TendTo

Because someone has to make sure Dad's electric bill got paid.

Bills, medications, appointments, and documents — together with the family members you trust. Built for the 64 million Americans caring for someone they love.

Seven modules. One quiet workspace.

Each feature was built around a real moment in a caregiver's week — a bill in the mail, a refill running low, a sibling asking who's driving Mom on Wednesday.

Tali — It takes a village (now you have one)

Meet Tali — the AI that's read every document you've uploaded.

Bills. Lab results. Advance directives. Pharmacy labels. Tali reads them, summarizes them, and remembers — so you can ask plain-English questions instead of digging through a binder.

Bills

A photo, a due date, an answer.

Snap any medical bill, EOB, or copay. Tali reads it, files it, and reminds you before it's due.

Medications

Refills before they run out. Interactions before they happen.

FDA-grade interaction warnings on every refill. Pharmacy label scanner gets new prescriptions in seconds.

Appointments

A shared calendar that knows who's driving Mom Wednesday.

Assign appointments to siblings, attach pre-visit notes, log what the doctor said.

Documents

A vault that reads what you upload.

EOBs, advance directives, lab results, discharge summaries. Tali extracts what matters so you can search "BP last March" and find it.

Care circle

Bring everyone in. Even the difficult brother.

Roles, permissions, and a feed that keeps everyone in sync without 47 unread messages in the family group text.

Journal

A daily log that becomes a record.

Quick notes about how Mom slept, what she ate, what changed. Searchable later — by date, by symptom, by visit. The thing you wish you'd been writing down.

Emergency packet

The 3 a.m. ER answer-key — printable, on the fridge, and one QR scan away.

Every TendTo circle generates an emergency packet that stays in sync with the latest meds, allergies, and contacts. Print it. Tape it inside the medicine cabinet. Or share it as a single QR code that EMTs, neighbors, and the babysitter can scan with any phone — no app, no login, no friction.

  • Meds, allergies, conditionsA current list of every medication, dose, and known allergy — pulled live from the circle, never stale.
  • Advance directive on handPOLST/DNR status, healthcare proxy, and a one-page legal summary surfaced first.
  • Call list in priority orderPrimary caregiver, secondary, PCP, and the on-call cardiologist — first responders see who to dial.
  • Read-only by defaultThe QR link expires automatically. Nothing about your finances or messages is ever shared.

Available on every plan, including Free.

About the founder

Mark Krieger, founder of TendTo
Built by a caregiver, not a vendor

"I built TendTo while caring for my dad. The spreadsheet I made for myself became this app — minus the 3 a.m. dread."

Mark Krieger · founder, Thoughtful Labs (NYC)

Every tier — Free, Family, Premium — gets the same baseline.

AES-256 encryption

At rest and in transit (TLS 1.3). Encryption keys are rotated and never leave our infrastructure.

SOC 2 Type II — in progress

Independent audit underway. Until then, our internal controls follow the same framework.

Row-level isolation

Every care circle lives in its own RLS lane. No co-mingling, no shared queries, no surprises.

Common questions

What caregivers ask before they sign up.

Quick answers for caregivers exploring their options.

What is the best app for managing care for an aging parent?

For families that need bills, medications, appointments, and documents in one place — with multiple people contributing — TendTo is purpose-built for this. Most alternatives solve only one slice (Medisafe for medications, Google Calendar for appointments) and require the family to glue them together.

Is TendTo free to use?

Yes. The free plan includes 1 care circle, unlimited family members, bill tracking (up to 15), a medication list, 250MB of document storage, and an appointment calendar. Paid plans start at $11.99/month annual for families that need more.

Is TendTo HIPAA-compliant?

TendTo uses AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, row-level data isolation per care circle, and audit logging. A HIPAA-compliant Business Associate Agreement is available on the Premium plan.

How is TendTo different from CareZone?

CareZone shut down in 2023. TendTo offers everything CareZone had — pharmacy label scanning, printable medication lists, refill reminders, multi-patient tracking — plus bill tracking, document vault, appointment scheduling, and an AI assistant. TendTo is actively maintained.

How is TendTo different from a shared spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets break the moment two people edit at once, don't send reminders, can't OCR a Medicare summary, and can't warn you about a dangerous drug interaction. TendTo gives you the same flexibility plus reminders, FDA-backed validation, and a full audit trail.

Does TendTo work offline?

Yes. TendTo is a Progressive Web App with a service worker and IndexedDB-backed offline queue. View and edit data offline; changes sync when you reconnect.

Does Tali use our data to train AI models?

No. Tali operates on your care circle's data to help you — it is never used to train external AI models. We don't sell data, don't aggregate it for third parties, and don't feed it back to model vendors for training.

Who built TendTo?

TendTo is built by Thoughtful Labs, LLC, based in New York City. It was founded by Mark Krieger after caring for his own father — designed by an actual family caregiver, not a healthcare IT consultant.
