Who it’s for / Your home
For the things you keep opening the camera app to check.
Did the package get brought in? Are the kids home? Did the walker come? Is the garage shut? Write each one once. Tendline looks at the right moment and only tells you when something’s off.

Three routines on the free plan: the dog walker, kids home by 4, and the garage at 10. Two heads-ups all day: the walker at 2:00 PM and the garage at 10:00 PM. Everything else stayed quiet.
Routines people write for home
Start with the three that would save you the most glances at your phone. Each one practices for a week before it alerts anyone.
-
“Tell me if a package sits outside more than 2 hours.”
Too longFront camera, any day
What you’d hear“A package has been on the porch for 2 hours. UPS left it at 2:26 PM.”
-
“Kids home by 4 on school days.”
Should happenFront camera, 2:30 to 4:00 PM
What you’d hear“No kids seen coming home by 4:00 PM. The front camera could see the whole afternoon.”
-
“Dog walker between 12 and 2 on weekdays.”
Should happenFront and side cameras
What you’d hear“Dog walker not seen, 12 to 2. Both cameras could see the whole window.”
-
“At 10 PM, make sure the garage is closed. Keep checking every 30 minutes.”

What you’d hear“Garage open at 10:00 PM. Looking again at 10:30.”

Quiet unless it matters.
Tendline doesn’t send you every person who walks past. It only speaks when one of your routines isn’t met, and every message says whether the camera could actually see.
Coverage watch comes free: if a camera goes offline, goes silent, or is too dark to read at the times your routines need it, you hear about that too, once.
Renting? Tendline doesn’t need anything installed. It works from the cameras you already have: by upload or push URL from early access, and through Ring once that support is ready.

It’s been there 2 hours. A courier in a brown uniform left it at 2:26 PM.
The front camera could see the porch the whole time.
