Trellis is now open to every family — install it free in under a minute
Built by a family, for families

Give your family something to climb
— not one more thing to manage.

Trellis is one family membership with two parts: HQ turns your family's daily rhythm into a game your kids actually want to play, and Academy gives every child a patient learning coach that meets them exactly where they are. So you get to go back to being their parent — not their project manager.

The opening look at Trellis — a real family's day, not a mockup

A trellis gives a growing plant something sturdy to climb. Trellis does the same for families — the structure to grow on, and the room to flourish.

One membership, two products

Structure for the day.
A coach for the mind.

Trellis HQ

Your family's daily rhythm, turned into a game

A shared schedule and a token economy. Kids earn tokens by doing their day — then cash them in for rewards your family does together.

  • A flexible routine kids can see and own
  • Tokens for finished tasks, approved by you
  • Real-world rewards: pick the movie, stay up late, plan the weekend
  • Every reward is a nudge off the screen, toward each other
Trellis Academy

A patient learning coach for every child

A short diagnostic finds where each child actually is — then Academy grows with them through milestones, at a fraction of what a tutor costs.

  • Meets each child where they are — no labels, no boxes
  • Adapts as they grow, one milestone at a time
  • Built to fight summer learning loss
  • Encouraging, never punishing — wrong answers are how we learn
See it, don't take our word for it

One family, every screen

These are real recordings of the app — the same screens your family will see, on the devices you already own.

Trellis on desktop, tablet, and phone — HQ, the daily check-off, and the Academy coach.

How Trellis works

1

Install it in a minute

Trellis installs straight from your browser — no app store, nothing to update. Here's how.

2

Set your family's rhythm

Add your kids, sketch the day, and pick the rewards that fit your family. Each child takes a short, friendly diagnostic — no grades, no pressure.

3

Watch them run with it

Kids check off their day, earn tokens, and learn with their coach. You approve rewards and watch the streaks build.

Built for every kind of brain

Made with neurodivergent families in mind

Systems and consistency can be genuinely hard — for the parent trying to hold the day together, and for the child living inside it. Trellis was shaped by families who know that firsthand. It bends to your family's rhythm instead of demanding a perfect one, so structure feels like support, never pressure. Every kind of brain, from the parents to the kids.

Flexible routines, not rigid schedules Visual, predictable, low-surprise Gentle by design — no punishments Wins sized to each child No labels, no boxes Works with your rhythm, not against it
The founding families

The whole point is what happens
off the screen

Trellis started with a handful of founding families — ours included. These are the moments the tokens are for.

A mom and her son making dough together — some lessons don't need a screen at all
A mother reading with her daughter on the bed — what time well spent actually looks like
Kids making art at an outdoor table — some masterpieces don't need a screen
Three kids gathered around a mixing bowl — teamwork tastes better homemade
A mom and her three boys piled together at the beach — the noise we want more of
Two kids decorating a gingerbread house — no instructions needed, just icing and imagination
The part parents ask about first

Your kids are not the product

No ads. Ever.

Not "limited ads." Not "ad-supported tier." Zero. Your membership is our only business model, so we work for you — not advertisers.

Privacy-first by design

Parents control every account. We collect the minimum needed to run the app, and we never sell family data. Full stop.

Honest AI, on a leash

Academy's coach stays inside learning — it doesn't chat about anything else, and parents can see what their child is working on anytime.

The founders' five kids — the first Trellis testers
Why Trellis exists

We didn't set out to start a company.
We set out to fix our summer.

Trellis started at our kitchen table — two parents, five kids, and a summer that was slipping into screens. We built the thing we couldn't find. Our kids were the first testers, and they're still the toughest ones.
