Change the app’s supported settings.
Your apps.
Your infrastructure.
Your rules.
An app-store experience for software you own. Choose proven open-source apps, run them on infrastructure you control, and change them to fit your business. Trellis and its app-specific agents handle the operating work.
- 01
Connect your infrastructure once.
An administrator connects your cloud account and sets the region, budget and access rules. Hetzner is the first cloud target. Installing the next app should not mean doing that work again.
You decide: where your software and data live, and what you’re willing to spend.
- 02
Choose an app. Start using it.
Select Memos for notes, review its home and expected cost, install it and open your own instance. Already running Plane? Connect that deployment instead of replacing it.
You see: your apps, an Open app action, settings and anything that needs attention—not a wall of containers.
- 03
Make the software yours.
Use settings for the usual changes. Ask an agent that knows the application’s codebase for something more specific: a different screen, a new workflow or a connection to another tool.
Configure“Keep our notes private.” Change the application“Add a client-review step.” Preview an extension or code change before applying it.
Connect“Turn this note into a Plane task.” Connect the apps without rebuilding either one.
The goal: changes you own and can maintain through upgrades—not a disposable fork.
- 04
Keep the apps. Delegate the upkeep.
Trellis handles routine deployment and operating work within the permissions you set. Security, updates, backups and resource optimisation belong behind the experience. You get decisions when they matter, and deeper infrastructure controls when you want them.
You stay in control: of the code, data, hosting account and changes made on your behalf.
Software worth keeping.
Good apps carry years of useful decisions. Making them personal shouldn’t mean throwing that work away—or taking on a permanent maintenance job.
That’s the idea behind malleable software: move gradually from using an app to changing it. Trellis brings that together with application-specific operating knowledge. The ambition is to keep your changes working through upgrades, make useful adaptations reusable, and let a different agent pick up the work without starting from scratch.
