FamSync: Custody & Coparenting
Custody calendar and expenses
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Shared custody calendar, overnights and child expenses for co-parents. Free.
FamSync is the comprehensive, neutral co-parenting application designed to simplify life for separated, divorced, or joint custody families. Our mission is to reduce conflict and ensure peace of mind, clarity, and transparency in children's daily organization.
No more confusing messaging threads, scattered spreadsheets, or forgotten verbal agreements. FamSync brings everything together into one secure, shared hub for parents, grandparents, and trusted caregivers.
CORE FEATURES:
• CUSTODY CALENDAR & OVERNIGHTS
• Plan custody schedules with total clarity: alternating 2-2-3 patterns, alternating weeks (7-7), weekend cycles, or custom schedules with distinct color codes for each parent.
• Multi-Child: manage custody schedules, activities, and events for each child from a single unified calendar.
• Automatic Holidays: national holidays and school vacations for your country appear automatically in your calendar.
• Real-Time Overnight Tracker: track exactly how many nights each parent spends with the children.
• FORMAL SCHEDULE SWAP REQUESTS
• Unexpected schedule change? Send and receive formal date swap requests directly through the app.
• One-tap approval or decline: every change is timestamped and logged, preventing misunderstandings and disputes.
• SHARED EXPENSES & SMART OCR RECEIPT SCANNER
• The only co-parenting app with built-in receipt scanning: photograph a bill and our OCR technology automatically extracts the date and exact amount.
• Flexible splitting: split costs 50/50 or with custom ratios for medical, school, sports, and extracurricular expenses.
• Instant Balances & Settlements: see at any moment who owes what, and log settlements with a single tap.
• COURT-READY CERTIFIED PDF REPORTS
• Export paginated, court-compliant legal reports for family attorneys, judges, or mediators, complete with overnight custody records, expense history with receipt attachments, and communication logs.

• Communicate constructively and peacefully through the in-app messaging center.
• Indelible record: sent messages cannot be edited or deleted. Real-time delivery and "Read" receipts for full transparency.
• CHILD HEALTH, VITALS & SECURE VAULT
• Essential child details always within reach: pediatrician contacts, school info, clothing sizes, allergy notes, and medication schedules.
• Document Vault: securely store digital copies of IDs, health insurance cards, and court agreements with AES-256 encryption.
• HOME SCREEN WIDGETS & LIVE ACTIVITY
• Check at a glance who the children are staying with tonight directly from your phone or tablet lock screen and home screen.
• PROFESSIONAL ACCESS & READ-ONLY MODE
• Invite your family lawyer or mediator with dedicated read-only permissions to facilitate peaceful agreements.

more ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️FamSync is fairly new, but I’m genuinely impressed with what the developer is building. It already combines so many of the things co-parents actually need—custody scheduling, secure messaging, expense tracking, parenting-time calculations, and court-ready records—in one place.I particularly love the scheduling and exchange options. I’ve used TalkingParents extensively in the past, and FamSync offers scheduling and exchange-management features that TalkingParents simply does not have. Being able to clearly manage custody days, exchanges, schedule changes, and requests in one place makes a huge difference.What has impressed me most, though, is how responsive the developer is to feedback. Suggestions are actually heard, and it feels like the app is being developed around what real separated and co-parenting families need rather than just checking boxes.There are obviously established co-parenting apps already out there, but I genuinely believe FamSync has the potential to eventually replace them. If the developer continues listening to users and building at this pace, I could see this becoming the go-to co-parenting app worldwide.Definitely one to get in on early and grow with.

4.0 Aug 29
New in this version
- Anonymous usage statistics: they help us see which features are really needed. You can turn them off at any time in Settings > Privacy.
- Names, family code, notes, messages, amounts and your location never leave your device. The privacy policy now explains exactly what is measured.
- The "no ads" button has a clearer icon, the same one everywhere in the app.
Thank you for using FamSync!
3.9.0 Aug 25
New in this version
Your account
- "Delete account and data" now really deletes everything and lets you start over, instead of leaving the app stuck until you restart it.
Notifications
- On iPhone, the device now registers for push notifications correctly. The button that was supposed to fix it no longer claims success when nothing changed, and no longer tells you it registers "an audio".
Recurring turns and overnights
- The app no longer shows the technical labels "SPO", "NCP" or "E-SPO": it now speaks plain language, in your language.
- The error "SPO not configured" is gone, replaced with a clear message that points to the recurring turns.
Calendar
- Quick Add "overnight" no longer wipes the day's transfers, school and vacations.
- Pickup, afternoon and sick no longer disappear silently when there is no overnight.
- Swapping nights no longer reassigns nights that belong to a third role.
- The FamSync title no longer overflows the top bar.
Family
- Creating a family and registering your role no longer hang when you are offline.
No ads
- A "no ads" button now appears right in the calendar.
- "Restore purchases" works again for subscribers in their grace period.
