FamCheckthe co-parenting calendar
Family checklists, sitter instructions & custody calendar

Everyone who looks after your kids stays in the loop.

Babysitters tick the checklist off as they finish it, in their own language. Everyone knows the schedule weeks ahead. Change of plans? No problem. And if a court ever needs the record, it is already there.

DanaMarcusSplit day = a handoff
Nights this month16 · 14
Tap any day to change whose it is. The nights count themselves.

Whose day it is

Highlight the month with a finger. Split days, holidays, the 2-2-3, whatever your order says. Nights count themselves.

Handoffs that hold

Every change of plan is written down with who asked and when. The morning of a handoff, a quiet reminder.

A record that proves itself

Print it for the mediator or the judge. One tap takes a certified copy anyone can verify.

Calm, and on the record

Fewer arguments about the schedule, because the schedule is not in anyone's head.

1
One source of truthBoth parents see the same month, in each person's own colour. Nothing to "forward" and nothing to dispute.
2
Changes are visibleSwap a Thursday and the record shows who asked, what changed, and when. No screenshots of texts.
3
Everyone gets exactly their partThe sitter gets tonight's list. Grandma gets her week. A guardian ad litem gets a read-only window. Nobody gets an account.
4
A private tab of your ownYour notes, your appointments, your reminders. The other parent never sees it, by design.

What it does

Built for the week you actually have.

Highlight whose day it is

Tap a parent, drag across the month. Half a day is a handoff. Holidays and school breaks highlight the same way, and the nights tally at the side keeps the count honest.

  • Split days, alternating weeks, 2-2-3, any pattern your order describes
  • Nights per parent, counted for you, every month
  • Colours you choose, so the calendar reads at a glance

Handoffs and changes of plan

When a day changes hands, the change is written into the record with who asked, when, and why. No screenshots of texts. The morning of a handoff, a quiet reminder on the phone.

  • Every change of plan kept, with who asked and when
  • Handoff notes: what is in the bag, what happened at school
  • A "since you last looked" line, so nobody misses a change

A record a court can verify

Print the month, or the year, as a clean document. One tap takes a certified copy: paste it at the verify page and it says whether one character has changed since it left the calendar. Your attorney does not have to take our word for it.

  • Court-ready print with a document header
  • A certified copy, signed by us, checked in seconds
  • Model order language for attorneys who want to require it

The people around your family

A sitter link with tonight's list, and a tick when it is done. A grandparent link with her week. A read-only window for a guardian ad litem, with every look logged. No accounts, no app to install, and you can turn any link off in one tap.

  • Sitter list: bedtime, medicine, the thing that always gets forgotten
  • She reads it in her own language, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Mandarin or Russian, and you read it back in English
  • Observer link for professionals, with a court reference and a log of views
  • Share link for the whole calendar, read only, rotate it any time

Your own private tab

Your therapist appointment, your court date, the note to yourself. It sits on the same calendar and the other parent cannot see it, not by setting, by design. It is where a lot of people keep the things they need to keep.

  • Private events and notes, never shared, never printed unless you choose
  • Works with a passkey on your phone, no password to be guessed
  • Sign out everywhere in one tap if a device goes missing

Expenses, without the spreadsheet

Log the dentist, the cleats, the school trip, and who paid. Keep the receipt in the document locker, next to the schedule it belongs to, and print it all with the record.

  • Who paid, and what for
  • Receipts and screenshots in the locker, never on the share link
  • Prints with the rest of the record

Made for parents, and for everyone else who looks after your kids.

A record you can verify

A certified copy is signed by us. Paste it at the verify page and it says, in seconds, whether anything was changed.

✓

Private by design

We never show you an advertisement, and no outside company’s code runs on these pages. A plain count of page views, never a person, and no profile of you or your children. We do buy search ads: if you clicked one, we keep that click id and hand back the one step it led to, which the privacy page sets out in full. Passkeys instead of passwords.

Works for your situation

Two parents splitting the week. One parent with four sitters. A family taking turns looking after someone who needs a hand.

What a judge would see

This is the actual record. Not a mockup.

A certified copy from FamCheck is a signed file like this one, issued from a sample family. The fingerprint covers the whole schedule, the signature covers the fingerprint, and the verify page checks both against our issuance record. Change one entry and it fails.

  • Signed by us, checkable by anyone, with no account.
  • Shows who asked for a change of plan, what changed, and when.
  • It attests that the file is unaltered. It does not attest that the entries are true. The parents wrote them, and the file says so.

If the other parent set this up

Been asked to use this? Here is what it is, and what it is not.

  • You see the same calendar they see. Nothing on it is hidden from you.
  • Your private tab is yours. The other parent cannot read it, and neither can we.
  • Nobody can pull the record out from under you. One parent alone cannot delete a calendar two parents are on.
  • You can leave, and take your own things with you.
  • No password to be guessed, no email to be watched. A passkey on your own phone.

The living checklist

Write the evening down once. It goes out every time.

This is the part the app is named after. Not a note you text and hope she read. A checklist she works through while she is there, that tells you what actually happened.

  1. Write the evening once.Each child keeps their own routine: bedtime, the inhaler and where it lives, no screens after seven. You write it when you think of it, not at six o’clock on a Friday with your coat on.
  2. Send it in one tap.Choose who is coming and the hours. Tap same as last time and last week’s list comes back with the same window. The second sitter of the week is three taps and a name.
  3. She ticks it off as she goes.She opens a link. No account, no app, nothing to install, and it reads in her own language if English is not it. Dinner, bath, medicine, lights out, ticked as each one happens, not remembered at the end.
  4. It comes back to you, in English.You see what was done and when. If something did not happen she says so and why, in her words, and that comes back too. Then the evening is on your calendar and in your record, for good.
Why we call it living: nothing here is a printout. Change a child’s routine and every link you send after that carries the change. Turn a link off and it is off that second. And the ticks are not decoration. They are the record of the evening, which is the thing you actually wanted.

