) - Category: Music - Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6769498585?mt=12 - Topics: ai music generator, text to music, song maker, music creator, stem splitter, lora training, offline ai music, on-device - Privacy: nothing leaves your Mac; no account; no tracking. ### FAQ Q: Does Ohm Studio require an internet connection? A: No. After the initial one-time model download, Ohm Studio runs entirely offline. Generation, LoRA training, stem separation, and audio analysis all run locally on your Apple Silicon Mac. There is no server and no account. Q: What AI model does Ohm Studio use? A: Ohm Studio uses ACE-Step 1.5, an open-weights music generation model, running through Apple's MLX framework for native Apple Silicon acceleration. You can also train custom LoRA and LoKR adapters on your own datasets. Q: Is the music I generate royalty-free? A: Yes. ACE-Step is an MIT-adjacent open-weights model. The audio you generate carries no per-stream licensing, no creator credits, and no platform claim. Use it commercially, sell it, sample it — it's yours. Q: How is Ohm Studio different from Suno or Udio? A: Suno and Udio are cloud services that process your prompts on their servers, behind a subscription and usage limits. Ohm Studio runs 100% locally on your Mac — no cloud, no account, no data collection, no rate limits — for a one-time purchase. Q: What Mac do I need to run Ohm Studio? A: Ohm Studio requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later and an Apple Silicon Mac (M1, M2, M3, or M4). It uses the MLX framework for GPU-accelerated inference directly on your chip. Q: Does Ohm Studio collect any data? A: Zero. No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporter. The PrivacyInfo manifest declares no tracking. Your prompts, datasets, and generated audio stay in your local Application Support folder. Q: How much does Ohm Studio cost? A: Ohm Studio is a one-time $19.99 purchase on the Mac App Store. No subscription, no usage tiers, no credit purchases. Every future update is included. ---- ## OhmsGrid An 8×8 AI groovebox and beat maker that generates clips 100% on-device — Launchpad, Push, and APC40 ready. - Page: https://ohmslaw.net/apps/ohms-grid - Status: Live on the Mac App Store - Price: $19.99 (one-time) - Category: Music - Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6770283277?mt=12 - Topics: beat maker, groovebox, music maker, sampler, loop maker, launchpad, push 2, apc40, midi controller, on-device music - Privacy: nothing leaves your Mac; no account; no tracking. ### FAQ Q: What is OhmsGrid? A: OhmsGrid is an 8×8 clip-based groovebox built around on-device AI music generation. Each column is an instrument and each row is a scene. Tap an empty pad and OhmsGrid generates a clip that locks to your project's key, tempo, and time signature. Q: Does OhmsGrid run in the cloud? A: No. ACE-Step 1.5 inference runs locally on Apple Silicon through Apple's MLX framework. No audio leaves your Mac, there's no subscription, and there are no generation tokens. Q: Does OhmsGrid work with hardware controllers? A: Yes. OhmsGrid is built for grid controllers — Novation Launchpad, Ableton Push 2, and Akai APC40 are supported, along with standard MIDI, so you can play and trigger the grid with your hands. Q: How fast is a generation? A: Warm generations land in roughly 2–3 seconds on Apple Silicon (measured on an M3 Max). The first generation after launch takes longer while the model loads into memory. Q: How much does OhmsGrid cost? A: OhmsGrid is a one-time $19.99 purchase on the Mac App Store. No subscription and no per-generation fees, because every clip is generated on hardware you already own. Q: Does OhmsGrid collect any data? A: No. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no account. Your projects and generated stems stay on your Mac. ---- ## OhmSplit Split any song into clean vocal, drum, bass, and instrumental stems on your Mac — offline, no upload. - Page: https://ohmslaw.net/apps/ohm-split - Status: Live on the Mac App Store - Price: $0.99 (one-time) - Category: Music - Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6776494111?mt=12 - Topics: stem splitter, vocal remover, acapella extractor, karaoke maker, instrumental, isolate vocals, remix, offline stem separation - Privacy: nothing leaves your Mac; no account; no tracking. ### FAQ Q: What does OhmSplit do?
