⌂SiloKeep

For volunteer crews, clubs, congregations, and boards

Everyone on the same page.
No one reading over your shoulder.

SiloKeep is one quiet place for your group's people, calendar, follow-ups, meetings, and messages. Everything lives on your members' own devices, locked so only your group can read it — no ads, no algorithm, no company looking in.

Free to try on your own device · $20 a year for the whole group, not per person

The same group's Messages on a phone: a potluck reminder, a reply, and a thank-you reaction

A short tour

Five plain pages. Nothing to learn twice.

Messages

The group text, without the chaos

One stream for the whole group — a reminder, a thank-you, a question. Reply to a message and it quotes what you're answering; react with a simple 👍 or 🙏. When something new arrives, members get a small notice that never shows what the message says.

  • No channels or threads to get lost in
  • Nobody has to share their phone number
  • No ads, no “suggested content”, no one mining it

Calendar

One calendar everyone can trust

Meetings, cleanups, potlucks — including events that repeat monthly without retyping. And when another group needs to see your schedule, you can share just the calendar: they never see your people, notes, or messages.

  • Repeating events, entered once
  • Share a calendar without sharing the group
  • Prepare a meeting note straight from an event

Follow-up

Decisions that don't evaporate

“Someone should call the hall” becomes Ruth is calling the hall, review by Friday. Everyone can see what's open, who has it, and what's past its date — so the next meeting starts where the last one ended.

  • Assign to a person, with a review-by date
  • “I saw this” acknowledgments — no nagging required
  • Turn a meeting decision into a follow-up in one tap
Follow-up
Three open follow-ups, each assigned to a person with a review date

People

The roster, finally in one place

Names, phone numbers, and who's responsible for what — off the paper list and out of that one member's head. Inviting someone is one link, sent however you already talk. No email addresses, no passwords, no accounts to administer.

  • Everyone sees the same, up-to-date list
  • Assignments live next to the people who hold them
  • Removing someone takes their access with them

Private by design, not by policy

Your group's business is nobody else's.

Most “free” group apps pay for themselves with your conversations. SiloKeep is built the other way around: it cannot read your group's content, because the content never reaches us in readable form.

Lives on your devices Everything is saved on each member's own phone or computer first, and works even with no internet.
Locked while it travels When devices share updates, the content is locked so only people in your group can read it — including from us.
No email, no password An account is 24 secret words on a printed card, plus Face ID or a fingerprint for everyday sign-in.
Boundaries you can see Share a calendar with outsiders and that is all they get — the roster, notes, and messages stay locked away.

Honesty over promises: someone you later remove keeps what already reached their device — no app can reach into someone else's phone and erase it. SiloKeep tells you where the boundaries are instead of pretending there are none. Read the plain-words privacy page →

Every member counts

Designed for the least-technical person in your group.

A group tool only works if everyone can use it — including the member who has never installed an app in their life. SiloKeep is written in plain words, with big readable buttons and a one-tap “Larger text” switch. Every release is walked through by automated usability tests built around a 70-year-old first-time user, on everything from a big desktop monitor to a small, older phone.

  • Plain words — no “sync”, no “encryption”, no jargon
  • A “Larger text” button on every page
  • Buttons sized for real fingers, on real phones
  • Works in any browser — nothing to install, though you can add it to a home screen

Simple, honest pricing

$20 a year. For the whole group.

Not per person, not per feature. Try everything free on your own device; the annual fee starts when your group begins sharing between devices, and it covers the sharing service and upkeep — a service that can never read what you share.

Set up your group

No card required to start. Take your data with you anytime — one click downloads everything.

Fair questions

What if someone loses their 24 secret words?

Each person's words open only their own account, and a group can have several admins — so one lost card never locks the group out. Admins can also print an offline recovery card and keep it in a safe or filing cabinet as a last-resort backstop.

Do members need an email address or phone number?

No. Joining is one link. An account is created on the spot with a printed card of 24 secret words, and everyday sign-in can be Face ID, a fingerprint, or a device PIN.

What does SiloKeep run on?

Any modern browser — Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Android. There's nothing to install, and you can add it to a phone's home screen so it opens like an app.

Can we get our information out?

Always. Any member can download everything the group has — people, assignments, calendar, notes, and messages — as one file, with one click.

Is it really private, or “private”?

Really. Content is locked on your members' devices before it travels, and the service that moves it between devices only ever handles locked copies. We publish the honest limits too — see the privacy page.

Your group deserves a quiet place.

Set it up in about two minutes. Invite people whenever you're ready.
