Calm communication with your ex. A clear custody schedule. Shared expenses without arguments. BeNice is the co-parenting app for separated and divorced parents in the Netherlands and Belgium, so WhatsApp is for friends and family again. WHY PARENTS CHOOSE BENICE - Protection on both sides: the Feedback Coach helps you write calmly, the Filter keeps emotions, blame and insults from your ex-partner out of your inbox. - Works even if the other parent does not join: with Solo mode your ex receives your messages by email, while you use BeNice with the Filter. - For every kind of parenting after divorce: co-parenting, parallel parenting, solo parenting or a blended family. - A Dutch company focused on privacy and safety: we cannot read your messages, we do not sell your data, and we work under the GDPR. SOUND FAMILIAR? - A message from the other parent hits hard and your evening is ruined. - You sometimes reply more sharply than you want to, and regret it later. - You lose track of handovers, appointments and belongings. - You no longer know who paid what for the children. - The other parent refuses to use any app at all. That is why BeNice exists: calm coordination and a clear plan for separated parents. CALM COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR EX - The Feedback Coach reads along before you send and helps you make a message calmer and clearer. - The Filter protects you as the receiver: blame and harsh words are removed, the facts remain. - The Cooldown protects you both against flooding, nagging or repetition. - So contact with your ex-partner stays short and businesslike, even in a high-conflict divorce. CUSTODY SCHEDULE AND SHARED CALENDAR - The custody schedule shows in color where the children are: weekly, every other week or any rhythm that fits your parenting arrangement or care plan. - School holidays and public holidays for the Netherlands and Belgium are imported automatically, with a preferred parent per date, so you see at once what needs arranging. - Want to swap days or change the schedule? Send a swap request with where, what time and who drops off and picks up. Once accepted, it is in the shared calendar right away. EXPENSES: WHO PAYS WHAT - Scan a receipt, Expenses fills in the details and applies your split. - You see who paid what and what still needs settling. Share the costs of the children without discussion. SOLO MODE - You use BeNice, the other parent receives and answers your messages by email. - The Filter and the Feedback Coach keep working for you. BENICE COACH - Always available for a quick check-in about your child, your ex-partner or a difficult moment. - Focused on separation, parenting after divorce and blended families. AND MORE - Shared information: clothing sizes, addresses, phone numbers and documents in one place. - A shared photo album, so you stay involved when the children are with the other parent. - A first draft of your parenting plan (ouderschapsplan), which you finalize with a mediator or lawyer. DUTCH, ENGLISH AND FRENCH BeNice is made in the Netherlands and available in Dutch, English and French, with Dutch and Belgian holidays built in. WITH YOUR MEDIATOR OR LAWYER Working with a mediator, family lawyer or other professional? Invite them yourself, or accept the invitation from your professional (BeNice for Professionals). They can only follow along if you both agree. WHO IT IS FOR BeNice is the co-parenting app for the parent who wants to do this well, for parents who want to do it together, and for the parent who needs to protect themselves. For co-parenting, shared parenting, parallel parenting and solo parenting. PRIVACY We work under the GDPR and process your data in Europe wherever possible. Nobody at BeNice can read your messages.

Chlikk is a custody and co-parenting app for separated and divorced parents, built in the UK and used by parents in more than 30 countries. Secure messaging, a shared calendar, expense tracking and court ready records in one place, with one subscription covering both parents. Free plan available. We built Chlikk because we've been through separation ourselves. We know what it's like when every message feels like a battle, when arrangements fall apart at the last minute, and when children end up caught in the middle. We built it so other families don't have to go through it the way we did. ONE SUBSCRIPTION COVERS BOTH PARENTS Link with your child's other parent and you both get the same plan automatically. No paying twice, and no one parent controlling what the other can see or use. SAFEGUARDING, BUILT IN CoGuard™ checks your messages against your uploaded court order, protective order or agreed parenting plan before you send, and warns you if your wording could breach them. CoBreather™ Pro spots heated messages and suggests calmer, child focused rewrites. You always choose what to send. EVERYTHING RECORDED Messages are timestamped and can't be deleted by either parent. Log overnight stays, missed arrangements and late pickups. Track child costs and who paid. Export PDF or Excel reports for attorneys, mediators and family court. SHARED CALENDAR School events, parenting time, holidays and pickups in one calendar both parents can see. CALLS Audio and video calls inside the app, with optional call recording on Pro. PLANS Free: secure messaging, shared calendar, one emergency audio call every 24 hours and email support. Plus: adds expense tracking, overnight logging, custom reports, audio and video calls and 1GB of uploads. Pro: adds CoGuard™, CoBreather™ Pro, optional call recording, court ready PDF and Excel reports, expense insights, extra storage with up to 20 documents read by CoGuard™, and same day support.
