Also free — with the court-ready record AppClose doesn't have.

Frequently asked questions

Isn't AppClose already free?

AppClose is free, and it covers the day-to-day basics well. Where it falls short is when the record needs to hold up legally: it doesn't offer a true append-only audit log, has no dedicated attorney/mediator portal, and its PDF case reports are limited. CustodyTrac is also free, but adds the missing court-ready layer.

Why does an append-only audit log matter?

In a contested custody case, the value of your record depends on whether opposing counsel can argue you edited it. An append-only log means entries can be added but never modified or deleted — with server-side timestamps and record IDs to prove it. Judges and attorneys weigh this heavily.

Does CustodyTrac have in-app payments like AppClose?

CustodyTrac does not process payments directly — expense splitting is tracked (who paid, who owes) and reimbursed through your existing method (Venmo, Zelle, bank transfer). This keeps CustodyTrac out of your financial data and avoids per-transaction fees.

Can attorneys and mediators access CustodyTrac?

Yes — free, read-only attorney and mediator portal is included. AppClose doesn't offer a comparable professional access flow.

Should I use both AppClose and CustodyTrac?

You can, but there's no real reason to duplicate. CustodyTrac covers everything AppClose does and adds the court-ready record layer AppClose is missing.

How do I move over from AppClose?

Create a CustodyTrac account, invite your co-parent, and set up your custody schedule — takes about ten minutes. Historical AppClose data can be kept as-is in AppClose (or exported where possible) and referenced if needed later.
