A free co-parenting app with court-ready records: does it exist?

The best-known co-parenting apps put their tamper-proof, timestamped records behind a paywall, which leaves a lot of parents assuming that a clear record for court is something you have to pay for. You do not.

There is no official "court-ready" certificate that an app can buy. What the phrase really describes is a record that a court can trust: one that is timestamped, that cannot be quietly edited or deleted after the fact, and that can be exported cleanly. Those qualities make a record easier to rely on. They do not guarantee it will be admitted or given weight, because that is always the court's decision.

ParenThing keeps a clear, timestamped record of messages and agreements between co-parents, free to start for both parents, with one Premium plan (€12.99 a month) covering the whole family and your data held in the EU. If you later need to show what was said or agreed, the record is there. We do not charge extra for it, and we do not claim it is automatically admissible, because no honest app can.

And if a mediator, solicitor or family support worker is involved in your case, verified professionals use ParenThing free, with court-ready reports included, so nobody has to pay just to see the record.
