BeNice - family & co parentapp
Shared calendar & communicate
Free · In‑App Purchases
BeNice is the parenting and co-parenting app for separated, divorced and co-parents.
You're still parents together, even if you no longer live together. BeNice brings calm to coordination and clarity in handovers and appointments. Everything around your child(ren) stays in one place, so co-parenting feels easier and communication stays child-focused.
DO YOU RECOGNISE THIS?
- Your ex can be rude and you want to protect yourself so it doesn't escalate
- Sometimes you reply more sharply than you meant and regret it later
- You only want to communicate what's necessary: clear, brief, and without drama
- You lose track of handovers, appointments, and belongings
- You forget holidays, birthdays, or school dates until it's too late
- You want to stay involved in your children's lives, even when they're with your ex
- Sometimes you want a quick check-in about a situation with your child or your ex
That's why BeNice exists: calm coordination and clear planning.
WHAT YOU GET
Chat with calm and clarity (per family)
Feedback Coach helps you communicate better
BeNice Filter reduces negativity and unwanted emotions
Shared calendar for handovers and special dates
Family calendar to share appointments
BeNice Coach for advice and support
Photo album for moments and updates
Parenting plan generator for questions and a draft
CHAT (EX COMMUNICATION)
Safe, clear coordination about the children. Conversations stay together per family, so you can easily find appointments and updates again. Keep it short and share only what's needed.
FEEDBACK COACH
You may mean well, but a message can still sound harsher than intended. The Feedback Coach helps you make your text calmer and clearer before you send it — so you're less likely to send messages you regret later.
BENICE FILTER
Not every message needs to land the way it was written. The filter helps reduce negative language and unwanted emotion, keeping coordination more focused on the children.
SHARED CALENDAR (FAMILY CALENDAR / CO-PARENTING CALENDAR)
Your family calendar includes:
handover schedule
special dates
requests
Colours instantly show where the children are staying. Notifications remind you of an upcoming handover. Plan clubs, dentist appointments, or parents' evening. Helpful for parenting arrangements and a practical contact schedule — quickly see who is responsible and when.
SPECIAL DATES
School holidays, INSET days, birthdays, and important dates: add them and immediately see how they affect your plan.
PHOTO ALBUM
Photos and updates in one place, so they don't disappear between messages. Stay involved, even when your children are with the other parent.
THE BENICE COACH
Always available for a quick check-in: about your child, your ex, or how to stay calm in a difficult moment.
PARENTING PLAN
Create a draft parenting plan with explanations and examples. Export it for a mediator, a solicitor, or another professional, and adjust it easily later.
GREY ROCK & BIFF
In BeNice it's easier to stick to the facts. Write your message, let the Feedback Coach simplify it (BIFF), and use the BeNice Filter to reduce a negative tone — keeping communication calm and practical (Grey Rock).

A major upgrade to the intelligence behind BeNice.
What's new:
• A brand-new AI for message help — smarter, calmer, and better at understanding what you really mean.
• Clearer rewrites and feedback, built on BIFF (Brief, Informative, Friendly, Firm) — the proven co-parenting communication method. When a message is tense, BeNice suggests kinder way to say the same thing.
• Your coach, now right inside the chat — open it in one tap to help you write or rephrase a message exactly when you need it.
• A coach that knows your situation — it can draw on your calendar and your conversation to give advice that genuinely fits, and it stays completely private from your co-parent.
• Insights by topic — new per-subject statistics show what you and your co-parent talk about most.
Lower-conflict communication between parents is better for children — and BeNice is designed to help you get there, one message at a time.

What's new in BeNice
New: Expense Tracker
From now on, easily keep track of shared expenses in BeNice.
* Track expenses related to the kids. Nice and clear.
* Settlements in view: see who paid for what.
* Store receipts in the app, so you never lose them.
* Discuss together (or object) when an expense isn't right. Calmly, in the app, no hassle.
To make it extra easy, scan the receipt via the expense tracker and the info fields are filled in automatically!
New: Calendar Print
Prefer something tangible on the fridge? You can now print a physical version of your BeNice calendar with only the kids' appointments. Handy for the whole family, including those who don't use the app (yet).
New: Export Chat
Sometimes you want a full printout of all communication. With chat export you get a complete overview of who sent what (without filters), exactly as it was said.
And these further improvements:
* Notifications for chat messages work properly again.
* The app looks sleeker and calmer, for even more calm and overview.
* Our AI is now even smarter
Thanks for using BeNice.
