Custody tracker for solo parents. Log who had the kids, save receipts, and keep a private record you can hand to a lawyer if it ever comes to that. Built by a single dad — works on its own, no co-parent invite needed. Whether you're navigating shared custody, separation, or single parenting on your own, SoloFamily quietly tracks the hours, expenses, and moments that matter. No accounts. No invites. No cloud-shared data. Just you and your phone. THE DAILY LOG • Time with the kids — start, end, all-day, who was on, who dropped off and who picked up, overnight stays. • Events — doctor visits, school runs, activities, milestones. Attach photos and notes. • Expenses — what you bought, who paid, receipts you can keep. Attach a photo of the receipt. • Daily flags — "Took to school", "Homework done", "Read before bed" — yes/no toggles you define. • Bedtime — tap to stamp when they went to sleep. SEE THE PATTERN • A monthly split showing who had the kids and for how long. • Pebble-garden calendar that colour-codes every day at a glance. • Time-split bars adapt to week, month, year, or a custom range. • Weeks-in-April style breakdowns so you see the shape of the month. • Filter everything to a single kid. MADE WITH CARE • Four colour moods (Storybook / Fieldbook / Glacier / Journal) plus your own custom picks. • Two copy tones (Storybook / Neutral) so the app reads warm or plain, your choice. • Dark-mode plum background throughout; no adverts, no accounts, no tracking. • Full Dynamic Type + VoiceOver + Reduce Motion + Reduce Transparency support. • Today and Last-7-Days widgets that deep-link to the right tab. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your log lives on your device. No servers, no accounts, no sign-ups. • Face ID / Touch ID app lock (Pro) so the record stays private even if the phone is shared. • Every Pro feature above runs entirely on your device — even the receipt OCR uses Apple's on-device text recognition. Nothing leaves your iPhone. SOLOFAMILY PRO Monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Unlocks: • Trips — log a trip once, with its dates and who had the kids, and it fills the whole stay onto your calendar. Destination, transport, notes and photos in one place, with what the trip cost. • iCloud sync — your journal on your iPhone and iPad, through your own private iCloud account. • Monthly PDF — a beautifully formatted document with your notes, photos and receipts. For yourself, a co-parent, or legal use if it ever matters. • CSV export — open your log in Numbers, Excel, or hand it off to a lawyer. • Face ID / Touch ID app lock — keep the record private, even if the phone is shared. • Daily reminder — a nightly nudge so you don't forget to log the day. • Receipt OCR — snap a receipt, the amount and date auto-fill, on-device. • Siri & Shortcuts — "Log time with the kids" or "Log an expense" from Siri or any automation. The free tier stays generous forever: unlimited entries, every calendar and chart, widgets and notes. Pro is for when you need the record to go out into the world. Built for parents who carry a lot.