- On Android, a restored purchase can no longer bypass the server-side check.
Thank you for using FamSync!
3.8.0 Aug 19
New in this version
No ads
- There is now an optional monthly subscription that takes advertising out of the whole app. FamSync stays complete without it. It replaces the video you had to sit through for a few ad-free days.
- The ads go the moment the subscription is active, not after the next restart.
- If a payment is left pending we say so, instead of leaving you in front of a button that keeps spinning.
- "Restore purchases" no longer hands out ad-free days to someone who had cancelled.
- Subscribers no longer get the full-screen ad when they open the app.
Custody and overnights
- In families that came from the old app, no overnight choice showed as already selected: it always looked as though everything had to be done again.
- Proposing a change of overnight wiped the activities, the expenses and the notes on that day that had nothing to do with custody.
- Proposing several days at once did not tell the other parent: the proposal sat there with nobody knowing.
Notifications
- Tapping a notification opened the calendar on the right day but not the day itself: the proposal waiting for your approval, and the events, stayed out of sight. It felt as if the tap did nothing at all.
- In the notification center, overnight proposals could only be read in Italian and English. They are in your language now.
First run
- The introduction never appeared for anyone installing FamSync for the first time.
Speed
- The calendar, the messages and the family roles each read the same data twice on every update.
Thank you for using FamSync!
3.7.0 Aug 18
New in this version
Custody and overnights
- Proposing a plan of overnights is much faster. It used to make two separate saves for every single day you touched.
- With a slow connection, a change you proposed did not appear on your own calendar until much later. It shows up straight away now.
- "Approve" could do nothing at all while "Reject" on the same card worked. Both work now, online and off.
- A custom pattern could write weeks of nights to one parent alone across months you had never opened.
- A custom cycle labelled the days "A" and "B" instead of using the parents' names.
- Only Mum and Dad can receive a swap request now, and in families migrated from the old app Dad could send one to himself.
Saving
- Editing an event no longer waits for the server before letting you carry on, and your change is visible even with no connection at all.
- Accepting a swap, editing a repeating series and "copy last week" each made a long queue of saves, one after another. They are done in one go now.
- Syncing with Google Calendar no longer works through your events single file.
Calendar
- Re-saving the day, swapping days or duplicating them wiped the note and the attachments on the night.
- The school pickup could be set but never cleared.
- You attached the school letter to "School", ticked "sick", and the letter was gone.
- The "Edit" button on an expense led to a screen where an expense cannot be edited. It is no longer offered.
- Today's summary is out of the way of the month grid, and shows times the way you read them, not always on a 24 hour clock.
Notifications
- Creating an activity from the calendar, or moving it half an hour, did not tell the other parent at all.
- The evening reminder said "nanna_a3f9c1" instead of the name of the person the children are with.
- "nanna_b7e204 accepted the request" — a technical id in the middle of a sentence.
- A swap request read "8/10 to 8/12" without saying which year.
- An activity, an expense or a holiday saved without a note arrived as an empty notification for anyone whose language is not yet known.
- After a batch change, the notification named a single day while twelve had changed.
Parenting time report
- Nights belonging to a role you had deleted stayed inside the total but had no line of their own: the report said 30 overnights and listed 24. Those nights are accounted for now.
Home screen widget
- An absence could be announced as the next thing coming up, hiding the real event behind it.
Your language
- Counters read "1 events" and "1 years". Twenty nine of them now agree with the number.
- The overnight plan showed "alternating-week" instead of the name of the pattern.
Accessibility
- White text on the lighter role colours was hard to read. The label now follows the colour underneath it.
Thank you for using FamSync!
3.6.0 Aug 14
New in this version
Notifications
- Tapping a notification now takes you where it happened. Some of them did nothing at all before.
- A message or a call opens the conversation, not the calendar.
- "Mark all as read" no longer fails quietly.
- When a possession order is revoked, you land on the day that changed.
Calendar
- Today at a glance, above the grid: who has the children, what is on, and what is waiting for you.
- Saving a night is immediate now. It no longer waits for the server before letting you carry on, and opening a month is faster.
- Duplicating a month that contains a holiday running past the end of it no longer copies that holiday back to front.
- A date stored in an unexpected format is no longer shown as today.
Expenses
- A 70/30 split, or any share other than half, is now really applied. It was quietly falling back to an equal split.
Custody and approvals
- Custody approvals now live in Requests, where you go looking for them.
- A family that never chose a mode is treated as collaborative, so nobody is left waiting for an approval that no one can give.
Possession order
- The summer period can now be removed, not only added.
- School holidays are no longer five unnamed rows the first time you open them.
Home screen widget
- A night that is only proposed is no longer shown as if it were settled.
Activities and places
- When you edit an activity, a custom duration is visible again, and the Repeat selector shows what is actually set.
- If no maps app can open an address, the app now says so, instead of blaming a loading error.
