Silo is for developers juggling coding agents across many projects. Keep every project running simultaneously — terminals, agents, and layout intact — and switch between them instantly. 100% open source and free forever.
The problem with one-workspace-at-a-time editors
VS Code and Cursor are file-first editors. They're built around a single active workspace — which made sense when you were writing the code.
Now you're coordinating 3–5 AI coding agents simultaneously across different projects. Every time you switch context, you lose your terminal state. Your agents get interrupted. You spend more time rebuilding context than doing actual work.
Silo is built around the opposite model.
Open as many project workspaces as you need and tab between them instantly. Each workspace keeps its terminals running, its layout intact, and its agents working — exactly as you left it. Switching takes a keystroke, not a minute.
How it works
- Instant switching, zero reload — each project gets its own persistent tab; switch instantly without losing anything
- Free and open source, forever — MIT licensed, no subscription, no account, no enterprise tier; fork it, contribute to it, build on it
- Local-first — everything runs on your machine; no cloud sync, no telemetry, no account required
- Layout that sticks — each workspace remembers its exact terminal tab arrangement; name tabs for specific jobs and they're waiting exactly where you left them
- Terminals and editors as equals — a terminal tab and an editor tab are the same thing; arrange them side by side, stack them, name them; span a workspace across multiple folders for monorepos or paired projects
- Extension SDK — every built-in feature ships as an extension against the same public API you get; browse and install from extensions.getsilo.dev or Settings → Extensions
Who it's for
- You run Claude Code, Aider, or other AI coding agents and want to keep several going at once
- You work across multiple projects simultaneously and hate losing terminal state when switching
- You live in the terminal more than the editor
- You've hit the ceiling of what a single-workspace editor can do for your workflow
Maelezo ya mchapishaji (Kiingereza)
Silo ni nini?
Silo ni programu ya chanzo huria ya Windows kutoka Dave Weaver, katika kategoria ya “IDE na vihariri vya msimbo”.
Usakinishaji na mahitaji
Kuna visakinishi rasmi kwa 64-bit katika muundo wa EXE (NSIS) na MSI. Inaweza kusakinishwa kwa mtumiaji wa sasa pekee, bila haki za msimamizi. Kisakinishi kinaruhusu usakinishaji bila maswali (kimya). Kuna kifurushi cha MSI cha kusambaza kupitia Group Policy, Intune au Configuration Manager.
Faida / Hasara
Faida
- Chanzo huria: mtu yeyote anaweza kukagua na kujenga msimbo
- Kifurushi cha MSI kwa usambazaji unaosimamiwa
- Usakinishaji kimya umeelezwa
- Inasakinishwa bila haki za msimamizi
- Imesasishwa ndani ya miezi miwili iliyopita
Hasara
- Hakuna toleo asili la ARM64
Kwa ufupi: Silo ni zana ya chanzo huria ya kundi la “IDE na vihariri vya msimbo” kwa kompyuta za 64-bit. Wasimamizi wa mifumo wanaweza kuisambaza bila maswali.
Je, ni salama kupakua Silo?
- Faili inatolewa na github.com, kikoa cha mchapishaji mwenyewe
- Kiungo cha kupakua kinatumia HTTPS
- Hashi ya SHA256 imechapishwa, hivyo unaweza kuthibitisha faili:
FA8C07779B5032BBCA4ACDFD5A7163D0E0606B3410CB68FD0CE9321C4A8034D0· Fungua ripoti ya VirusTotal ya hashi hii - Kiungo bado hakijakaguliwa
- Msimbo chanzo uko wazi kwa umma
- ExeAtlas haihifadhi, haifungi wala haibadilishi visakinishi

Maswali yanayoulizwa mara kwa mara
Je, Silo ni bure?
Ndiyo. Silo ni programu ya chanzo huria chini ya leseni ya MIT.
Je, ni salama kupakua Silo?
Faili inapakuliwa kutoka github.com, ambayo ni ya mchapishaji mwenyewe; ExeAtlas haihifadhi wala haibadilishi faili. Linganisha hashi yake ya SHA256 na ile iliyoonyeshwa hapa, au fungua ripoti ya VirusTotal ya hashi hiyo.
Jinsi ya kusakinisha Silo kwa winget?
Fungua PowerShell au Windows Terminal na uendeshe amri ya winget iliyoonyeshwa kwenye ukurasa huu. winget hupakua kisakinishi rasmi na kukagua hashi yake ya SHA256 kabla ya kukiendesha.
Je, Silo inaweza kusakinishwa kimya?
Ndiyo. Ukurasa wa usakinishaji kimya unaonyesha amri kamili kwa kila kisakinishi, ikiwemo msiexec kwa kifurushi cha MSI.
Je, Silo inafanya kazi kwenye ARM (Windows on Arm)?
Hakuna toleo la ARM64; Windows 11 on Arm inaweza kuendesha toleo la 64-bit kupitia uigaji (emulation).
Je, Silo inaweza kutumika bila haki za msimamizi?
Ndiyo, kuna kisakinishi cha mtumiaji mmoja kisichohitaji haki za msimamizi.
Ni programu gani mbadala wa Silo?
Apache NetBeans, Node.js (LTS), RStudio, Haxe na VSCodium. Ukurasa wa mbadala unazilinganisha.
