What Truece is
Truece is a mobile service for co-parents and their communities to organize communication and family responsibilities. Its tools include messaging, scheduling, expenses, notes, custody tracking, reports, and document storage. Messages are kept in chronological records that users cannot alter or erase, and users can choose what information to share with each connection. A parent can also use Truece without the other parent joining, including to manage schedules, track payments, record custody time, and upload existing text conversations. Family events may be single or recurring, and authorized linked users can view or edit them. Expense entries can include reimbursements, categories, and receipt or item photos. Custody timers can use geofenced triggers to remind users to update visitation status at pickups and drop-offs. The Basic plan is free and includes two reports per year covering the past 60 days. Enhanced costs $4.99/mo and includes unrestricted reporting and data history, more file storage, and up to three photos per Notes or Expenses submission. It also has a $50 resubscription fee for reactivation within one year of cancellation.
