About Tend — and how it treats you
Ten quiet minutes. A small, safe place to land — no login, no subscription, no judgement.
What Tend is
To tend is to care for something gently, without fixing or owning it — and that's the whole posture here. Tend is a free, anonymous web page that gives you a kind ten-minute breather when you're low: a living calm scene, gentle activities, and a warm message at the end that's shaped by how you engaged, not by anything you had to type. It's a breather, not a fix. If you'd rather skip the warmth, “Just the tools” mode gives you a plain private mood log you can take to a therapist.
Crisis safety comes first — always
If anything you write sounds like you might be in danger, Tend stops the gentle stuff and shows you real, free, confidential helplines straight away — and “Need help now” is on every screen. This works in English, Hindi, and many Indian languages, in both native script and romanized typing. This layer is never traded away for looks, and it's never the last thing we'd touch.
Tend is a kind breather — not therapy, counselling, or medical care, and not a replacement for a real person. If you're in immediate danger, please contact your local emergency number.
Your privacy, in plain words
- No account, no login, no email. You never tell us who you are.
- Your words never leave the page. The note you might write is scanned in the moment for crisis language and is not stored.
- Only anonymous activity signals are kept — e.g. “tapped a few bubbles”, “finished a breath” — so a refresh doesn't lose your ten minutes. There's no name, no contact, no tracking of you across the web.
- Nothing lingers. A session is about ten minutes, and everything tied to it is automatically deleted within 24 hours — checked on an hourly sweep, not just when the server happens to restart.
- Forget me, now. You can wipe your session's data at any moment, and it's gone immediately.
- No third-party trackers or ad networks. The page only talks to its own server — enforced in your browser, not just promised.
What we don't do
- No diagnosing or clinical advice.
- No selling or sharing of data — there's nothing personal to sell.
- No dark patterns, streaks, or guilt to pull you back.
Honest status
Tend is still an early, private preview. The therapist examples shown in resources are clearly marked as samples — only the crisis helplines are real and verified. Names, real listings, and public launch are still being decided.
Tend — come as you are, leave a little lighter. With real help one tap away.
