What does it cost?

The listed option is free to use. Hosting or model usage may still cost money.

TreeSheets is free Zlib-licensed desktop software. You supply the computer, storage and backups. Its optional local agent socket is off by default; connecting an external AI assistant has that provider’s own account, model and service terms and can cost separately. The application does not include a paid-model allowance or a managed team workspace.

Provider pricing checked 28 Oct 2026.

Installation and setup

Install on your computer · Instructions checked 2026-10-28

  1. Select a Windows, macOS or Linux package from the official release page or the provider-linked Linux Flathub channel, and review platform requirements and package-signing caveats.
  2. Open a disposable nested-grid document and organize a small outline or planning table before moving important information into the application.
  3. Save a local document and verify it can be reopened; keep separate backups before importing or automating important files.
  4. Optional external-agent integration is off by default. Read the official Agent Socket document before enabling it, use only a trusted agent and a non-sensitive test document, and close the socket when finished. AI-provider accounts, processing and charges are separate.

A hierarchical organizer, not an Excel workbook or Visio file compatibility claim. Verify any formula, import/export and collaboration requirements before moving data. These are provider-documented starting steps; AltStack did not install or execute the application.
