The Coparent App
The Coparent App brings messaging, shared family tools, and organized records together for separated parents.
What The Coparent App is
The Coparent App brings messaging, shared family tools, and organized records together for separated parents. Bridge Mode allows one parent to use the app while the other communicates through ordinary email without an app account. Boundary Mode limits each parent to three consecutive normal messages without a reply, and a response resets that allowance. AI can suggest calmer, child-focused wording before a message is sent; the parent chooses whether to edit, send, or cancel it. Shared tools include a calendar, child information, expense records, a diary, and handover logging. Parents can grant verified professionals read-only access to family records and revoke it later. Families can request organized PDF records, though courts decide what evidence they accept. The Family plan costs £9/month per family for two parents and includes 120 minutes of voice and video communication monthly, plus 5GB of initial storage. Free storage extensions are available on request. The maker says data is encrypted in transit and core AWS-hosted data and files are encrypted at rest, but the service is not end-to-end encrypted.

Who it suits

Verdict
The Coparent App combines shared records with messaging options for parents whose co-parent does not use the app. Its monthly call allowance, initial storage limit, and non-end-to-end encryption are important details to weigh.
