About Tend
We build reliable tools for the people who care for growing things.
It Started with a Question
We were watering on schedules, following generic advice, and still watching plants struggle. The surface looked dry, but below? No idea. By the time we noticed root rot, it was too late.
That's when we asked: What if there was a simple, honest way to know what the soil actually needed?
Not an app with a dashboard. Not a gadget with blinking lights. Just a reliable instrument that reads the soil at root depth and tells you plainly what's happening.
Building Something That Lasts
We built FieldBonnet — a WiFi-connected capacitive soil moisture sensor with 26 plant profiles, email notifications, and a setup wizard that works from any phone without an app.
But FieldBonnet is just the first tool. Tend is a company built around a simple idea: the people who care for growing things deserve instruments that are as honest and reliable as the work they do.
No trends. No gimmicks. Just well-made tools that earn trust through use.
What Tend Stands For
Honesty
Our tools tell you what's actually happening. No inflated claims, no unnecessary complexity. Clear information you can act on.
Durability
Quality materials, corrosion-resistant sensing, long battery life. Built to work reliably season after season.
Insight, Not Noise
We don't overwhelm you with data. We give you the information you need, when you need it, and nothing more.
Calm
Care should feel grounding, not stressful. Our tools stay in the background and speak up only when it matters.
Our Mission
Tend exists to serve the people who care for growing things — whether that's a single potted plant on a windowsill, a backyard vegetable garden, or acres of managed land.
We believe the best tools are the ones you forget about until they quietly let you know something needs attention. They don't demand your time. They earn your trust by being consistently right and unfailingly reliable.
Everything we build starts with a question: Does this actually help someone take better care of what they're growing? If the answer isn't clearly yes, we don't build it.
