RELAY - Co-Parenting Across Two Households Your parenting plan becomes a color-coded calendar both parents can actually read. Shared expenses carry receipts and settle without arguments. Every custody exchange logs in one tap. Conflict Mode means you get only as much app as you need - a shared calendar if things are fine, a full documented record if they are not, and a nudge to dial it back down when things improve. Divorce takes a year. Co-parenting takes eighteen. Relay is built for the eighteen. YOUR CUSTODY CALENDAR Your parenting plan rendered as a color-coded calendar both parents can read at a glance. Week-on/week-off, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, every-other-weekend, and custom patterns. Exchange times, holiday rules, school breaks - all visible. Most co-parenting conflicts start as genuine confusion, not bad faith. EXCHANGE LOG - ONE TAP Every handoff logged in one tap: on time, late, or did not happen. If late, log the actual time - the app calculates the delay, not you. Notes field for facts, not feelings. If a pattern ever forms, you have dates instead of memories. SHARED EXPENSE LEDGER Every shared child expense carries a receipt and a timestamp. "You never pay me back" and "you never told me about it" both dissolve the moment there is a shared ledger with photos. Free: 10 expenses per month. Pro: unlimited entries with receipt photos. CONFLICT MODE Standard - shared calendar and ledger for parents who mostly get along. Structured - adds exchange logging and communication log for strained situations. Documented - full timestamps, export packs, adherence reporting for court-involved cases. The nudge to dial down a mode when things improve may be the best notification in the app. PREMIUM FEATURES - Unlimited expense entries with receipt photos - 12-month exchange adherence summaries - Communication log (BIFF-formatted, court-ready) - Annual overnight percentage tracking - Document vault for parenting plan PDFs - PDF export pack for mediators and attorneys - AI Co-Parent Guide powered by Grok - Structured and Documented conflict modes PRIVACY BY DESIGN Shared surfaces - calendar, expenses, child events - sync between both parents via iCloud. Exchange notes, communication log, and personal notes stay private. Every screen tells you which is which. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
