Your phone holds hundreds of relationships. It does nothing to help you tend to them. Tend+ changes that -- in under 2 minutes a day. THE PROBLEM EVERYONE RECOGNIZES You think of someone. A friend from college. An old coworker. Someone who meant something. You tell yourself you'll call this week. Then you don't. Weeks turn into months. Not because you stopped caring. Because nothing reminded you to act on that care. Proximity used to do this for you. You saw people at church, at the office, in the neighborhood. Now it doesn't. And the people who matter quietly drift. HOW TEND+ WORKS Each morning, Tend+ gives you a short list of people to reach out to, with prompts like: - Ask how the new job is going - See how Edgar is settling in after the move - Check how Elizabeth is adjusting with a new baby - Let Sandra know you remember it's been two years since she lost Johnny. Swipe through, reach out however feels right -- call, text, voice memo -- and move on with your day. Tend+ decides who to surface based on the rhythm you set for each person, who's overdue, and what's happening in their life. Every day feels relevant. No busywork. Over time, you can teach Tend+ about your people. Your daily prompts go from "Just say hey" to "Ask how Jennifer's doing at her new school." That's the difference between polite and personal. WHO IT'S FOR Not your closest circle -- you already think about those people. Tend+ is for the ones that distance or busy lives make harder to hold onto: - The friend who keeps meaning to call - The parent whose social world narrowed after kids - The pastor or coach tending to more people than memory can hold - Anyone who believes relationships are cultivated, not managed WHAT YOU GET Free: Up to 30 people, 5 daily cards, up to three groups, all reminder frequencies, birthday and anniversary detection, streak milestones, one-tap logging for calls, texts, and more. Tend+ Premium ($19.99/year or $2.99/month): Unlimited people, 8 daily cards, life event awareness (new baby, new job, grief, and more), personalized prompts that get smarter over time, unlimited custom groups, mass direct import from CSV file, insights, and full interaction history. Less than $2/month to be the friend who always remembers. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Tend+ does not read your messages. It does not listen to your calls. It does not sell your data. Your relationships are yours. Period. START WITH THE PEOPLE WHO COME TO MIND The old friend. The mentor. The neighbor you keep meaning to check on. They're already in your phone. Tend+ helps you tend to them. Questions or feedback?

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tend+ at 83% against Q's 19%. Tend+ also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). Q's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (56 vs 9). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
