About

The Coparent App

Features
Read full description

The Coparent App is a UK co-parenting app built for separated parents who need calmer communication, stronger boundaries and organised, court-ready records. Boundary Mode™ helps reduce message bombardment by limiting each parent to three consecutive normal messages without a reply. AI Mode helps create calmer, more child-focused communication, while Quiet Mode protects your time from non-urgent notifications. COMMUNICATE WITH STRONGER BOUNDARIES • Secure co-parent messaging • Boundary Mode™ message limiting • AI-assisted message rewrites • Quiet Mode notification hours • Emergency communication • Permanent communication records BOUNDARY MODE™ : REDUCE MESSAGE BOMBARDMENT Boundary Mode™ is a distinctive feature of The Coparent App. When enabled, each parent can send up to three consecutive normal messages without receiving a reply. Once the other parent responds, the allowance resets. It creates a clear boundary around repeated unanswered messaging without blocking necessary communication. AI MODE: CALMER COMMUNICATION When emotions run high, writing calmly isn't always easy. AI Mode helps turn inflammatory communication into clearer, more child-focused wording before it is sent. QUIET MODE: PROTECT YOUR TIME Co-parenting shouldn't mean being permanently available to your former partner. Quiet Mode lets you set notification hours so non-urgent messages don't constantly interrupt work or personal time. Emergency communication can still get through. COURT READY CO-PARENTING RECORDS Keep important parenting information organised instead of scattered across texts, WhatsApp, emails and screenshots. Keep records of: • Messages • Parenting arrangements • Handovers • Expenses and receipts • Photos and documents • Calendar events • Voice and video communication Records can be exported when information needs to be shared with a solicitor, mediator or other relevant professional. BUILT FOR UK SEPARATED PARENTS The Coparent App is designed with UK separated families and difficult co-parenting communication in mind. Parents sometimes search for a “court approved co-parenting app”. There is no universal UK court approval scheme for co-parenting apps, so we don't claim one. Instead, The Coparent App provides structured, court-ready communication records. SHARED CALENDAR Keep child arrangements, pick-ups, drop-offs, calls, school events, appointments, activities and holidays together in one shared calendar. HANDOVERS, EXPENSES & DOCUMENTS Record handovers with notes and photos, log child-related expenses and receipts, and keep important parenting documents and photographs together. VOICE AND VIDEO CALLING The Coparent App includes up to 120 minutes of voice and video calling each month, keeping another part of co-parenting communication within the same structured environment. ONE FAMILY. ONE CONNECTED SPACE. A subscription connects the paired family rather than requiring each parent to maintain a separate subscription. Both parents access the shared co-parenting tools within the same connected family account. PROFESSIONAL ACCESS Parents can grant verified professionals read-only access where appropriate, making it easier to share relevant information without relying on piles of screenshots and forwarded messages. DESIGNED TO REDUCE CONFLICT, NOT JUST RECORD IT Boundary Mode™ addresses message volume. AI Mode helps address message tone. Quiet Mode helps manage when non-urgent communication interrupts your life. Together with calendars, handovers, expenses, documents and court-ready records, they provide one structured place for co-parenting after separation. The Coparent App. Calmer communication, clearer boundaries and better organised co-parenting.
