Introduction
Trellis Studio is the workspace where code, agents, decisions, and history live in one local-first graph.
Trellis Studio is the first projection.: The graph is the permanent thing; Studio is the workspace that renders it your files, history, agents, decisions, and live queries on one screen, with no privileged access the projection API doesn't have.

Opens in your browser. Requires Node 18+ and git. No account, no cloud, no signup.
For the long-form argument, read A Polite Lie Told to Gravity on brew.build.
One workspace instead of five tools
Most teams split context across an editor, terminal, VCS, issue tracker, agent chat, and a wiki. Trellis Studio collapses them into one graph-native workspace.
The code you edit is the same data the agents read. The decisions agents make are the same records your team reviews. The history is queryable, not buried in commit messages.
What's inside
| Surface | What you get |
|---|---|
| Graph view: | Live causal stream filter, explore, and inspect every change |
| Code editor: | Files, entities, and relationships side by side with wiki-links across the project |
| Embedded agents: | Agents run in the workspace; every tool call is a durable op, not chat scrollback |
| Decision traces: | Capture the why behind human and agent changes guide |
| Issues and milestones | Task tracking in the same graph as the code guide |
| Idea Garden: | Searchable, revivable clusters from abandoned exploration guide |
Projections add lenses on top: Notes, Calendar, Whiteboards, CMS collections, and custom workspace views. See Projections and whiteboards.
Cloud workspaces can publish static sites to https://<slug>.studio.trellis.computer without tying uptime to the sandbox VM.
For agents, for humans, for both
An agent's edit and your edit produce the same kind of op. An agent's decision and your decision sit in the same trace. Studio is where that becomes obvious.
Agents need durable memory and a causal record of their actions. Humans need the same record in a workspace they can read, edit, and steer. Studio is one surface for both.
How it relates to Trellis
Trellis is the engine: the local-first causal graph that stores entities, ops, decisions, and references. Trellis Studio is the engine's canonical surface.
The CLI, SDKs, and server work without Studio. But Studio is where Trellis becomes tangible, and where the parts that usually live in five tools come together.
