You know something is wrong with the message you just received. You just can't prove it, name it, or figure out how to respond without making things worse. CoParent Shield is a private AI coaching app built for parents navigating high-conflict co-parenting situations. It helps you understand what's happening in every message, respond without escalating, and build the documentation record your attorney actually needs. UNDERSTAND WHAT'S REALLY BEING SAID Paste in a message. CoParent Shield analyzes it and names the tactic being used — DARVO, gaslighting, guilt-tripping, JADE, triangulation, reactive abuse bait, coercive control — in plain language, with an explanation of why it works and what it's designed to make you do. RESPOND WITHOUT LOSING GROUND The app suggests BIFF-aligned responses — Brief, Informative, Friendly, Firm — the de-escalation method family law attorneys and high-conflict specialists recommend. You get 2-3 options to send or adapt. No more drafting alone while dysregulated. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. FINALLY WITH A REAL SYSTEM. Every incident logged becomes a structured, court-appropriate entry — dates, facts, context, escalation flags. Not a notes app. Not screenshots in a folder. Actual documentation your attorney can use. TALK TO YOUR KIDS WITHOUT PUTTING THEM IN THE MIDDLE Generate age-appropriate scripts for the hard conversations — school transitions, holiday logistics, questions they ask that you don't know how to answer without badmouthing the other parent. SEE THE PATTERN, NOT JUST THE MESSAGE Over time, CoParent Shield identifies escalation patterns across your interactions — useful for custody hearings, modification requests, and understanding what's actually happening. THIS IS YOUR TOOL. YOUR CO-PARENT NEVER KNOWS IT EXISTS. CoParent Shield is not a shared platform. It is your private intelligence layer — built for adversarial situations where you need to be calm, strategic, and documented. Journal entries are stored on your device only and never sent anywhere. Built by a parent who needed this and couldn't find it.

Food Scanner AI Overlay turns food photos into clear, AI-generated nutrition estimates on iPhone. Take a photo or choose one from your library, then review estimated calories, carbohydrates, fat, protein, fibre, and concise nutrition highlights. The default Local iPhone Vision mode runs on device for quick, private estimates. Advanced users can optionally configure external AI providers with their own API keys. Cloud options include OpenAI GPT-5.6, Google Gemini 3.5 Flash, Anthropic Claude Fable 5, and xAI Grok 4.5. Local-network options include Ollama vision models and user-selected PocketPal models. Provider availability, billing, and API access are controlled by each provider. The app also includes an optional generic companion mode that can receive an image from another device on the same local network. Companion hardware is not required; the complete analysis workflow works independently on iPhone. Food Scanner is part of Scaling Human, a Hardware + AI lab exploring tools that extend human perception and capability. Nutrition values are AI-generated estimates for general informational use only. They are not medical advice and should not be used for diagnosis, treatment, or dietary decision-making without a qualified professional.
