Plan the next call
Put a call or a dinner on someone's page. Tend shows what's coming up, and ticks it off when you log it.
Every week · about a minute
Two questions. That's it.
Who did you talk to this week? Who did you see in person? Type a few letters of a name and press Enter. Tend remembers the rest, so you don't have to keep a diary.
Each person is a plant
See who needs a little water.
Friends you're in touch with bloom. The ones you haven't called in a while start to wilt. Your closest people can wilt after a month, old friends after a year. You decide what feels right.
Small app. Thoughtful details.
Friends everywhere
Add the cities people live in, then see everyone in Lisbon before your trip.
Close, warm, occasional
Sort people into circles, each with its own pace. Nobody gets a guilt trip they don't deserve.
Skip a season
Need a break from someone for a few months? Snooze them, and they won't show as drifting.
Private by design
No account, no cloud, no tracking. Everything stays on your Mac, in a folder you can see.
Backed up every day
Tend saves a copy each day it's open, and another in your own iCloud Drive.
Get Tend
Tend is a small independent app, so the first time you open it your Mac asks you to confirm you trust it. You only do this once.

Free, and made with care
Tend is free for everyone. If it helps you call someone you'd been meaning to, you can say thanks with a coffee. It keeps the app growing.
