Get organized — even if your co-parent won't. ParentBridge keeps custody schedules, expenses, kids' health and school records, and communication in one calm, organized place. Unlike other co-parenting apps, it works even if your co-parent never installs an app: they stay in the loop by text message or email. WORKS WITHOUT THE OTHER PARENT • Share updates your co-parent receives as a text or email — no app needed on their side • Their email replies land right back in your chat • Delivery is tracked, so you know what reached them CUSTODY CALENDAR • Set your pattern once — alternating weeks, 2-2-3, holidays, school breaks • See whose day it is at a glance; request swaps with a tap • Handoff reminders with the exact exchange time VERIFIED HANDOFFS • Confirm each exchange with a timestamp — add location proof if you choose • Location is captured once, only when you tap, never in the background SHARED EXPENSES • Log expenses with receipt photos and your split ratio • Track reimbursements to settled — with payment confirmation KIDS' HEALTH & SCHOOL • Medications, allergies, providers, appointments, school contacts • Both homes see the same, current information CALMER MESSAGING • Private, encrypted messaging built for co-parenting • Calm View can rephrase a heated incoming message on your request COURT-READY RECORDS • Export expenses, messages, custody history, and verified handoffs as organized documents FREE TO START ParentBridge is free: custody calendar, messaging, expenses, health and school records, and 25 relay updates per month. ParentBridge Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription ($9.99/month; price may vary by region).
