In their own words
AppClose
AppClose is a co-parenting service for keeping communication, schedules, expenses, payments, check-ins and records together. It is available on Android, iOS and the web, with browser access that syncs communications, calendars, expenses and records. Messages are time-stamped, encrypted, permanent and searchable, and conversations can be exported. With both users' consent, audio and video calls can be recorded, transcribed and securely stored. Parents can use 15 ready-made schedule templates or create schedules and shared calendar events. The ipayou payment feature handles reimbursements, child support and shared expenses. AppClose Solo sends requests, events and expenses to non-users by text or email while keeping a log; professionals can join through AppClose Pro with appropriate consent. Certified electronic business-record exports include a record ID and certification timestamp, but are available only in the United States. A fee-waiver account costs nothing for financial hardship and domestic-violence survivors. Monthly web billing is $7.99 a month; monthly app billing is $8.99 a month. A 60-day trial is listed.
