Co-parenting is hard enough without juggling texts, emails, and mismatched calendars. CustodySync gives both parents a single source of truth for custody schedules, so everyone knows where kids are supposed to be, and when. Why CustodySync? Most custody tools are complicated or built for legal documentation, not day-to-day parenting. CustodySync is designed for real families who just want scheduling to work. What you can do: • Share a single custody calendar both parents can trust • Request schedule changes with clear approval workflows • See approved, pending, and past changes at a glance • Reduce miscommunication and last-minute surprises • Keep everything simple, calm, and transparent Built by a parent, for parents CustodySync was created by a dad who got tired of missed updates and constant follow-ups. The goal is simple: help parents stay aligned so kids come first. No legal jargon. No clutter. Just clarity.
