The free co-parenting app that isn't a trial.

The other co-parenting apps on the market — Our Family Wizard, TalkingParents, AppClose, 2Houses — all charge per parent, per year, and gate the features that matter most (message export, tone analysis, unlimited storage) behind higher tiers. For a two-parent family that's $200–$300 a year just to keep communication organized.

CustodyTrac was built on the principle that co-parenting tools shouldn't be a luxury. If money is one more thing you and your ex have to negotiate, the app doesn't get used — and when the app doesn't get used, the record doesn't exist.

Because both parents get everything for free, adoption is easy: there's no "which of us is paying?" argument, no shared subscription to renegotiate, no cheaper tier that leaves out the export you actually need in mediation.

A free co-parenting app should not be a stripped-down demo. To be genuinely useful — and defensible in court — it needs the full stack of daily and legal tools in one place:

• A shared, always-up-to-date custody calendar
• Swap requests that both parents digitally sign
• Timestamped, append-only messaging with read receipts
• Transfer/handoff check-ins with GPS-optional timestamps
• Shared expenses with reimbursement and running balance
• Incident reports for the record
• PDF legal exports ready for attorneys and courts
• A dedicated attorney/family access portal

CustodyTrac ships all of the above at no cost. Free stops being a limitation when the free version is the full version.

Every message, transfer log entry, expense, and incident report is timestamped to the second and cryptographically append-only — no edits, no deletions, no backdating. Records are stored encrypted and only visible to the parents, approved family members, and any attorneys either parent chooses to invite.

We don't sell data, we don't run advertising, and we don't monetize the record of your family. The optional legal-help marketplace is entirely opt-in and separate from the free co-parenting toolkit.
