About Silo

Silo is an rsync GUI application. It lets you define a body of data — a "silo" — by selecting & excluding folders from source, then mirror that silo to a destination with rsync.

The interface also shows you an analytical breakdown of your populated silo. Beyond just backing up, you'll have a clear, comprehensive overview of everything inside your siloed data.

The UI interface carries a theme inspired by the TV show Silo.

How to install Silo

Click Download — the project's official release page opens in a new tab.
Download the latest .AppImage file.
Make it executable: right-click › Properties › Permissions › Allow executing as program, or run chmod +x the-file.AppImage in a terminal.
Double-click the file to run Silo — there's nothing to install, and you can delete the file to remove it.
