How Tend works

Every other app hands you a list and leaves the hard part to you. Tend opens with an answer: this, now.

You stop sorting

Anything with a time sits at its time. Everything else fills the gaps, in the order that matters — and the order is Tend’s job, not yours. Open the app, look at the top, start.

Two things a card can be doing:

• Burning — you’ve let this slide, and it needs you today.
• On a streak — you’ve been showing up, and it says so.

A fire glows where it sits. Your day never rearranges itself into a wall of alarms.

Just say it

“Pay the electricity bill on the 5th of every month.” “Physio three times a week.” Type it the way you’d say it. Tend works out what it is, where it belongs, and when it’s next due, then shows you before saving.

Already did something? Say that instead, and it goes on the record.

Nothing floats

Everything you add attaches to something you care about, so a day’s work always adds up to more than a day.

A missed day stays missed

Most apps quietly roll yesterday into today so the list looks clean. Tend doesn’t. If something has been slipping, you get to see that it has — that’s the whole point of looking.

Every couple of weeks, an honest look

Tend shows you where your time actually went, which of your goals you’ve been feeding, and which you’ve been avoiding. Then you decide what to drop, what to slow down, and what deserves more. It closes after a couple of days, so it stays a moment rather than another list.

The practical bits

• Sign in with Google or Apple. There’s no Tend password.
• Completing and deferring work offline and sync when you’re back.
• Reminders arrive when you want them, or not at all.
• The text you type is read by an AI service so Tend can file it. Your name and email are never sent — see the Privacy Policy.
• Delete your account from Settings and everything goes, immediately.
