About

Tendlet

Pets, plants, and everyone who cares for them. One shared household in Tendlet. Keep animal and plant care together, share the plan with your household, and see what needs attention today. Routines, meal plans, care notes, and household activity help everyone know what to do and what has already been done. โ€” ONE HOME, ONE LIVING SYSTEM โ€” Tendlet is built around who shares the home, not around a single pet or plant. When you add a supported plant or animal, Tendlet checks reviewed hazards against the profiles already at home, names who may be affected, and requires acknowledgment for confirmed hazards. Safety guidance links to its sources and says when evidence or identification is uncertain. โ€” GUIDANCE THAT BECOMES A PLAN โ€” Explore illustrated animal and plant profiles with source-linked care notes. Species- and life-stage suggestions become routines you can adapt. Plant soil checks can reflect pot setup, drainage, soil mix, light, location, season, and the last recorded watering. Optional weather checks prompt observation rather than guessing. Photograph an unknown plant to receive one likely match through Pl@ntNet. Sharing accuracy feedback through iCloud is optional, requires explicit consent, and submissions associated with your current iCloud account can be deleted. โ€” CARE THAT STAYS IN SYNC โ€” Plan meals where supported, build grocery lists, track supplies, and keep photos, notes, medications, symptoms, vet records, weight, and plant history together. Household roles and attributed activity show who did what, while Away Mode creates a named sitter handoff for travel. Household sharing through iCloud keeps invited carers on the same plan when iCloud is available. โ€” SAFETY & PRIVACY โ€” Find country-aware poison-response guidance and one-tap dialing to a verified hotline where available. Tendlet is not emergency care. Household care data stays on-device and, when iCloud is available, in private or shared iCloud โ€” not on a Tendlet server. No ads, no tracking or analytics SDKs, and no data sold.
