## What is Silo Read?

Silo Read is a private reader, audiobook studio, and cited library-intelligence app for iPhone and iPad. Import supported documents, scans, and original MP3, M4A, M4B, or other system-supported audio. Silo Read remembers the listening spot across launches, offers bundled Kokoro or Apple voices for text, organizes and annotates your library, creates editable audiobook projects, and exports chaptered M4B files through Files.

Reading, OCR, search, narration, transforms, and cited answers run locally. Apple Foundation Models are used only when available; otherwise cited answers stay evidence-only and unsupported transforms say they are unavailable. There is no account, advertising, analytics, tracking, document upload, or cloud AI.

One-time purchase of $49.99. No subscriptions or in-app purchases.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.0.0 — 2026-08-31

Silo Read 2.0 adds imported-audio resume, an editable audiobook studio with native chaptered M4B assembly, collections and annotations, expanded reading formats and controls, local transforms and cited answers, background audio, and lock-screen controls. You can now also export stored chapter recaps and imported document text as Markdown or plain text through Files, with chapter headings preserved.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-08

This update keeps Silo Read current on iPhone and iPad, with a repaired native build boundary and verified document-library launch path. Reading, navigation, and progress remain entirely on device; there is still no account, cloud processing, tracking, or telemetry.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-07-17

No release notes.
