You set the frequency — Trellis generates your checklist each morning based on what you've done and what's left. HOW IT WORKS Tell Trellis what matters and how often. Each day, your list is ready. No planning, no deciding what goes where. Just open and start. Miss a day? The scheduler quietly redistributes across the rest of your week. No streak to break. No guilt. WHAT MAKES TRELLIS DIFFERENT Most apps give you a blank checklist and a streak counter. Trellis is a support structure. You set the rules once. It holds them in place — especially on the days you're most likely to drop them. - Automatic daily scheduling based on your rules - Rolling 7-day windows — miss Monday, the week absorbs it - Pause and resume when life gets in the way - No notifications. Open it when you want to - No account. Your data stays on your phone - No tracking, no ads BUILT FOR REAL LIFE When work ramps up and the week gets chaotic, the small things are the first to go. Not because you chose to stop — because nothing held them in place. Trellis is that structure. Free with up to 3 commitments. One-time purchase to unlock unlimited.
