|---|---|---|
| Court records | Certified electronic business-record exports include a unique record ID and certification timestamp, and are available only to users in the United States. | Braidly says its exports are timestamped and include a SHA-256 content digest, while legal hold prevents either parent from editing or deleting records through the app. |
| Expense tracking | Expenses can be categorized, documented with receipts, submitted for reimbursement and exported. | Parents can submit expenses with receipt photos, apply split ratios, approve or query costs, and see a running balance; Braidly records settlements but does not move money. |
