Using Parentlog alone

Keep parenting records even if the other parent will not use an app.

You do not need the other parent's cooperation to start. Parentlog works privately from day one, on your phone, and produces a court-ready PDF export when you need it.

When solo records matter

You do not need the other parent's cooperation.

These are the situations Parentlog is built for.

The other parent refuses to use an app

Your solo records stay private, even if you connect with a co-parent later. Only future shared features become available after pairing.

You have limited or no contact

Record handovers, missed contact, phone call windows, and any relevant incidents as they happen. Each entry is timestamped and in order.

Preparing for mediation or a CAFCASS report

A consistent, dated record carries weight. Court welfare officers and solicitors notice when evidence is recorded at the time it happened, not recalled months later.

You want a private record before agreeing anything

Start before any formal arrangement is in place. You do not need to disclose that you are keeping records.

What you can do alone

Private by default. Court-ready when you need it.

Record things as they happen, build a dated history over time, then export the records you need. Journal, handovers, expenses and parenting-time tracking all work without a connected co-parent.

Journal Write dated, factual entries as things happen. Server-timestamped, with amendment history preserved if you make a later change.

Handover records Log every pickup and drop-off: time, location, who was present, any issues. Locked immediately after saving.

Expenses log Record what you spend on the child. Useful as a personal record and as evidence of contribution.

Parenting time tracker Track actual parenting time from your logged handovers and include a summary in your exports.

Your privacy

Nothing goes to the other parent. Nothing.

The other parent has no account, no access, and receives no notification of any kind.

You connect with a co-parent only if and when you choose to. It is a deliberate step you initiate.

Records and downloads

A court-ready PDF you can prove has not been altered.

Independent verification

Anyone with the PDF can verify it

Every Parentlog export includes a verification code. A solicitor, mediator, or the court can visit parentlog.app/verify and confirm that the records in the PDF have not been modified since export.
