A new breed of co-parenting app. There's one thing you'll always agree on: you both love your kids. Clearly takes on the hard parts of co-parenting, so you can both focus on them. Thoughtful AI keeps every exchange calm and kind. Gentle prompts help stalled conversations find their way forward. And when you agree, Clearly puts it in writing, so it's settled, for both of you. CALM, BEFORE YOU SEND Say what you mean, without the heat. Clearly reads the tone of every post before your co-parent sees it, and when a message could land hard, it offers calmer words, ready to use as they are or make your own. It never takes sides. It just helps you be heard. FROM BACK-AND-FORTH TO DONE Ask a quick question and get a one-tap answer. Share an update with a simple OK. And when the two of you agree, Clearly writes it up in plain words you each accept. No more "that's not what we said." NEVER STUCK FOR LONG Some conversations stall. Some go in circles. Clearly notices, and shows you where things stand: what's settled, what's still open, and a friendly next step. When you genuinely see it differently, it suggests a fair middle ground. And a quiet topic doesn't hang over you forever: a gentle countdown lets you know before it closes. EVERYTHING, ON THE RECORD Every topic, every agreement, every exchange, dated and kept exactly as written. Photos stay with the conversation. Ask Clearly in plain words, like "What did we decide about bedtime?", and get the answer in seconds. Export it all as a PDF, anytime. ONE CALENDAR. BOTH HOMES. Your custody schedule, holidays and summer, together at last. Request a swap in a tap. Add events for both of you, or bring it all into the calendar app you already use. SHARED COSTS, WITHOUT THE AWKWARD Snap the receipt, and Clearly splits it the way your plan says. See who owes what at a glance, pay with Venmo, Cash App or PayPal, and mark it done. THE BASICS, ALWAYS AT HAND Your parenting plan, the kids' details and the contacts that matter, shared with your co-parent and always up to date. SEE IT FOR YOURSELF Explore the full demo, no account needed. Then start your 14-day free trial. One subscription covers you and your co-parent: $24.99 a month or $249 a year. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
