AppClose: Co-Parent Essentials

Shared parenting, kept in one place

AppClose: Co-Parent Essentials is a parenting app for separated or co-parenting families who need one place for schedules, messages, calls, child information, expenses, and handoffs. Its shared calendar can hold parenting time, appointments, events, and notes, while a parenting-time tracker helps compare planned time with actual time.

Practical tools for everyday coordination

Parents can send one-to-one or group messages, make audio and video calls, and store photos, receipts, and documents. The app also supports pickup, drop-off, and switch-day requests, private check-ins for arrival and departure records, and shared details such as allergies, medications, school information, and emergency contacts. Stepparents, grandparents, guardians, childcare providers, and legal professionals can be included when needed.

• Organize shared expenses and receipts by category
• Send or receive reimbursements through the app
• Keep calendar notes and important child records together
• Manage arrangements involving family pets

Records for clearer communication

Messages, calls, requests, check-ins, notes, and payments are stored with timestamps and protected from alteration. Parents can export certified records, message history, call logs, recordings and transcripts, expense details, reimbursement activity, and other in-app session records. That makes the app useful for families who want a consistent written record of arrangements and communication.

When only one parent uses the app

AppClose Solo is designed for situations where a co-parent or another participant has not joined. Requests, events, and information can be sent through text, email, or social media while the records remain organized in AppClose. The app is published by AppClose, Inc and sits in the Parenting category, with a 4.39 rating from 28,538 reviews and 1,000,000+ installs.
