The Coparent App

What The Coparent App is

The Coparent App is for separated parents who want messaging, shared family tools and organised records in one service. Its Family plan is £9/month per family for two parents, with both parents linked and access to all Coparent features. Bridge Mode lets one parent use the app while the other receives and replies through ordinary email without an app account. Boundary Mode limits each parent to three consecutive normal messages without a reply; a response resets the allowance. AI can suggest calmer, child-focused message wording, and the user chooses whether to edit, send or cancel it.

Shared tools include a calendar, child information, expense records, a diary and handover logging. Parents can grant verified professionals read-only access to family records and revoke it. Families can request organised PDF records, although courts decide which evidence they accept. The family plan includes 120 minutes of voice and video communication per month, 5GB of initial storage with free extensions available on request, app support and direct WhatsApp support. The maker says production traffic is encrypted in transit and core AWS-hosted data and files are encrypted at rest, but the service is not end-to-end encrypted. The app is designed around UK families and their co-parenting arrangements.

Who it suits

It is designed for separated parents, especially families whose co-parenting arrangements are based in the UK. It may also suit parents who want shared records or the option to grant verified professionals read-only access.

Limits

The Family plan includes 120 minutes of voice and video calls per month and 5GB of initial storage; free storage extensions can be requested. The free professional portal is read-only and has no client-family seats or paid business placement.

Getting started

1. Install the app on Android or iOS.
2. Subscribe to the Family plan for two linked parents.
3. Use Bridge Mode if the other parent will communicate through email without an app account.
4. Add shared calendar, child information, expense, diary and handover records.
5. Grant verified professionals read-only access if needed; revoke it whenever you choose.

Verdict

Choose The Coparent App if two separated parents want shared family records, messaging and communication tools in one place. Its Bridge Mode can include a parent who does not have an app account, but the £9/month family subscription and lack of end-to-end encryption may lead some families to look elsewhere.
