Trellis installs straight from your browser. It looks and works like any app on your phone — it's just never out of date, and there's nothing to download from a store.
It has to be Safari — Apple only allows home-screen installs from there.
The square with the arrow pointing up, at the bottom of the screen.
Scroll down a little if you don't see it, then tap Add. That's it — the sprout is on your home screen.
Most Android phones will offer to install right away with a banner at the bottom.
No banner? Tap the ⋮ menu in the top corner, then Add to Home screen → Install.
Trellis now lives in your app drawer and home screen, full-screen, no browser bar.
Works great on Windows, Mac, and Chromebooks — handy for a kitchen laptop or the kids' school Chromebook.
A small screen-with-arrow icon at the right end of the address bar, or the browser menu → Install Trellis.
Trellis opens in its own window like a regular app. Pin it to the taskbar or dock so the day's rhythm is one click away.
Fair question — here's the real reasoning, not the marketing version.
App stores take up to 30% of every membership. Skipping them is a big part of how a whole family costs less than one hour of tutoring.
Fixes and improvements arrive the moment we ship them — no update screens, no "please update to continue," no waiting on store review.
Phone, tablet, laptop, Chromebook — one Trellis, one account, and your family's day stays in sync across all of them.
