Built for your situation.
You don't need a co-parent to start
Parents using it alone can use the full app from day one: journal, expenses, handovers, custody time, PDF exports, and the Info Library. Everything is private by default. Invite a co-parent later if circumstances change, or never. Your records stay yours either way.
One place for both of you
When you connect with a co-parent, shared features become available for future records: joint handovers, expense requests, schedules, messages, and shared child information. Nothing you recorded before pairing is ever visible to them.
Records you can rely on
If you are heading into mediation, working with a solicitor, or preparing for a family court hearing, Parentlog gives you dated, structured records you can export as a PDF. Every entry is server-timestamped and cannot be edited or deleted after saving.
Everything that matters.
One private record.
Journal
Keep a dated record of what actually happens: incidents, conversations, concerns, milestones. Entries are timestamped the moment you save them and cannot be backdated or altered.
Expenses & Settlements
Log child-related costs with amounts, dates, categories, and optional receipt photos. When paired, submit expenses to your co-parent for acceptance or dispute. Settlements record what was paid and what is still outstanding.
Handovers
Record every pickup and drop-off with a date, time, optional location, and notes. A clear, permanent log of when your child was with whom. Cannot be edited after saving.
Custody Calculator
Parenting time calculated automatically from your logged handovers. Shows actual care time for any date range and child, not what was planned on paper, but what was recorded.
PDF Export
Generate a structured export for your solicitor, co-parent, or personal records. Choose what to include: journal entries, expenses, handovers, messages, and custody summaries.
Info Library
Store important child information in one organised place: allergies, emergency contacts, school and medical details, clothing sizes, routines. Works alone or shared with a co-parent.
Your records. Your rules.
Your history stays yours
Everything you record is private to you by default. Connecting with a co-parent is optional, whether at first setup or any time later, and it never exposes records you created before pairing. Once paired, shared records like handovers, expenses and messages are visible to both parents. Journal entries are the exception: they start private, and you choose whether to share each one at the time of writing.
Built to stay accurate
Once a record is confirmed, it cannot be edited or deleted. Messages, handovers, submitted expenses, and calendar records are permanent. If a journal entry is amended, the original is kept alongside the revision, and nothing is silently overwritten. This is what makes Parentlog useful in a disputed situation: the record of what happened is stable.
