Custody Journal
Custody Evidence Journal
Free · In‑App Purchases
Document your side. Protect your child. Build court-ready custody evidence without the other parent needing to install anything. Local-only, private.
Custody Journal is a single-parent custody evidence journal. Document custody exchanges, log your child's wellbeing after every visit, archive communications with the other parent, track child-related expenses, and generate a court-ready PDF evidence package.
WORKS WITHOUT YOUR EX
Unlike most co-parenting apps, Custody Journal does not require the other parent to install anything. This is your private documentation tool. No account, no cloud, no invites.