Messages
- Starting a video call, or commenting on an event, no longer fails without a word.
Signing in, and leaving
- The "Sign in with Google" button can no longer spin forever, and signing in anonymously now retries instead of giving up.
- After you leave a family, your phone stops telling you who has the children tomorrow.
Children
- Milestones: a title too long to create could still be saved when editing. The two agree now.
- The date of birth field no longer breaks if you leave the screen with the date picker open.
Your language
- In Hungarian, "Save" read "Ments" and accented letters were missing. Regional variants were overriding the base language, which also meant translation fixes never reached anyone. Fixed everywhere it happened.
- "General" was translated as the military rank in seven languages.
- A few messages were still showing Italian in every other language.
Thank you for using FamSync!
3.5.0 Aug 9
New in this version
Privacy
- A note marked "only for me" now stays private everywhere. It is no longer shown when you open the event, and it is no longer included when you copy or share it.
- A proposal on a private event no longer reveals its title to the other parent.
Custody
- A possession order can now be undone. It removes only the overnights that were generated automatically and never agreed, from today onwards. Days already in the past, and days the other parent approved, are left exactly as they are.
- If the change log cannot be read, nothing is removed at all: an agreement must never be mistaken for an automatic entry.
- You can record the court, the order number and its date. They appear at the top of the custody section of the legal report.
- The same custody change is no longer proposed twice to the other parent.
Approvals
- Changes waiting for approval have their own screen, reachable from the menu and from the badge in the top bar. Each entry shows what actually changes, between which parents, and on what day.
- You can withdraw a proposal you made yourself, instead of waiting for a reply that may never come.
- Editing an activity no longer asks the other parent for permission: you change it, they are notified. Approval stays where it protects something, on custody days. Editing an activity now also saves its address, duration, participants and child.
Collaborative mode
- New families start in collaborative mode. If your family was created earlier, Settings now suggests trying it: it needs the other parent's consent, and you can switch back whenever you want.
Expenses
- Split an expense by a share other than half, for the times when 50/50 is not the agreement.
- Reimbursed and pending are now marked on each expense, consistently on both parents' phones.
- Ready-to-send letters based on your balance: a reminder, a formal notice, or a summary for a judge.
Children
- Milestones: record your children's firsts and let the other parent know.
- Check-ins now appear in the legal report and in the monthly spreadsheet.
When something goes wrong
- If data cannot be loaded, the screen now says so instead of showing an empty list. An empty list and a failed connection are not the same thing, and they no longer look the same.
- Family rules and important information are no longer wiped from the screen by a brief connection drop.
- Attachments, chat photos and PDFs no longer stay stuck uploading forever on a slow connection.
Your language
- InfoBank, the month duplication dialog and the export menu were still showing English in every language: they are now translated, along with the whole custody mode section.
- Two confirmation dialogs that delete or overwrite were only half translated in Japanese, Khmer and Lao. They now read properly.
Thank you for using FamSync!
3.4.0 Aug 8
New in this version
Parenting schedule
- Fixed a case where the schedule preview showed one parent while the overnights were saved to someone else.
- Overnights are no longer assigned by mistake to a grandparent, a babysitter or a lawyer.
- A custom role can now be marked as a parent, so it counts in the parenting schedule.
- Parenting time percentages now count March correctly.
Privacy
- Expenses marked "just for me" are now truly private: they no longer appear in the other parent's list, monthly totals, charts or export.
- Private entries no longer show on the other parent's calendar, and duplicating a month no longer copies them.
Permissions
- Read-only access for lawyers and mediators now applies everywhere, including contacts, documents, sizes, checklists, gift ideas and tasks.
- Permissions you grant to grandparents and babysitters are now enforced on every screen, not just in the menu.
Notifications and chat
- Private chat messages now send a notification.
- Notifications arrive in each parent's own language, and no longer show role codes or raw dates.
- Fixed missing apostrophes in notification text.
- Chat times follow your 12-hour or 24-hour setting.
- The unread badge now clears once you have read the conversation.
Dates and time
- Fixed day arrows, week strips and reminders that could skip a day around daylight saving changes.
- Overnights around the daylight saving change now sync correctly to Google Calendar and the home screen widget.
- The calendar header now always shows which year you are looking at.
- Month names, dates and amounts follow your language everywhere, including PDF and Excel reports.
Money
- Amounts typed with a comma or with thousands separators are accepted in every language.
- The amount filter no longer hides expenses above its maximum.
- Your family currency is now used everywhere, including legal reports.
Reliability
- Saving a check-in, message, journal entry, swap request or comment no longer spins forever without a connection.
- Sharing and exporting now work on iPad.
- Safety Mode can be turned off from any of your devices, not only the one that turned it on.
- The exchange point is now saved even when location is unavailable.
- Error messages stay on screen long enough to read, and undo lasts long enough to tap.
- Clearing an activity's time or note, and deleting a size, now actually work.
- You can now delete documents from the vault.
