Pilot program now enrolling — a small number of homes this fall. Ask about a place →
An operating system for homes that care for themselves.
One local-first brain — no cloud, no cameras, no wearables — with two callings: the people you love, and the places you love.
TEND · AGING IN PLACE
The home tends. It does not watch.
A few calm sentences each morning that replace a caregiver's anxiety with relief — drawn from presence, never from cameras.

DWELL · SECOND HOMES & RENTALS
Vacant becomes vigilant.
An empty house that checks its own doors, greets your guests by name, and tells you the one thing worth knowing.

TEND
Relief, delivered every morning.
Adult children caring for a parent at a distance don't need a dashboard — they need to know the morning started, as usual. Tend reads the rhythm of the house itself and writes it down.
No cameras. No wearables. No exceptions.
Dignity by architecture: presence is sensed at the level of rooms, never persons. Nothing to point, nothing to charge, nothing to wear.
The Morning Note, by 8 am.
Two to four sentences in the house's own voice, written locally, kept like a bound journal. It speaks in language, not charts.
Attention is rare — and specific.
"Water sensed under the kitchen sink, 2 minutes ago." What, where, when, and two actions. Never a siren, never a guess.
TUESDAY · JULY 7
Good morning. The house was settled through the night, and the Kitchen woke at 7:42 — right on time. An ordinary Tuesday for Mom, unfolding on schedule.
— the house
The Morning Note — the artifact the product is built around.
SEABRIGHT · SATURDAY, 4:02 PM
Welcome, Priya.
The house is warm for you.

GUEST MODE · PRESENCE PAUSED FOR THE STAY
The house greets guests itself — on the TV, at check-in.
DWELL
Confidence at a distance.
A second home is Away most of its life. Dwell makes Away a state worth looking at — and turns the days around a reservation into work the house does itself.
11:00
Checkout confirmed, housekeeping notified — the turnover checklist runs from your reservation calendar, via Hostaway.
4:00
Guests are greeted by name, the door code is theirs alone, and the family's presence history goes dark for the length of the stay.
10:00
Every night, empty or not: doors check, humidity logged, leak sensors heard. One weekly sentence — unless something needs you now.
HOW IT WORKS
One brain, four lenses.
A small computer in the hall closet runs everything — the sensing, the learning, the writing. Your Apple devices are just windows onto it.
iPhone — the Command Center
The Morning Note, your rooms, the house's proposals, and every permission — the one place you manage anything.
iPad — the Console
It becomes whoever needs it: the installer's calibration bench, the manager's operations desk, the guest's house guide.
Apple TV — the Ambient Window
The home as a horizon of light — closer to a fireplace than an app. One glance answers "is everything as it should be?"
Apple Watch — the Pulse
Silent by design. It speaks only for the rare Attention moment — and hands you the one action that matters: "Call Mom."
PRIVACY
Privacy you can point at.
Most products claim privacy in a policy. Tend Home builds it into the architecture and then shows you the receipt: every home ships with a Privacy Seal — a certificate of what the house senses, what it never senses, and where the thinking happens.
Where summaries are writtenOn the computer in your closet — never a cloud
What the house sensesRooms, doors, water, warmth — never persons
What leaves the houseOnly the notes you choose to send, over an encrypted tunnel
Your dataExport it or erase it, room by room, any time
PRIVACY SEAL
Processed in-home only
This home's presence data and daily notes are generated and stored on hardware inside the home. Remote reading happens over an end-to-end encrypted tunnel.
ISSUED AT INSTALLATION · PART OF THE HOME PASSPORT
A small number of homes, this fall.
Every pilot home is installed white-glove: a professional visit, rooms named in your own words, and the Home Passport in your hand before we leave.

Tend Dwell Privacy Seal Pilots
FOR PRODUCTION — MEDIA TO SHOOT (drag finished photos onto the M1–M5 slots above)
M1 · Hero band — dawn over a quiet residential street, one kitchen window lit. Wide, 3:1. Cool early sky, single warm light source.
M2 · Tend chapter — a kitchen table in low morning light: steam off a mug, reading glasses, folded newspaper. No faces. 3:1.
M3 · Dwell chapter — a coastal/lake house at dusk from outside, a single window glowing. 3:1, deep dusk tones.
M4 · How it works — the "brain": a small computer on a hall-closet shelf, installer's hands connecting it. Honest, unglamorous. 16:9.
M5 · How it works — a living room at night, the TV showing the horizon composition (composite the UI from turn 3a in the explorations). 16:9.
Direction for all: natural low warm light (dawn/dusk/tungsten), saturation pulled down, real homes not staged sets, hands and environments — never faces, never floating-device mockups.
