## What is Co?

Free to organize. One subscription to connect.
Encrypted end to end. Only the two of you can read it.

Co-oper8 is the private way for separated parents to run a shared custody schedule. Set your parenting split once, and both calendars stay in step — each parent sees the schedule from their own perspective.

ORGANIZE — FREE, FOREVER
• Your custody calendar with your parenting split (7-7, 9-5, whatever works)
• Change your start date up to 3 times free; adjust the split anytime
• Pick individual days by hand (5 included)
• Your schedule history — look back at past arrangements, faded on the calendar as a "ghost" of what was

CONNECT — ONE FAMILY PLAN UNLOCKS BOTH PARENTS
• Propose your schedule to your co-parent; it applies only when they accept
• Agreed pick-up and drop-off times — partial days show as half-circles, so a school-pickup Wednesday looks different from an all-day Wednesday
• One Family purchase unlocks Co-oper8 for both paired parents — or choose an Individual plan for your own device
• Pairing, messaging, accepting and exports are always free

NEW — SOFT SEND, A CALMER WORD WHEN IT COUNTS
• Writing while upset? If a draft might land hotter than you mean it, Co-oper8 gently checks with you before sending
• On iPhones and iPads with Apple Intelligence, it can suggest a calmer wording that keeps your point
• Everything runs on your device — your messages are never read by us or anyone else. It never blocks you, keeps no record, and stays off until you turn it on
• Tone sensing currently works best in English and French

YOUR EXPENSE RECORD — FREE, PRIVATE, PERMANENT
• Log child expenses in seconds; tag a child; attach a receipt photo
• Both parents see the same list — encrypted end to end
• Corrections and withdrawals stay visible: nothing can be quietly edited or deleted, by either parent
• Personal entries never leave your device
• Free PDF export of the full record, identical for both parents
• One agreed currency, never converted — and dates that read the same in any timezone

MANAGE THE MONEY SIDE (SUBSCRIPTION)
• Agree split ratios together — changes only apply going forward
• Agree a new ledger currency together when life moves you
• A calm note-and-response flow for an unpaid share; no running debts
• Seeing everything and responding to your co-parent is always free
• Co-oper8 never moves money — it keeps the record; you settle things your way

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Messages and schedules are end-to-end encrypted on your devices — no one else can read them. Not even us.
• Verified pairing: Settings shows "Paired" once both devices provably share the same secure key
• Messages can't be edited or deleted once sent — the conversation stays a reliable record for both of you
• Export matching PDF transcripts and schedule-history reports anytime, free

AND WHEN YOU NEED A HUMAN
• Book time with a mediator directly from the app — some things need a conversation, not an algorithm

Co-oper8 speaks nine languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish (Spain & Latin America), Dutch, and Portuguese (Portugal & Brazil).

Co-oper8 plans are available as auto-renewable subscriptions (monthly or yearly) or a one-time lifetime purchase, in Individual (your device) and Family (both paired parents) tiers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase; subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Apple Account settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.0 — 2026-08-14

Co-oper8 4.0 brings the Expense Log — an honest, private record of what you spend on your children.

• LOG IN SECONDS: amount and title are enough. Tag a child, add a note or a receipt photo. Both parents see the same list, encrypted end to end — readable by the two of you, and no one else.

• NOTHING CAN BE BURIED: the record is permanent by design. Expenses can be corrected or withdrawn, but every step stays visible — neither parent can quietly edit or delete history. Export the full record as a free PDF, dispute trails included, identical for both parents.

• PERSONAL STAYS PERSONAL: entries marked Personal never leave your phone.

• ONE CURRENCY, HONESTLY: the record adds up in the one currency you both agree on — and nothing is ever converted. An entry in another currency stays exactly as it was entered. And an expense dated August 9th reads August 9th on both phones, in any timezone.

• MANAGE MONEY CALMLY (subscription): agree split ratios together, propose a different split for a single expense, agree a new ledger currency when life moves you, and sort out an unpaid share with a quiet note-and-response flow — no running debts, no pressure. Seeing everything, responding, and closing your own claim always stay free. Co-oper8 never moves money.

• Plus: a new "Tracking child expenses" tutorial in all nine languages, a clearer expense detail view, and small fixes throughout.

### 3.1 — 2026-08-08

Co-oper8 3.1 is about saying things well — in more ways than one.

• SOFT SEND (optional): writing a message while upset? If a draft might land hotter than you mean it, Co-oper8 gently checks with you before sending — and on devices with Apple Intelligence it can suggest a calmer wording that keeps your point. Everything runs on your phone: your messages are never read by us or anyone else, it never blocks you, and it's off until you turn it on. Tone sensing currently works best in English and French.
• FAMILY PLAN: one purchase now unlocks Co-oper8 for both paired parents — shared securely over the same end-to-end encrypted channel as everything else. Prefer separate finances? Individual plans (this device only) are available too — monthly, yearly, or one-time lifetime.
• NINE LANGUAGES: Co-oper8 now speaks English, French, German, Italian, Spanish (Spain & Latin America), Dutch, and Portuguese (Portugal & Brazil).
• Now available across the European Union.
• Plus: clearer subscription status, an easy upgrade path from Individual to Family, and many small fixes.

### 3.0 — 2026-07-21

Version 3.0 is our biggest update yet:

• Private messaging — end-to-end encrypted; messages can't be edited or deleted, and you can export a matching PDF transcript anytime
• Verified pairing — Settings now shows "Paired" when both devices provably share the same key, or a clear warning when codes don't match
• Handover times — agreed pick-up and drop-off times, with partial days shown as half-circles on the calendar
• Schedule history — scroll back in time and see past arrangements as a faded "ghost"; export the full change history as a PDF
• New Help & Tutorials section, a fresh app icon and look
• Fairer free tier — pairing and messaging are free, plus 3 free start date changes

### 2.0 — 2026-06-21

Co-oper8 Version 2.0 — Co-parenting, together.

A major update built for two. Co-oper8 is no longer a solo schedule planner — it's a shared one.

Sharing, the way it should be
• Pair once with your co-parent using a one-time 12-digit code, shared however you like (text, email, in person).
• From then on, tap "Share with Co-parent" any time you want to propose a change.
• Your co-parent gets a clear alert: Accept, Reject, or decide Later from the new Schedule History.

Schedule History
• Every proposal and decision is logged in chronological order.
• Quickly see what's been agreed, what's pending, and what was rejected.
• Re-propose a past schedule with one tap.

Privacy first
• End-to-end encryption with Apple CryptoKit (AES-GCM).
• Your schedule is encrypted on your device before it's sent. Apple's servers — and we — only ever see opaque ciphertext.
• The encryption key is derived from your pairing code and stored in iCloud Keychain. It never leaves your devices.

Other improvements
• Re-pair option in Settings if you ever need to start over.
• Refreshed onboarding to walk you through the new flow.
• Polish and stability throughout.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-04-15

The new look layout will feel much cleaner and the navigation flow is simpler.
