Co-parenting, handled fairly. Help included.

Set the pattern once and both parents see whose day it is. No entering it day by day.

• Week on / week off, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, weeknights plus every other weekend, or your own repeating pattern
• Year-round, or split by season: school year one way, summer another
• Holiday and break periods sit inside the regular schedule and take priority over it
• Shared events like recitals and appointments show for both parents no matter whose day it is
• Track the kids, and pets too if they go back and forth

Draft changes across days, weeks or months, then send them as one request. Ask to just take some days, or offer days back in exchange. Nothing moves on the calendar until the other parent approves.

• Silence is not approval. There is no auto-approve.
• Pending requests sit on an amber card at the top of the calendar
• The exchange time you agreed on is saved with the request, so it can't drift later
• Split rules for expenses work the same way: a change goes to your co-parent first and only applies to new expenses

Side Check answers plain questions about your custody schedule, right in the app.

Ask "Who has the kids on September 4?" or "How many nights from the 1st to the 14th?" Side Check counts it straight from the schedule in Kidside. If you've scanned your parenting order on that phone, it can quote the sentence that covers your question, word for word, or tell you the order doesn't cover it.

It does not give legal advice or write legal answers. It counts days and quotes text. That's it.

Messages are timestamped by the server, not by anyone's phone, and can't be edited or deleted by either parent. Requests, approvals and payments drop their own notes into the thread, so the history reads in order.

Snap a receipt and Kidside reads the text on your phone to fill in the details. You check them before saving. The photo is shared with your co-parent so they can see what they're paying back.

• Split rules by category. Each expense keeps the rule that was in force when it was logged, so changing a rule never rewrites old expenses.
• Your co-parent approves or declines, and every answer is timestamped
• Pay back with Venmo, Cash App or PayPal handles. No bank login, no card details stored in the app.
• The person paid confirms it arrived before the balance moves, and can dispute a payment with a reason

Photograph the pages of your parenting order. Kidside reads the text on your phone and drafts the schedule if it spots a common pattern: week on / week off, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, or weeknights plus every other weekend. You check the draft and confirm it, then it goes to your co-parent like any other custody change.

Honest limit: it won't pick up custom rotations or holiday schedules. Those you set by hand. A wrong draft is only ever a proposal.

The database itself blocks edits and deletes on the shared record, so "nobody changed it" is built in, not a promise. When you or your attorney need it, export it.

• Message history, expenses with approvals and the split that applied, the custody calendar with every exchange day, and the payment record
• PDF or CSV, stamped with when it was generated and how many records it holds
• If a parent deletes their account, their sign-in, profile and email go. The shared record stays for the other parent, because it may be needed in court later. Their entries keep their name with "(former member)" after it.

Kidside opens straight into your messages and records, so it asks for a 4-digit passcode. If someone else picks up your phone, they can't read it.
