About

SharedAnchor

Features
Read full description

Both parents see the exact same calendar, expenses, and exports, regardless of who manages billing for the pair. SharedAnchor helps co-parents keep a clear, shared record of the things that matter: expenses, payments made outside the app, and the custody calendar. • Shared expense tracking — log child-related expenses and how they're split. • Outside-payment records — record Venmo and other payments you make to each other, so both parents have one agreed history. • Shared custody calendar — see custody days and confirm changes together. • Tamper-evident records — entries are cryptographically chained so the shared history can't be quietly altered. SharedAnchor never moves or holds money. Payments happen wherever you already make them; SharedAnchor keeps the record.
