Silo (silo.photo)

We all save screenshots and links we never use. Silo auto-tags what you save, turns it into a reels-style feed, and one-tap schedules it to your calendar. So “maybe later” turns into “done.”

Inspiration

I save tons of screenshots and links (workouts, recipes, places) and never use them. I wanted something that turns those saves into actions without a new habit.

What it does

Silo watches new screenshots, lets me share links from other apps, auto-tags the content (place / action / reading), and drops a small block on my calendar. The home screen is a reels-style feed with three buttons: Schedule, Snooze, Done.

How I built it

I kept it local-first. React Native + Expo for the app, device Photos and Calendar APIs, a tiny helper for OCR/link metadata, and simple rules for tags/durations.

What I learned

It was my first time making a mobile app so the whole thing was a learning experience.

Challenges

  • iOS permissions and getting a dev build running without the App Store.
  • Not downloading IG videos (ToS), so I store the link + preview and open it in the source app.
  • Keeping the UI satisfying with very little time.
