The calm, modern way for separated parents to run kid logistics — the calendar, the money, the handoffs — without the court-evidence baggage.
Built for two parents — the calendar, the money, and the handoffs in one place.
Stop stitching together WhatsApp threads, a Google Calendar nobody updates, and a Venmo history you can't read. ParentShift puts the daily logistics in one calm place.
Week-on/week-off, 2-2-3, every-other-weekend — presets plus full recurrence. Any change to the other parent's day needs their tap to confirm, so the calendar is never a surprise. Exports to Apple & Google Calendar.
Snap a receipt and OCR fills the rest. The balance updates itself — and settling is a handshake: one parent marks it paid back, the one who's owed confirms it arrived. No unilateral “we're even.”
Pass along more than “pickup at 5.” A handoff card surfaces mood, sleep, and anything flagged — so the receiving parent walks in already knowing it was a rough night.
The retainer, the charger, the library book, the soccer cleats. A live per-kid inventory of what's where and what travels — so nothing gets stranded at the wrong home.
A private, encrypted photo timeline per kid: lost teeth, first goals, small Tuesdays. Every month, ParentShift turns it into a beautiful recap story for both of you.
Medical notes, school details, emergency contacts, sizes — one secure place, encrypted at rest, readable only by the two of you.
At the end of each month, ParentShift turns your family's moments into a beautiful, tap-through recap — the photos you kept, the nights you each covered, the milestones that happened between two homes. Like a private, family-sized Wrapped. Proof, every month, that apart doesn't mean falling apart.
Generated on your device from encrypted memories — we never see the photos.
ParentShift is for amicably separated and blended families who just want logistics to be calm. Set it up once, invite your co-parent, and let the app carry the load.
Sign in with Apple or a 6-digit email code, add your kids, pick a custody pattern. Your real calendar is built before you hit the home screen. About two minutes.
Send one link. They join the same family, pick their own color, and you're both looking at the exact same calendar and balance.
Swap requests, handoff notes, and expense confirmations — pushed to the right parent at the right moment. And at the end of each month, a recap of the life you're both building.
The incumbents are 20-year-old codebases built for custody litigation - and they bill each parent separately. ParentShift is built for the rest of us.

No. ParentShift is built for amicably separated and blended families who just want logistics to be calm. If you need court-admissible evidence or are in active litigation, an app like OurFamilyWizard is a better fit.
Every plan starts with 7 days free — the full app, no limits. Cancel before the week ends and you pay nothing. Billing is handled by the App Store, so cancelling is two taps in your iPhone settings.
Co-parenting is a two-person job, so charging each parent separately never made sense to us. One subscription — $14.99/month or $79/year — covers both parents and all your kids.
On secure, professionally managed cloud infrastructure. Sensitive kid information — medical notes, the info bank, memory photos and captions — is encrypted so that a database breach alone exposes nothing readable. Only the two parents in a family can see family data.
iOS first — the beta is live now. Android is on the roadmap. The calendar also exports to Apple and Google Calendar so every device stays in sync.
