Halloween only
How it works
Hatch an egg
Pick what you’d like help with: meds, water, sleep, fresh air or a little movement. Looking after yourself keeps the egg warm until it hatches.
Look after yourself
Your Tendlet reminds you in its own little voice, and gets happier with every glass of water, every dose and every early night.
Watch them thrive
Earn treasures and sparkles, dress them up and decorate their room. After about 50 days they retire somewhere lovely, and a new egg arrives.
Little things that help
Reminders from a friend
Nudges in your pet’s voice, not a nagging alarm. If you’ve already done it, they stay quiet.
All your meds, all your times
Morning, lunchtime and evening doses, each ticked off on its own.
A calm corner
Breathe, stretch, a five-senses moment or a gratitude jar, side by side with your pet.
Sparkles to spend
Earn sparkles for every bit of care and spend them on outfits, furniture and wallpaper.
Habitats to visit
Retired pets live on at the beach, the forest, a flower meadow and more. Give your phone a shake for a surprise.
Silly surprises
Meteors, aliens and seasonal treats. The right treasure keeps your pet safe.
Seasonal surprises
Halloween brings witch hats, vampire capes, pumpkin pails and a very special egg. Keep an eye out for more treats through the year.
Made with love
Tendlets started as a gift for someone who kept forgetting her meds. Now it’s for anyone who could use a gentle nudge, and a lot of cheering on.
Questions
Is Tendlets free?
Yes. Everything in Tendlets can be earned by looking after yourself. If you’d like to, you can top up your sparkles, but you never need to.
Is it a medical app?
No. Tendlets is a friendly nudge, not medical advice. Keep following your doctor’s or pharmacist’s guidance, and don’t rely on any app alone for important medication.
What if I get a new phone?
Sign in to an account and Tendlets backs itself up as you play: on your new phone, sign in again and everything comes back. Or, with no account, send yourself a backup code from the Me tab.
What if I miss a day?
Your pet gets a little sad, but they’re very forgiving. Tomorrow is a fresh start.
Where does my information go?
Without an account, it stays on your phone. If you choose to make one, your backup is stored securely in the UK, only so you can restore it. No ads, no tracking. Read our privacy policy.
