Kidside
A shield and a referee
Co-parenting after a separation runs on a document nobody can find and a memory nobody shares. Kidside reads the order, keeps the record, and prints it in a form somebody else can check.

Three screens you will actually open
Who has them right now, and what happens next
The month in two colours, with the nights counted
An answer, badged with what it rests on
Screens from the current build, shown with a sample family.
Written from one parent’s chair
Kidside works fully for one parent on their own — that is the design, not a limitation of an unfinished version. If the other parent joins later, the same record gains a messenger; if they never do, nothing you have built stops working.
Your order becomes the calendar
Upload the parenting order and it is read on the device: the rotation, the exchange times, the holiday rules and which party you are. Nothing to type in, and nothing sent anywhere to do it.
What the order said, and what happened
The calendar draws both. A one-off swap is a deviation, not a new schedule, and the report can list every day that differed from the order.
Check in at the handover
One tap at the exchange records the time and, if you allow it, the place. Lateness is computed against the order rather than remembered afterwards.
Money, with the split rules from the order
Photograph a receipt, and the category’s split rule comes from your order. A running balance of who owes whom, and a reimbursement request with a deadline on it.
One evidence timeline
Incidents, check-ins, computed no-shows, expenses and diary entries in one feed you can filter by child, type or period — and collect into a report.
Ask the referee
“Whose weekend is the 4th of July?” Every answer is either arithmetic over your calendar or your own document quoted back. It never writes prose, and it says when your order does not cover the question.
A document that says what it can and cannot prove
Everything on the timeline collects into a PDF for a lawyer or a hearing: the nights counted, the days that differed from the order, the exchanges and their timings, the money. Every record carries two timestamps — when it happened and when it was written down — because a note made within the hour is worth more than one reconstructed a month later, and flattening the two would overstate the record.
The report carries an integrity digest and a report ID that can be read aloud. It proves the file has not been edited since it was made. It proves nothing about whether the records are true — and the report says exactly that, in those words.
The referee reads your document back to you
It cannot generate prose. Every sentence it produces is arithmetic over your calendar or a fixed frame around a clause quoted verbatim from your order, and a clause has to be about the subject you asked about to be quoted at all. When your order does not cover the question, it says so instead of guessing. It is not a lawyer and does not give legal advice — see the Terms of Use.

Free for survivors of domestic abuse and legal-aid recipients
The people most likely to need a documented record are often the least able to pay for one. If you are a survivor of domestic abuse, or you receive legal aid, write to us and we will waive the fee. We do not ask for proof of what happened to you.
How to ask — one email, no form.
The order and the geotags stay on your phone
A parenting order names your children, your address and, often, allegations. It is read on the device and is not a document we ask you to hand to a server for convenience.
Check-in locations never leave the phone either. They are evidence for the parent who recorded them — nothing outgoing may read them, and they surface only in a report you chose to export. The Privacy Policy sets out the rest.
