Read full descriptionHide full description
SplitWeeks keeps co-parenting logistics calm. Set your custody pattern once and the app builds the calendar, marks every handoff, and keeps the shared costs straight, so the plan is clear to both homes. Pick a pattern and SplitWeeks generates a day-by-day calendar you can read at a glance. A two-color month grid shows who has the kids on any date, and a plain summary answers today's question: who has them now, and when is the next handoff. PATTERNS THAT MATCH REAL LIFE - 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, week on and week off, every other weekend, or your own custom repeating block - The schedule repeats from a start day you set, correct across every month and year - Day swaps and multi-day overrides for trades, vacations, holidays, and family trips; the calendar, handoffs, reminders, reports, and time split all follow - Export the custody plan as an iCalendar file you choose where to share (Pro) WHAT YOU GET - A two-color custody month grid with a clear "who has the kids today and next" summary - Handoff days found for you, each with notes and a checklist you can save as a reusable packing template - A reminder the evening before every handoff, so the bag is packed the night before - Parenting time insight: each parent's share this month, year to date, and a six-month trend - Kid info cards: clothing and shoe sizes, medications and dosage notes, school and teacher, allergies - A shared expense log with an adjustable split, a running balance of who owes whom, and a history of payments between parents - Important dates with countdowns: birthdays, appointments, school events - Expense CSV and a Month PDF of the calendar, handoffs, and balance for your records (Pro) - Backup and restore: your whole plan in one file you keep - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets with generic Home A/Home B status and the next-handoff countdown; never names, notes, child details, expenses, or amounts FREE AND PRO Free includes the current month's calendar, handoff checklists, notes and reminders, kid cards, one reusable packing template, one day swap, up to 5 important dates, up to 3 shared expenses, privacy-safe widgets, and backup. Pro unlocks every calendar month, multi-day schedule planning, custody-calendar export, unlimited swaps and templates, the full expense ledger with its balance and payment history, unlimited dates, parenting-time insights, expense CSV, and Month PDF.

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
