ParentShift
Read full descriptionHide full description
ParentShift is the calm way for separated and divorced parents to run life across two homes: the custody calendar, shared expenses, and your kids' moments, with one subscription that covers both parents. No per-parent fees. No courtroom vibes. Just the logistics, handled. A CUSTODY CALENDAR YOU BOTH TRUST Set up your parenting time in minutes: week on week off, every other weekend, 50/50, or your own pattern. Any change to the other parent's days needs their tap to confirm, so the schedule is never a surprise. Need to swap days? Ask with one tap; nothing moves until you both agree. Exports to Apple and Google Calendar. SHARED EXPENSES THAT SETTLE FAIRLY Snap a receipt and the details fill themselves. Track kid costs, split them 50/50 or any way you agree, and settle with a handshake: one parent marks it paid back, the other confirms it arrived. No more "we're even" arguments. SMOOTH PICKUPS AND DROPOFFS Notes that travel with the kids: mood, sleep, anything flagged for the receiving parent. Plus a live list of what's at each house (the inhaler, the cleats, the library book) so nothing gets stranded at the wrong home. YOUR KIDS' MOMENTS, KEPT A private, encrypted photo timeline for each kid: lost teeth, first goals, small Tuesdays. Every month, ParentShift turns it into a recap story for both of you. Proof that apart doesn't mean falling apart. AN ENCRYPTED KID INFO BANK Medical notes, school details, emergency contacts, sizes. Encrypted on your device before upload, readable only in the app. WORKS EVEN IF YOUR CO-PARENT WON'T JOIN Everything works solo from day one. Invite your co-parent whenever they're ready; joining is free for them. ONE PRICE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY One subscription covers both parents and all your kids. Because co-parenting is a two-person job, charging each parent separately never made sense to us. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no tracking, no data selling. Export everything or delete your account any time. ParentShift is built for amicable co-parenting and everyday two-home logistics. If you need court-admissible records for active litigation, a documentation-focused tool will fit better. Privacy Policy: https://parentshift.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://parentshift.app/terms
