Two homes.

Why families switch
Stop piecing it together from texts
Co-parenting is hard enough without screenshots, spreadsheets and “wait, who has them Tuesday?”
Before
- Schedules buried in a long text thread
- Receipts in a camera roll, IOUs in your head
- Changes agreed by phone, then remembered differently
- Allergies and teacher names known by only one parent
With Shared Thread
- One calendar both of you see
- Every cost added, split and added up for you
- Changes asked for and approved, with a clear record
- Each child's key info in one shared profile
Everything in one place
Built for the everyday logistics of two homes
The tools you need to keep the kids' week on track, and nothing that gets in the way.
🔁
Swaps without the standoff
Ask to swap a night. Your co-parent says yes or no in the app. The night stays the same until they say yes.
💵
Fair, clear expenses
Add costs with any split. See who owes what at a glance. Mark costs paid, and save a monthly summary as a PDF.
🎒
Events & school days
Practices, recitals, doctor visits and no-school days, all on the same calendar. Events can repeat, too.
🩺
Child profiles
Allergies, medicines, teachers, sizes and bedtime routines. Whoever has the kids has the answers.
💬
Chat, photos & pets
One place to talk about the kids and share photos from your week. Track pet care, too.
🎄
Holidays & handoffs
Plan holidays that switch each year, and trips, on top of the usual schedule. Set handoff times and places. Keep a packing list so nothing gets left behind.
🤝
Decide together
Sign-ups, school, doctors, house rules. One parent asks, the other says yes or no. The answer is saved with the date.
🧾
Child support & pay-backs
Keep track of child support and pay-me-back requests. The parent who paid adds it. The other parent confirms it. No money moves through the app.
How it works
Up and running before dinner
Create your family
Sign up, add your kids and pick a color. Then it's easy to see whose night is whose.
Invite your co-parent
Send them your private invite code. They can join from any web browser, on a phone or a computer.
Plan together
Fill in the schedule, add events and costs, and keep each other in the loop.
Less friction, fewer surprises
Money and messages, kept calm and clear
Money and plans are where most co-parenting fights start. Shared Thread keeps both clear, easy to see and easy to sort out.
- A running balance you both trustSee what's owed at any time. Anything not paid yet carries over to the next month.
- Edits need a yesTo change or delete a shared cost, you ask first. Nothing disappears quietly.
- Conversations stay on topicA chat just for the kids, kept apart from everything else on your phone.
Private by design
Your family's info stays with your family
🔒
Only people you invite
Only you and your co-parent can see your family's info. You can add a view-only guest, like a grandparent. Guests can't change anything or read your chat.

Stored safely with Google Firebase. Changes show up right away on all your devices.

Questions
Good to know
Is Shared Thread free?
Yes, while we're in beta. You don't need a card to sign up. When paid plans start, every family gets 30 days free first. One plan covers your whole family, not each parent. Even without a plan, you can always read your records, download them, and use chat.
Does my co-parent need to sign up too?
Not to get started. You can set up the schedule, costs and documents on your own. It will all be there, with its history, when they join. Each parent has their own account. Once they join, you both see the same calendar, and changes need a yes from the other parent.
Can I get my records out?
Always. Download the full chat, the home-night change log, the handoff log, costs, child support records and your private notes any time. The files are yours to keep. Messages and the change log can't be edited or deleted, so a download is a better record than screenshots.
What happens if we don't agree on a change?
Nothing changes until you both agree. A swap or a cost change waits until the other parent says yes. If they say no, things stay as they were. (If you both want, you can turn off these approvals in Settings.)
Who can see our information?
Only you, your co-parent and any guests you invite. Guests can look but can't change anything, and they never see your chat. Only signed-in family members can browse your info.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Shared Thread works in the web browser on any phone, tablet or computer, so there's nothing to download. Tip: add it to your home screen so it's one tap away.
