Two homes. One shared plan. DuetNest helps co-parents keep a child’s schedule, shared expenses and everyday decisions together. Create a family space and invite the other parent. Plan events and handovers, save useful details with each plan, and find messages and shared records without searching through separate conversations. • Plan the week together: events, school runs and handovers. • Save important dates and edit one event or upcoming repeats. • Review pickup and dropoff proposals in My Week. • Record shared expenses, receipts and balances. • Keep messages, decisions and checklists together; choose which diary notes to share. Keep personal finances separate from shared family expenses. Record personal income and expenses. Import XLS or XLSX statements, review detected rows before saving, compare spending by category and with the corresponding period in the previous month, and open the entries behind each insight. You choose which personal expense to copy into the shared family space. Personal finance entries stay private unless you choose to share them. Optional Premium features add more ways to organize and export your records. One Premium subscription covers the shared family space; the invited parent does not need a second subscription. This is DuetNest family-space access, not Apple Family Sharing. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled through your App Store account before renewal. Plans, billing periods and local prices are shown before purchase. In DuetNest, open Settings → Premium to restore purchases or manage your subscription.
