Kidtime is a custody calendar that turns your parenting time into a record you can actually use. Use Kidtime on your own to keep your parenting records, or invite your coparent to coordinate together. WHEN IT'S YOUR WORD AGAINST THEIRS Keep a dated record of handoffs, notes and schedule changes. When you need to show what actually happened — to your attorney, a mediator, or a judge — it's one tap, not a year of screenshots. WHAT'S FREE • Custody calendar for the current month • Unlimited swaps and hand-offs • Notes and photos on any day • Messaging built for co-parents • Expense logging with receipts • Shared file vault for the plan, the order, the school forms WHAT PREMIUM ADDS • Court-ready PDF exports — timestamped: who had the kids, when, and what changed • Attorney access — a secure, view-only link to your records, hidden from your co-parent • Parenting time analytics — scheduled vs actual, by day, month and overnight • The full calendar — every past and future month, not just this one • Holidays and traditions that alternate by year, carried forward for you • Recorded calls — call your co-parent in the app, recorded and transcribed automatically • Tone Meter — scan a message before you send it, and rewrite it if it reads worse than you meant • Search across your notes and message history • Expense analytics BUILT FOR THE SITUATION YOU'RE IN Working with an attorney, heading into mediation, or holding a court-ordered schedule — Kidtime keeps the record you'll be asked for. Start from a standard pattern (50/50, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, week-on week-off, every other weekend) or build your own, set the holidays that matter, and it fills the calendar forward. TWO WAYS TO USE IT On your own — your calendar, notes, analytics and exports all work whether or not your co-parent ever signs up. Together — invite them and you share one schedule, one thread, one record. They can join on the free tier, so cost is never the reason they don't. BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES Multiple children, blended households, alternating holidays, and schedules that don't fit a template. "I built Kidtime as a co-parent, for families like mine. Hearing from other co-parents about how much it has helped them is the reason I keep building it." — Vince, Founder Questions? hello@kidtime.app Terms of Use: https://kidtime.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://kidtime.app/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Kidtime Coparenting Calendar at 26% against Text Message Export's 10%. Kidtime Coparenting Calendar also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days) and ratings volume (444 vs 91). Text Message Export's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3).

Both are free to download. Kidtime Coparenting Calendar sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Text Message Export sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Text Message Export holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 444 and 91 respectively.
