What is Silo?

Basically, a pomodoro timer for your wrist. But more deeply, it started as a way to utilize technology against itself. In other words, the noise of apps, social networks, and clickbait media became so overwhelming, there was a strong urge to unplug from it all. Interruptions can be unbearable in this day and age, and Silo fights it by combining time with the silent power of touch.

Why is this important? The answer can be found by digging deeper into what truly made us happy. What I’ve found is that the word “progress” keeps coming to mind. We’re happy when we contribute something new to the world; when we progress. And this works best when we’re 1) productive, 2) healthy, and 3) improving our inner well-being. So my mission behind Silo became to build ideas that hit on these marks.

Silo Focus, is the beginning of the journey. Luckily, the timing is right with the noisy world all around and the flourishing age of touch technology. What’s more, in order to actually make it happen — I personally needed a better way to manage time and be more productive at my day job. Otherwise, there literally would not be enough time in the day. On top of that, it came natural to want to scratch my own itch and create a simple productivity app that hopefully empowers others to make better use of time.
