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.

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.