This is what the sitter sees.On her own phone, from a link. No account.

How we compare

Three things we do differently.

Every line below quotes the other companies’ own pages. Where somebody else does the same thing, we say so.

✓ Hand a sitter a link. She needs no account.

One tap, no app, no sign-up, nothing to install. She opens tonight’s checklist, ticks each thing off as she finishes it, and you watch it come back. Turn the link off whenever you like.

  • × OurFamilyWizard: a third party has to be given their own account in the system
  • × TalkingParents: their own help pages say only two accounts can be matched, and that they do not offer third‑party access for legal professionals
  • × AppClose: the invited person still has to accept an invitation and hold an account

✓ Nobody gets locked out because somebody stopped paying.

One subscription covers the whole household, so the other parent never loses access over money. Sitters, grandparents and professionals are free, and always will be.

  • × TalkingParents: their own help pages state that a co‑parent who is not paying will not be able to view or respond to messages
  • × OurFamilyWizard: each parent buys and pays for a separate account
  • × AppClose: one price on the web, a higher one through the app, by their own footnote
  • ✓ 2houses: does this too, and says so on their own pricing page, where one parent subscribes and the whole family gets in. They charge $14.17 a month for it

✓ The checklist reads in her language. It comes back in yours.

English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Mandarin and Russian. You write once in English and you always read it back in English. Our own words and every label we print are translated by hand, exactly, and cannot drift. A sentence you type in your own words stays in your words, and her checklist tells her so in her language. No AI anywhere near a child’s medicine.

  • × Across five of these products’ own home pages, the words nanny, sitter, babysitter and caregiver appear no times at all
  • × Not one of them documents instructions in a second language for the person actually watching your children
See the full comparison

✓ Anyone can check a record is genuine, free

One tap takes a certified copy, and anybody can check it at famcheck.co/verify with no account.

  • × OurFamilyWizard: verification for an outside party runs through a paid records affidavit with published per‑page fees

✓ No ads in the app, and no third‑party analytics either

Two separate promises, and we keep both. We never show you an advertisement, and no outside company’s code runs on these pages. We do buy search ads ourselves, and if you arrived from one we keep that click id: the privacy page says exactly what goes back.

  • × 2houses: their own privacy policy describes an advertising partner using cookies and web beacons across sites
  • × Every one of the products we checked discloses at least one third‑party analytics provider in its own privacy policy

✓ Change a repeating event once, not forty times

A repeat is one record with a rule, so editing or ending it changes the whole series. A single day can still be struck out on its own.

  • × Only two of the six products we checked clearly let you edit a whole series afterwards; their own reviewers complain about editing each event by hand

✓ Half days, because handoffs happen at teatime

A day can be split between two people and it shows as a split day on the calendar.

  • × No product in this category even uses the words “half day” in its own documentation

✓ It works if the other parent never joins

Nothing here waits on them. Your calendar, your record, your sitter links, on your own.

  • × Several of these products expect, or require, the other parent to be matched to your account first

✓ Every professional’s look is logged, and you both see the log

A guardian ad litem gets a read‑only window with a court reference. Every view is recorded, both parents can read that record, and taking the access away is recorded too rather than done quietly.

  • × Where these products log professional access at all, none of them documents that the log is visible to both parents

✓ A private tab the other parent can never see

Your own appointments and notes live in their own place, with no way to share it and no button that could.

✓ Stop paying the moment you want to

One tap from inside the app, and seven days to change your mind and keep everything. Take your whole record with you, or have it destroyed.

  • × Billing or cancellation trouble is named in about one in ten of this category’s negative app‑store reviews, in an independent hand‑coded study of 342 of them

✓ Two useful things, free, with no account at all

A babysitter instruction sheet and a custody schedule maker. No sign‑up, nothing kept.

Every line above was checked against each company’s own web pages, help centres and privacy policies on 16 September 2026, and quotes their own words rather than anyone’s opinion. Company names are used only to say factually what their products do. Prices change, so the money is set out separately, with dates and sources, on our comparison page, which also lists what FamCheck does not do.

If the person who helps you does not read English

A Spanish nanny and a Russian nanny can split the same week.

You write the evening once, in English. She reads it in her own language and taps the same boxes. It comes back to you in English. No app to install, no account for her, and no machine between a nanny and a dose.

Six languages, todayEnglish, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, Mandarin and Russian. The whole sitter page, not just a few labels: the buttons, the headings, the care structure and the lines that come up in real evenings.
No machine near a medicineThe translation is fixed and written by hand, not generated. A translator that renders a dose or an allergy slightly wrong is the worst thing this product could do, so there is no model anywhere in that path.
Her words reach you as her wordsA line she types herself arrives exactly as she wrote it, and a line we know shows in her language with the English kept underneath. Two readings of a medicine line are safer than one.

Written for real South Florida households, where the person collecting your children may speak Spanish or Haitian Creole and the person putting them to bed may speak Russian or Portuguese. No other co‑parenting or family calendar we could find documents instructions in a second language for the caregiver at all. Try the free babysitter sheet with no sign‑up.

What it costs

One price for the whole family, because we bill per family, not per parent.

$9.99 / month

The calendar is free for good, no card. The full plan is free for your first week: you add a card to start it, nothing is charged for seven days, and one tap cancels before then. Sitters, grandparents and professionals join by link, free, with no account. Cancel any time, and take your record with you.
