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. AWARDS AND MEDIA Most Innovative Co-Parenting App 2026, UK Enterprise Awards. Digital Co-parenting Platform of the Year – UK, Corporate LiveWire Global Awards 2026/27. Leading Co-Parenting Support & Communication App – UK 2026, Diamond Distinction Awards.

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.
