What Harbor is
Harbor is a co-parenting service for managing child-related expenses, custody schedules, and communication. Parents can record costs, divide them, attach receipts, and track balances. Receipt photos can be used to pre-fill an expense with its amount, merchant, and date. The custody calendar syncs with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook. Messages are timestamped and kept, and Temperature Check can flag a draft that may be heated before it is sent. A private journal provides a timestamped notebook visible only to its author. Harbor can export messages, expenses, and calendar records for documentation, and one parent can start keeping calendar and expense records before the other joins. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web. After a 7-day trial, the Monthly subscription is $9.99 a month per person, or the Annual subscription is $49.99 a year per person. Eligible parents may receive 12 months of full access at no cost if they qualify through a court fee waiver, means-tested public benefits, or domestic violence survivor status. Harbor says sensitive co-parenting and financial data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and personal information is not sold.
