1. Our Family Wizard
Created by a divorced couple, the OurFamilyWizard platform promotes harmonious communication between co-parents. As one of the original tools designed for co-parents and their kids, they’ve got unique features. Families can share messages, expenses, events, and even add professional accounts including their mediator or therapist. The optional add-on, ToneMeter, acts like an “emotional spell check,” can pick up on negative tones, and give you alternatives to avoid a potential argument.
2. Coparently
The one-stop-shop app Coparently offers all the tools one would need to make co-parenting easier. With color-coded custody calendars, a secure messaging center, printable records for shared expenses, and a shared online directory, it’s something you should definitely check out. You can even add your kids to the account, helping with communication and the decision-making process. They offer a 30-day free trial, giving you ample time to explore the app and seeing if it fits your family’s needs.
