Every session begins with a question: what are you here to think about? Name an intention and pick a mode — journaling, an essay, or reading — and Silt opens the right space for it.

A calm, full-screen writing canvas with two modes. Draft keeps everything out of the way so you can get words down; Revise turns on the tools for shaping what you wrote. Your notes live in the left panel.

In Revise mode every paragraph gets a small handle in the margin. Open it to keep alternate versions of that paragraph side by side, try a new phrasing without losing the original, and commit the one you like — every edit stays reversible.

As you write, the right-hand panel quietly surfaces the past notes and highlights related to the line you’re on — a thought from months ago or a passage you underlined returns exactly when it’s useful. Read it in full, or quote it straight into your draft.

Open a PDF or EPUB in the built-in reader and highlight as you read. Each highlight flows into your private corpus, so the books you read feed the writing you do. Books stay encrypted on your device.

Everything you write and read in one place — notes, journal entries, highlights and books. Search it, reopen any note in the editor, or quote a highlight into your current draft.

Bring in what you’ve already collected — import highlights from Obsidian or Kindle and they join your corpus alongside the ones you make in the reader.

Open Settings from the editor to switch language, toggle light or dark theme, choose the on-device embedding model, tune the look, or export and re-import everything as a ZIP.
