Shared parenting involves shared costs. Family Anchor provides a clear, verifiable ledger for expenses, receipts, and settlements. No more verbal disputes over school fees or emergency medical bills.

Manage handovers and special events with a calendar designed specifically for two households. Track time spent objectively to ensure the parenting plan is being followed.
Our calendar goes beyond simple dates. it evaluates the reality of your schedule. By logging actual handover times, the system provides an objective record of adherence, helping both parents stay accountable to the children’s needs.
Shared parenting is about more than just where the child sleeps. It’s about who handles the admin. Assign tasks like homework, dentist visits, or uniform shopping with ease.
Task management ensures that the "mental load" is visible and shared. When a task is assigned, the responsible parent receives alerts, and completion is logged against the Responsibility Matrix.
Visualize the effort involved in parenting. A live dashboard shows the balance of completed tasks and handovers between both parents.
The Matrix turns abstract feelings of "doing everything" into concrete data. It helps co-parents see where the load is unbalanced and provides a neutral grounds for adjusting responsibilities during mediation or private discussions.
Remove emotion from compliance. Track four core metrics that define the health of your co-parenting relationship.
Gaslighting and "forgetting" are common sources of conflict. The Compliance Dashboard uses data from the Ledger and Calendar to provide a score for both parents, encouraging consistency and reliability.
Draft and version-control your ground rules directly in the app. No more searching through old emails to see what you agreed on.
The Parenting Plan module is a living framework. Rather than a static document, it is a per-point negotiation system that allows parents to build their agreement one clause at a time.
A dedicated channel for parenting talk. Messages are permanent, timestamped, and organized by category to keep logistics away from personal emotions.
By professionalizing your communication, you reduce reactive conflict. Every message is part of an immutable audit trail, ensuring that everyone remains respectful and factual.
Invite grandparents, nannies, or drivers to the platform with restricted, role-based access. Keep everyone in the loop without compromising privacy.
Parenting takes a village. This module allows you to give a nanny access to the calendar or a grandparent read-only access to messages, ensuring handovers happen smoothly even when you aren’t there.
Never text back and forth asking for the pediatrician’s number or shoe sizes again. Keep all vital child information in one secure, shared location.
The Child Profile is the structured heart of the app. It stores medical, academic, and practical info while providing a separate "Social Feed" for moments and school achievements.
Invite your lawyer or mediator to view objective case data. Reduce billable hours by providing them with a clear, ready-made audit trail.
Professionals can be granted read-only access to specific case views. Instead of spending hours compiling spreadsheets, you can grant them access to see the compliance scores and ledger exports directly.

Transform your data into professional documents. Export comprehensive spreadsheets and PDF summaries for legal or mediation proceedings.
Our reports are designed to be accepted in court. They emphasize "Evidence Strength" and provide clear totals of what has been verified with receipts versus what is merely estimated.
Real-time awareness without the stress of constant checking. Get alerted only to the events and approvals that actually matter.
Notifications are the glue that keeps the co-parenting ecosystem moving. From expense approvals to upcoming handovers, the system ensures you never miss a beat or a deadline.
Automate your data entry. Snap a photo of any receipt, and the system instantly extracts the key information and pre-fills your expense form.
Manual data entry is the biggest barrier to consistent record-keeping. Our smart scanning technology reads the receipt for you, identifying the vendor, the total amount, and the date, so you don’t have to.
Carry peace of mind with you. Access your shared calendar, ledger, and messages anytime, anywhere with our dedicated mobile application.
