Features & Capabilities

Tend is a journal that stays on your device — and actually helps you think.

Write freely, knowing your words are private. Tend uses Apple's on-device AI to reflect back what you're saying, surface patterns you might miss, and ask the questions you didn't think to ask yourself.

No accounts. No cloud sync. No one reading over your shoulder.

WRITE YOUR WAY Start with a sentence or fill a page. Tend meets you where you are — with a daily prompt if you want one, or a blank page if you don't. Track your mood, tag your entries, attach photos, and save your location.

AI THAT HELPS YOU REFLECT After you write, Tend's on-device AI offers reflection questions based on what you said — not generic prompts, but responses that feel like they listened. Want to go deeper? Optionally send a single entry to Claude, Anthropic's most thoughtful AI, for richer conversation.

SEE YOUR PATTERNS Insights shows you the shape of your month — mood trends, your most-used words, and when you tend to write. The calendar gives you a visual map of your emotional life over time.

SET INTENTIONS, NOT OBLIGATIONS Tend's intentions aren't todo items. They're directions you want to grow toward. Link entries to intentions and watch your progress unfold naturally.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your entries are stored locally on your device, encrypted by iOS. Tend has no analytics, no ads, and no way to read your data. The only time anything leaves your device is when you explicitly choose "Go Deeper" — and even then, your name is stripped and nothing is stored.

PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) Free users get on-device AI reflections, unlimited entries, and full journaling features. Premium ($6.99/month) unlocks unlimited Go Deeper conversations with Claude, data import/export, historical insights, and memory features.

Your journal should be the one place where you don't perform. Tend is that place.
