Co-Parenting Access and Records Exchange
A record neither parent can rewrite.
Expenses, payments and messages, kept in a log that only ever grows. No edits. No deletions. Corrections sit beside the original.
Built in Canada · iOS in TestFlight · Android next
01 — The record
A correction sits beside the original. It never replaces it.
Every action becomes a numbered entry, sealed with a hash of the entry before it.
Only ever added to
Nothing is edited or removed — not by either parent, not by us.
Every entry sealed
Timestamped and hash-chained. Attachments are hashed at upload.
Belongs to the case
One parent closing their account never erases the shared history.
02 — Messaging
“I never saw it” stops being available.
- Read receipts cannot be switched offThe time a message was read enters the record.
- Undo before it sends, never afterAn optional five or ten second window. Then it stands.
- Attachments are sealedHashed at upload, so a file is provably the one sent.
- Pin privatelyMark what matters. The other parent never sees your pins.
03 — What’s inside
Live today, and what’s coming next.
Every item says plainly where it stands. Nothing is described as finished when it isn’t.
Expenses & ledger
Log it, split it, attach the receipt. The balance counts confirmed payments only.
LiveMessages
Attachments, replies, search, pins, and receipts that can’t be turned off.
LiveChild information
Allergies, medications, school. Both parents see it; one maintains it.
LiveSealed receipts
Every attachment hashed at upload, so it can be proven unaltered.
LiveNotifications
Push, an in-app bell and an icon badge — a missed alert isn’t a missed obligation.
LivePrivate profile
The other parent sees your name. Never your address, phone or settings.
LiveSchedule & notice chain
The arrangement, every change to it, and who answered when.
ComingCourt packet export
A dated, verifiable export built for filing, not for scrolling.
ComingProfessional access
Scoped access for your lawyer or a mediator, instead of emailed screenshots.
Coming04 — Where we differ
Against the apps courts already know.
| C.A.R.E. | Typical alternative | |
|---|---|---|
| Record integrity | Hash-chained, tamper-evident | Rests on the provider’s word |
| Editing & deleting | Never, for either parent | Varies by product |
| Read receipts | Always on, written into the record | Often optional |
| Attachments | Hash-sealed at upload | Stored and retrievable |
| Closing an account | Shared record stays with the case | Often unclear what survives |
| Court familiarity | New. We have to earn it | Long established |
Based on publicly documented features at the time of writing.
05 — For lawyers & mediators
Evidence you can test, not a folder of screenshots.
When a client hands you exported messages, the first question is whether they are complete and unaltered. Usually nobody can tell.
C.A.R.E. answers that with sequence and hashing. It does not make anything automatically admissible — that is for the court — but the usual authenticity objections have a factual answer.
Representing a party Coming
Your client grants access. You see their view of the case without them emailing you anything.
Acting as a neutral Coming
Mediators and parenting coordinators can be granted access by both parties, seeing both sides.
Notice & response history Coming
Every schedule request, the notice given, and the answer or silence that followed.
06 — Pricing
The record is free. Always.
A parent should never lose their evidence because they couldn’t afford a subscription. Nothing is charged today while the app is in testing.

08 — Deliberately absent
Three things we won’t build.
Child location tracking
Requested more than once. The answer is no. A record of what happened is not surveillance of a child.
Charging the other parent
C.A.R.E. records what is owed and what was paid. Money never moves without the payer initiating it.
Deleting a sent message
Not even if unread — the notification already reached their phone. That’s what the undo window is for.
09 — Get in touch
Tell us what we’ve got wrong.
C.A.R.E. is in testing on iOS. If you’re a parent who needs this, or a professional whose clients do, we’d like to hear from you — especially if something here wouldn’t survive contact with a real file.
If you are in immediate danger, do not use this app to raise it. Contact your local emergency number. C.A.R.E. is a record-keeping tool and is not monitored in real time.
