BestInterest is a co-parenting app for separated parents who want to manage communication and parenting details. It combines a shared custody calendar, schedule changes, tasks, expense tracking, and receipts. Message Shield filters harmful language before a recipient reads it while preserving the original message, and Tone Guardian suggests a calmer alternative for drafts. Solo Mode lets one parent use coaching, organization, and documentation tools without requiring the other parent to join. Users can export supported records as CSV; Connect and higher plans add structured PDF Verified Reports, though admissibility depends on the facts and jurisdiction. In-app audio and video calls are available, while Protect Plus includes recording and transcription for supported calls. Journal entries, Coach conversations, and unsent drafts are private from the co-parent; sent or deliberately shared content is visible. BestInterest offers a free plan with no expiration. Paid plans start at $9.99 USD per month and include a 14-day trial. The app is available on Android, iOS, and web.
