Owning a home means a hundred small decisions nobody teaches you: when the furnace filter was last changed, which plumber to trust, whether that noise is a problem. Tend is a mobile app that keeps track of your home, your projects, appliances, vendors, and reminders, and uses AI to help you make better calls. A tool that builds your homeowner skills over time, not one that assumes you already have them.
What's in it
- Worth Knowing: a daily feed of insights tuned to your home, your weather, the season, and your project history. Specific to your house, not generic content.
- Ask Tend: a chat anchored on your home's real context, so "is this a DIY job or should I call someone?" gets a useful answer.
- Vendor search: real local pros anchored to your address, ranked, with phone numbers ready to call.
- Inspection & invoice import: upload a PDF and Tend pre-fills your appliances, projects, and home history automatically.
- Records that hold up: a maintenance report you can generate for buyers, skill milestones, and a document library for warranties and manuals.
The idea
Most home apps are either feature dumps for people who already know what they're doing, or to-do lists that don't help when the dishwasher floods at 11 PM. Tend sits in between: enough scaffolding to feel competent, a real tracking system underneath, and AI doing the parts people hate while leaving the decisions to you.
Where it's going
V1 is the foundation, and it's out now: Tend is available on the App Store and Google Play. From here: deeper skill-building, tighter integrations with the tools homeowners actually use, and ways to learn from other people's projects without it becoming another social feed.
Tend is available now on the App Store and Google Play. It is a product of Empty Bar LLC, Hastings, Minnesota.
