AI that helps you tend to the people who made you.
A private family network that notices who's gone quiet, makes sure the everyday isn't missed, and keeps your family's stories.
Three generations. One network. Everyone wants the same thing.
Every Tennd network is built around one person — the Focus — and the family and friends who support them, their Supporters. Here's one family.
Wants to matter to the people she loves — and to keep her independence.
Want to know how Mum's week has been — and to share the load, so it doesn't fall on one of them.
Wants to stay close to Grandma in moments that fit between lectures.
Your family cares. Life gets in the way.
Distance, busy lives and too little time. Nobody decides to drift — it happens one missed call at a time.
Then one day you notice. The birthday call was two days late. It's been three weeks since anyone really talked to Mum or Dad. And there's a photo on their wall you've never heard the story behind.
"I don't want to be a duty. I want to be part of things."
"Did you ring Mum this week?" "I thought you did."
"Grandma's stories are slipping away, and I never know when to ask."
No parent should drift to the edge of their own family.
We know what it's like to wish you'd asked one more question.
Tennd began with loss. Between us, we have lost parents, and in the years before, we did what so many families do: juggled work, distance and our own families, called when we could, visited when we could, and always meant to do more.
What stayed with us afterwards wasn't only grief. It was the small things that had slipped by: the calls that got shorter, the weeks that went past, and the questions we never got round to asking.
"Was it the red front door that made you choose our first house?"
"What do you remember most about your dad?"
"What was it like the day I was born?"
We realised that most families will face exactly what we faced. Not because they don't care, but because life gets in the way.
So we built what we wish we'd had: one private place that makes staying close easy, notices when someone is drifting, and keeps the family's stories while there's still time to ask.
"AI should not replace the people we love. It should help us love them better."

Set up your network
One of you sets it up once. Your loved one becomes the Focus, and the family join as Supporters. Share the admin, so nobody carries it alone.
Say hello in one tap
Quick Connect sends your loved one a selfie, a voice note or a 20-second video — and Tennd nudges whoever's gone quiet.
Never miss the everyday
Reminders for tablets, appointments and birthdays. Your loved one confirms, and the network can see it's done.
Two everyday loops WhatsApp can't close.
WhatsApp can send a photo or ping an event. What it can't do is notice who's gone quiet, or show the family that a reminder was done. Tennd closes both loops.
Quick Connect: hello, in one tap
It's been a while since James was in touch, so Tennd nudges him with an idea for what to send.
From his home screen he picks a selfie, a voice note or a 20-second video. No chat to open, no group to find.
It arrives on Mum's simple, big-button screen — and helps the family garden grow.
In WhatsApp: nobody notices who's gone quiet, and Mum's hello gets buried under the school run.
Reminders: never miss the everyday
David adds "Morning tablets", every day, in the morning — or a GP visit, or a birthday.
It appears on Mum's screen at the right time. One big button to say it's done.
"Mum confirmed a reminder" appears in the family feed — so neither Claire nor David has to ring and ask.
In WhatsApp: event reminders are built for get-togethers, not a daily routine — and there's no "done" for Mum to tap. Tennd reminds; it doesn't manage treatment.
One network. Something for everyone in it.
Tennd is organised around the Focus, with a clear place for every Supporter.
Here's what each part of Tennd does for Margaret, Claire, David and James.
Gather and keep your family's stories — ready in minutes, and everyone can add to them.
How they met. The house on the corner. The job they left to start again. The stories only Mum or Dad can tell — told in their own voice, shaped with a little help from AI, and kept by the whole family.
No blank page and no typing. Your loved one looks at a photo and talks, the way they would over a cup of tea. Tennd listens, asks the question a grandchild would ask next, and turns the conversation into a short, warm story in their words — ready in minutes for everyone to read, react to and keep.
Family history has never been more popular.
Millions of us now build family trees online, send off DNA kits and watch Who Do You Think You Are?, which has been on our screens for more than twenty years. But records can only tell you when someone lived.
Only they can tell you what it was like. Tennd Stories keeps that, in their own voice, while there's still time to ask.
How a story is made
Not another memory book. A family's living story.
Memory apps usually ask one person to do the remembering alone. Tennd Stories makes it something the family does together.
Know the day has got going — without anyone having to ask.
The kitchen's been busy since half seven. The front room is warm. The small, ordinary signs that Mum or Dad's day is going as normal — gathered quietly by a few sensors you choose, and shared with the whole network in plain words.
Nothing to wear, nothing to press, no cameras and nothing to report. Your loved one simply gets on with their day. Home sits alongside the Reminders and "I'm up" signal the family already uses, so Claire and David see the same calm picture — and neither has to ring round to find out.

How Home works
Not an alarm. Not a camera. A quiet sense of how the day is going.
Most home technology for older people waits for something to go wrong. Home is about the ordinary days — and keeping the whole family in the picture.
Home isn't an emergency service and doesn't replace care. If your loved one has a personal alarm, keep it — Home works alongside it, not instead of it.
Without it, calls get shorter, small changes go unnoticed, and the stories go untold.
Because love needs tending.
A family that's closer every day, with its stories written down while there's still time to ask. The garden is thriving, and the shelf of stories keeps growing.
Known, not managed. She hears from someone every day.
Both know how Mum's week has been without a round of phone calls — and share the load between them.
Stays close on his own terms, and helps write the family's history.
Private by design. Careful by choice.
Family only
Every network is private and invitation-only. No public profiles, no strangers.
Clear roles
Your loved one at the centre as the Focus, Supporters around them, and admins who share the running of the network. Sensitive changes go through server-side checks.
Honest about what it is
Tennd shows signals and sends reminders. It doesn't diagnose, treat or replace care.
Built for UK rules

What people ask us first.
Who is Tennd for?
Families with an older parent or grandparent at their heart — the Focus — and the children, grandchildren and close friends who support them.
Does Mum or Dad need to be good with technology?
No. Their screen is deliberately simple, with large text and big buttons, and Stories needs only their voice. Video calls on the TV are on our roadmap.
We already have a family WhatsApp. Why add Tennd?
Keep it. Tennd isn't another messenger. It closes the loops WhatsApp can't: a nudge to whoever's gone quiet with a one-tap reply, reminders your loved one confirms that the whole network can see, and a passive "I'm up" — plus stories that are kept.
Is Tennd a medical service?
No. Tennd helps families connect and shows simple signals about daily life. Reminders remind; they don't manage treatment. It is not a substitute for care or emergency services.
What stage are you at?
Tennd is live in alpha with early families. Social — including Quick Connect and Reminders — launches with Stories in version 1, with Home following.
Tend to your people.
Bring your family network into the alpha — or see Tennd for yourself first in a demo network.
WhatsApp was built for talking. Tennd is built for staying close.
Keep WhatsApp for plans and photos. Tennd adds what WhatsApp can't do — because it knows who the network is gathered around.
A family garden that grows as you connect.
Every call, voice note, check-in and confirmed reminder helps it grow — a shared picture of how the network is doing, never a score on your loved one.
