Frequently Asked Questions

What is Silo and how does it differ from traditional Mac cleaners?
Silo is a high-performance native macOS system utility engineered in pure Swift for developers and power users. Unlike Electron-wrapped cleaners that consume 400MB+ of RAM, Silo runs at under 40MB of memory, utilizing native APFS filesystem APIs and POSIX process controls.
How does Silo's APFS Copy-on-Write deduplication work without deleting files?
Silo leverages Apple's native APFS Darwin system call clonefile(2). It converts duplicate files into APFS clones that reference the exact same physical disk blocks on your SSD. Both files continue to exist at their original paths without taking double the physical storage.
Can Silo inspect and prune Local AI LLM models like Ollama and LM Studio?
Yes. Silo includes a specialized Local AI & GGUF Model Registry that auto-discovers models across Ollama, LM Studio, Hugging Face Hub, Apple MLX, and ComfyUI, parsing binary headers to identify model architecture, parameters, and quantization levels.
Does Silo touch or delete my source code or Git repositories?
Never. Silo is equipped with a dedicated Git Safety Intelligence Engine that automatically audits repository health before any cleanup occurs. It calculates safety scores (SAFE, CAUTION, PROTECTED, BLOCKED) and strictly locks .git/ metadata.
What are the macOS system requirements for Silo?
Silo requires macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or macOS 15.0 (Sequoia) or newer. It is packaged as a Universal 2 binary with native ARM64 support for Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and x86_64 for Intel Macs.

Why Deleting ~/Library/Caches Slows Down Your Mac: The Stale-Aware Cache Guide

Standard Mac cleaners blindly purge ~/Library/Caches, triggering the infamous 'post-cleanup stutter' where apps redownload hundreds of MBs of avatars and shader caches. Here is how Stale-Aware Cache Eviction keeps your Mac fast while freeing tens of gigabytes.
