a gentle place to grieve

Losing someone you love is a real loss. What you’re feeling is real too.

Tending is a private companion for grief. It meets you where you are, guides you gently at your own pace, and keeps everything you write on your phone.

Coming to iPhone and Android, late November 2026
For ages 16 and over.

What kind of loss are you navigating?

Tending is being built one kind of loss at a time, carefully.

We’re working closely with people who understand these kinds of loss to build them properly. If you know someone going through one, telling them Tending exists helps us build it sooner.

How Tending helps

It starts where you are

Choose what fits: a decision to put your pet to sleep, a sudden loss, a death after illness or old age, or a loss you can see coming. Each path is written for that experience.

It stays on your phone

What you write never leaves your device. No account, no email, and no server holding your words. You can export or delete everything whenever you choose.

Help is one tap away

A quiet Need support button sits on every screen, with grounding exercises, a safety plan you write yourself, and crisis lines when things feel too heavy.

Free to begin. One unlock, never a subscription.

Start for free. A single purchase of USD 9.99 unlocks the rest of the guided path, handled by Apple or Google. Need support, your safety plan and your memory space are always free.
