About Tend — and how it treats you
A quiet ten 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 outside professional support.
Who runs Tend
Tend is run by Made by Krish. The product promise is deliberately narrow: a short anonymous check-in, clear limits, and a privacy posture that avoids accounts, tracking cookies, ads, stored raw IP addresses, and third-party analytics.

Your privacy, in plain words
- No account, no login, no email. You never tell us who you are.
- Your note is processed only for the moment. The note you might write is scanned for crisis language and used to shape a response, but is not stored against you.
- Only anonymous activity signals are kept for sessions — e.g. “tapped a few bubbles”, “finished a breath” — so a refresh doesn't lose your ten minutes. Pet names, notes, and contact details are not stored.
- For abuse prevention, Tend uses your IP address only transiently. The app hashes it in memory to slow down spam or automated requests; raw IPs and IP hashes are not stored by Tend's app database.
- Feedback is optional and metadata-only. Text feedback and voice transcripts are checked in the moment for crisis language, but the message, transcript, optional name, and audio are not kept.
- 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. The in-app forget control calls
/api/forgetto wipe your session's signals and routine 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 professional-support 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.
