Trellis · Family operating system
Built for the family you're
Somebody's been carrying the calendar, the kids, the meals, the money conversations, and the invisible list in their head. Trellis gives your household one place to put it down.
The week in front of you and the family you're building. One system holds both.
Set up in twenty minutes. Run your first Family Meeting Sunday.

The thesis
Both timescales. One system.
Most family tools do one or the other. Logistics or meaning. Calendar apps or family meeting books. Trellis holds both.
Trellis handles today (who's picking up Kemi, what's for dinner, when the dentist is) and what comes after (the values, the rhythms, the house your grandkids will inherit).
Same product. Same week. Same pillars carrying both arcs.
The real situation
One person carries the calendar. The other one asks “wait, what?” at 4:47 on a Tuesday.
The week runs you. Kids' practices, work, dinner, somebody's appointment. Both of you trying to remember what was decided in the kitchen on Sunday morning. Family time gets squeezed into the cracks.
Most families don't have a system. They have a household. There's a difference.
What changes
Before Trellis. After Trellis.
Before Trellis
The grocery list lives in three different apps.
One parent knows the kid schedule. The other parent asks every day.
Date night gets canceled because nobody booked the sitter.
Finance Friday turns into Finance Sunday turns into Finance never.
Sunday ends with two people arguing about Monday.
After Trellis
The week sits in one place. Both adults see it.
Each kid is named. Their rhythms, their stuff, what they need this week.
Money has a time. The conversation happens. The number gets seen.
Cy notices what's drifting before it breaks.
Sunday holds the week. Monday walks in clear.
Meet Cy
The chief of staff who's always paying attention.
Cy reads every pillar, every calendar, every pattern. He's not gonna nag you. He's not gonna moralize. He's not gonna ask how you're feeling.
He'll notice the stuff you're too tired to notice. Then he'll ask one question.
And he learns your family as he goes. The longer he's with you, the sharper he gets.
Cy · Morning, Tuesday
Jaiye has practice tonight at 5. Sadé's well-visit is Thursday. You flagged a budget conversation for the weekend.
The three things that matter today
- Get Jaiye to practice on time.
- Hit your eating window.
- Text Sarah back about Saturday.
HOW IT WORKS
STEP 01 · THE WEEK
You set the rhythm.
Practice nights. Protected dinners. Sunday Family Meeting. Both of you on the same calendar, looking at the same week. No more “wait, who's getting Kemi?” at 4:47 on a Tuesday.

Cy's paying attention.
He sees every pillar, every calendar, every pattern. Practice ran four nights two weeks in a row? He's not gonna lecture you. He'll ask one question and write down what y'all decide. The longer he's with you, the more he knows what's normal for your house.
Cy · Tuesday morning
Family chief of staff
Jaiye had practice three nights this week. Last week it was four. Do you want me to flag practice volume if it crosses three again?
7:04
Yeah, flag it.
Captured. I'll surface it on Sunday before the Family Meeting. One more. Kemi hasn't had protected time with a parent in two weeks. Want to hold Thursday?
7:04
Hold Thursday with me.
Held. Thursday night is yours and Kemi's. I'll remind you at 5 and move the grocery run to Wednesday.
7:05
Tell Cy anything↵
STEP 03 · THE DASHBOARD
Monday hits different.
One screen. Both of you. Every pillar sorted by what's loud and what's quiet this week. You walk in clear, together, ready. Not scrambling.

Onboarding
Your first week in Trellis.
- Day 1Add your household and your kids.
- Day 2Pull in your calendar, set your first rhythms.
- Day 3Let Cy start watching the patterns.
- SundayRun your first Family Meeting.
The weekly rhythm
Sunday night. Thirty minutes. A whole different Monday.
The Family Meeting is the thing that holds the whole house together. Trellis pulls both your calendars, surfaces what's loud and what's quiet across the 12 pillars, and walks you through five steps: audit the week, round the pillars, commit to five decisions, capture the plan, close with one prayer or one sentence.
You walk into Monday clear. Together. Actually on the same page this time.

Every person, their view
Parents lead. Kids show up. Everybody sees the same house.
Parents
Shared dashboard. Both of you, everything in one place. No more “wait, what'd you need from me?” texts at 11pm. Decisions get made together, or they get parked for the weekend meeting.
Kids
Their own view. Their morning routine, with pictures. Their chores, with SoboBucks attached. Their calendar. Their world, age-appropriate. Real ownership without giving them the keys to everything.
The whole family
One household. One system. Everyone knows the plan.
Who built this
We built Trellis for our own family first.

This isn't a tech company guessing what families need. We needed this. We couldn't find it. So we made it.
