For high-conflict situations
When talking is hard, structure helps.
GrownUps is in development. Leave your email and we’ll tell you the day it’s ready — that’s the only email you’ll get.
High-conflict co-parenting has a counter-intuitive fix: reduce the number of decisions that need a conversation. That is what parallel parenting means — each parent runs their own home their own way, and the overlap is kept small and predictable. The app’s job is to shrink that overlap further.
A single channel replaces the scattered texts, emails and handover-gate exchanges that each become their own argument. The schedule is set once and then simply runs, so “whose day is it” stops being a question. A built-in pause shows you your own message before it sends — a moment to send the calmer version — and every message, handover and expense is recorded automatically, so nobody has to keep their own tally.
The record is there so you can stop worrying about remembering; it is not a case, and GrownUps is not built to help you make one. If a lawyer or mediator ever needs a clean copy, you can export everything for free. What the app is really for is lowering the temperature — fewer exchanges, fewer flashpoints, and more of the day spent parenting rather than managing the other parent.
Questions
Good to know.
Is GrownUps free?
Yes — free for both parents, with no per-parent fee and no paywall on your own records. Exporting your data is free forever.
Does it work if my co-parent won’t join?
Yes. Every core feature works for one parent alone; when your co-parent joins, everything lines up automatically.
Does GrownUps track my location?
No. Location on a handover is optional and, if you use it, a single snapshot the moment you tap — never continuous tracking.
Free, and yours
One calm place, free for both of you.
Works for one parent before the other joins. No per-parent fee, and your record is yours to export, always.
