Co-parenting app for shared custody

Custody, child expenses and messages, kept fair for both parents

KidsAtBoth gives you and your co-parent one custody calendar, a shared expense tracker with receipts and approvals, and a message thread nobody can edit. When a lawyer or mediator asks, export a clean family record in one tap.

30 days free, then $79/yr (USD) for your whole family. Both parents, one price.

The demo uses a sample family. No account, nothing to install.

The Home screen: who has the kids now, when they come back, and the next two weeks as one ribbon.

Everything co-parents use every week, in one calm place

Custody schedule app

A co-parenting calendar you can both trust

Set your base custody schedule and handover time once. Both parents see the same days, and swaps only change the calendar when the other parent says yes.

  • Week on/week off, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5 or every other weekend
  • Handovers with time and direction (“you to Jordan”)
  • The next two weeks as one ribbon
KidsAtBoth custody calendar for November 2026: a two-week ribbon with handover markers above a month grid, each day tinted by the parent who has the kids, with pending swap requests outlined.

Shared custody expense tracker

Split child expenses without the back-and-forth

Snap the receipt and choose the split. Your co-parent approves or rejects it with a reason, and the balance only counts what you both agreed to.

  • Receipt photo kept with every expense
  • 50/50 or any percentage split
  • Who owes whom, from approved expenses only
A pending $95.00 City Rec Centre expense paid by Jordan for Maya, split 50% ($47.50), with Approve and Reject buttons.

Co-parent communication app

Co-parent communication that stays on the record

One thread for the two of you. Messages can’t be edited or deleted, and every one is timestamped in your family’s time zone.

  • Permanent, timestamped messages
  • Calm, neutral design for both parents
  • Included in the family record
A co-parent message thread between You and Jordan about a holiday request, each message with a time, and a note that sending is final.

For lawyers and mediators

A court-ready family record in one tap

Export the custody schedule with every request and answer, all expenses with totals, and the full message history as one clean PDF.

  • Parties, children, date range and time zone on the cover
  • Export ID and SHA-256 fingerprint
  • Page numbers and plain tables

Wherever you live

Works in any country, time zone and currency

Pick your family’s time zone, currency and date format when you set up. Both parents then see the same times and amounts, even if one of you moves or travels. Amounts can be in US, Canadian, Australian or New Zealand dollars, pounds or euros.

Use it alongside your parenting plan, custody order or separation agreement. The base schedule mirrors your parenting time, and the family record gives your lawyer or mediator the facts in one document. KidsAtBoth is not legal advice.

A simpler OurFamilyWizard alternative

If you’re looking for an OurFamilyWizard alternative, KidsAtBoth focuses on the everyday three: the custody calendar, shared child expenses and co-parent messages. One family plan covers both parents, and the design stays calm and neutral so neither parent feels the app takes sides.

Frequently asked questions

What is a co-parenting app?

A co-parenting app gives separated or divorced parents one shared place for the custody schedule, child expenses and messages, so nothing depends on memory, screenshots or long text threads. KidsAtBoth keeps all three together and both parents see the same thing.

Can my co-parent and I share one custody calendar?

Yes. You set a base custody schedule once (week on/week off, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5 or every other weekend, with your handover time), and both parents see it. Swaps and holidays are requests: they only change the calendar after the other parent approves.

How do we split child expenses?

Add an expense with a photo of the receipt and choose the split (50/50 or another percentage). Your co-parent approves it or rejects it with a reason, and the balance shows who owes whom from approved expenses only.

Can messages be edited or deleted?

No. Messages in KidsAtBoth are permanent and timestamped, so both parents can trust the history. That also keeps conversations calmer.

Can I use the record with a lawyer, mediator or in court?

You can export a family record PDF with the custody schedule and request history, expenses with totals and the full message history. It shows the parties, the date range, the time zone, when it was generated, page numbers and a SHA-256 fingerprint so a copy can be checked. Whether a court accepts it is up to the court; ask your lawyer.

Is KidsAtBoth an OurFamilyWizard alternative?

Yes, if you want something simpler. KidsAtBoth focuses on the three things co-parents use every week: the custody calendar, shared expenses and messages. One family plan covers both parents. KidsAtBoth is not affiliated with OurFamilyWizard.

Does it work in my country?

Yes. KidsAtBoth works anywhere: each family picks its time zone, currency (US, Canadian, Australian or New Zealand dollars, pounds or euros) and date format, and both parents see the same times and amounts. It works alongside a parenting plan, custody order or separation agreement wherever you live. It is not legal advice.

Can I try it before signing up?

Yes. The live demo uses a sample family, needs no account and lets you play both parents.

How much does KidsAtBoth cost?

After a 30-day free trial it is $79 per year or $11.99 per month (US dollars) for the whole family. Yearly works out to about $6.58 a month. Prices are charged in USD wherever you live.

Does the other parent have to pay?

No. One subscription covers your whole household: both parents and the kids. The second parent joins for free and gets everything the first parent has.

What happens after the free trial?

The trial starts when you create your family and needs no card. Before it ends, either parent can subscribe yearly or monthly. If nobody subscribes, your calendar, expenses and messages stay available, and the PDF family record export is paused until you subscribe.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from Billing in the app whenever you like. Your plan stays on until the end of the period you paid for, and nothing is charged after that.

Should we pick monthly or yearly?

Yearly ($79) saves about 45% compared with twelve months of monthly ($11.99 × 12 = $143.88). Monthly is there if you would rather pay as you go, and you can switch plans later.
