Help keep threats and abuse out of co-parenting conversations. ClearPath checks messages before delivery, giving you a dedicated channel to discuss your children. Messages flagged for changes stay in a private draft for the sender to revise. AI can miss abuse or flag something incorrectly, so screening is an added layer of support, not a guarantee of safety. MESSAGE SCREENING COMES FIRST Screen for threatening, abusive and coercive language before a message reaches the conversation. Review suggested rewrites before sending. Brooke AI offers ideas for communication and everyday co-parenting challenges. Shared conversations require an accepted co-parent connection. KEEP A PRIVATE EXCHANGE RECORD Open Check In to record a pickup, drop-off or exchange on iPhone or Apple Watch. See live microphone input, mark important moments and save up to 15 minutes of audio with device-reported timestamps and available location details. Use playback controls, recording titles and private notes to review what you saved. Notes have their own timestamps and do not change the original audio. Create transcripts on iPhone when on-device speech recognition supports your language. Watch audio transfers to your paired iPhone for transcription and export. Share the original audio with a PDF summary, metadata and any available transcript. Private notes are excluded unless you include them. Transcripts may contain errors. Record only where permitted and obtain any required consent. Calls, Siri or system interruptions can stop recording. Recordings stay locally on your devices, are excluded from cloud backups and are not automatically shared with your co-parent. Export anything you need to keep before deleting ClearPath or replacing a device. Recording does not contact emergency services. PREPARE FOR HANDOVERS Create a private checklist for bags, activity kits and essentials. Tick what is ready and reset it for next time. Optional Apple Watch sharing keeps a paired copy, with connected updates confirmed on iPhone. Use six editable message templates for pickups, schedules, school, costs, belongings and acknowledgements. Checklists and templates are free after account setup. MESSAGE FROM APPLE WATCH Read recent screened messages and review a short reply through your reachable, signed-in iPhone. Enable message sharing in Settings > Apple Watch. Every send uses the same screening and Access checks. ORGANIZE YOUR PARENTING DAY Plan custody schedules and shared calendar events. Record shared expenses, proposed splits and receipts. Keep children's information and documents together, save location check-ins and export selected records to PDF. Optional reminders help you prepare for handovers and weekly planning. CLEARPATH ACCESS Choose monthly or annual auto-renewing subscriptions for paid features, including custody schedules, co-parent conversations, shared expenses, documents and Brooke AI. See included features, remaining free uses and local prices before purchasing. A seven-day introductory trial is available only when Apple confirms eligibility. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm a purchase or when an eligible trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in Apple Account settings. Any unused free-trial portion is forfeited when purchasing a subscription, where applicable. Connecting your co-parent does not itself grant paid access or Apple Family Sharing. AI suggestions and screening can make mistakes. ClearPath is not legal, medical, therapeutic or emergency advice. Review records and transcripts against their originals and use your own judgment.

You wrote it on your hardest day. You read it from the other side. Or you wrote it on the day everything felt possible again. Both belong here. FutureNote is a time capsule for what you actually feel today. Write it down. Choose a mood. Photograph the place you are sitting — not your face, but the desk, the window, the room. Then seal the letter: seven days, a month, a year, ten years. Sealed means sealed. Nobody opens it early. Not us, not you. There is no button that changes that and no price that unlocks it. On average, people tap a sealed letter six times before the day arrives. On the day you chose, it comes back. First the photo, for three seconds. Then your words, line by line. And then you write back — to the person you were. Tell them what happened. Whether the fear came true. Whether the hope was right. And seal it again. Month after month, year after year, a conversation with yourself grows. WHY IT WORKS Your memory keeps the facts but loses the feeling. Within weeks, the texture of a hard day softens into a vague summary, and the evidence of your own growth disappears with it. FutureNote captures the feeling before it fades and returns it when you are ready to read it. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Seal a letter for a week, a month, a season, a year, or a decade • Add a photo of where you were — the room, the desk, the window • Choose the mood you are writing in, and see how it shifts over time • Organize letters into chapters and watch a timeline of yourself build • Get a notification the moment a letter is ready to open • Write a reply to who you were, and seal it again YOUR LETTERS ARE YOURS Your letters are encrypted and belong only to you. They are not read, not sold, and never used to train anything. Write the first one today. Meet yourself later.
