An app for separated parents Tuesday, 18:10. Luca needs picking up from school tomorrow.
Ioana has a meeting. Andrei can do it. When both parents are in Coparenta, the change reaches the calendar only once the other parent accepts it. Luca's schedule, what he takes to each handover and his routine are here too, visible to both.
- Coparenta is free during the launch period.
- You can start on your own.
- Coparenta does not track your phone’s location.
A day changes. Here’s what that looks like in Coparenta.
Four steps, from the first message to the day changed in the calendar. An example with the app’s demo family: Andrei and Ioana, Maria (9) and Luca (6).
- 18:10Messages
Ioana writes in the family conversation.
Not in some group chat, between photos from work. The conversation sits next to the schedule, where you can both find it.
- 18:12Day swaps
Andrei asks for Wednesday.
Nothing changes yet. Wednesday is still Ioana’s, marked as a pending request. The calendar doesn’t move before she answers.
- 18:14The calendar
Ioana accepts. Only now.
Wednesday moves to Andrei. You both see the same calendar — handover days, public holidays, school breaks.
- Wednesday, 15:30Handover and journal
Andrei picks Luca up.
The “What the child takes along” list tells him what should be in the school bag. The antibiotic — 5 ml in the morning — is in Luca’s journal, where Ioana noted it.
First steps
First steps, at your own pace.
Four short guides; the clips show the app’s Romanian interface, and the full guide is in Romanian.
And the rest of the week.
Day swaps are only one part. Coparenta also keeps the small things from the rest of the week, so you stop digging through old messages.
Handovers
The agreed day, time and place, plus a list of what goes in the bag — you tick it off every time. You get a reminder before your turn begins.
Expenses
Shared expenses and amounts to settle, with filters by type, by child and by period. Child support is tracked separately, marked each month as paid or not.
The child’s profile
Blood type, allergies, doctor, emergency contact, bedtime — at hand when it matters.
Grandparents
You can invite a grandparent, for example, with view-only access to the custody schedule and the calendar — including vacations and special days — and to journal notes shared by parents, except those in the «Health» category. They cannot see reflections or journal history. They don’t see expenses, messages between the two of you, or private notes.
You don’t start from scratch.
Have a schedule in a court order, holidays you’ve already agreed, receipts on your phone or expenses in a spreadsheet? You can bring them into Coparenta. Nothing is read automatically from documents or photos: you give the answers and the amounts. Each point below also says what it can’t do.
The schedule from your order
“I have a court order or an agreement” asks you step by step: who the child lives with, how often, from when to when. You answer with the document beside you, then check the schedule on the calendar. Coparenta doesn’t read the document: you give the answers. Different schedules for different children, and numbered weekends of the month (for example the 1st and 3rd), can’t be transcribed here.
Holidays from the calculator
The choices from the holiday calculator on this site (in Romanian: Christmas, New Year, Orthodox Easter, 1 June) reach the assistant through the “Compare your choices in the app” button. The app shows them next to its own rules, marked “Same”, “Different” or “Missing”, but doesn’t write them into the calendar: a rule that differs is one you change yourself, under Occasions. School holidays don’t come from the calculator.
Several receipts from your gallery
In Expenses you pick up to 10 photos from your gallery, and the form goes through them one by one: “Receipt 1 of 4”, “Receipt 2 of 4”. You type the amount yourself, it isn’t read from the photo, and on each receipt you choose the actual date of the expense.
Expenses from a spreadsheet
From Excel or Google Sheets you save the table as a CSV file (a plain file with values separated by commas or semicolons), then pick it in Expenses, under Export, “Import from Excel / Sheets”. Only what you paid goes in, at most 500 rows at a time, in the currency from Settings, with the actual date from the table. Rows with problems are marked and don’t go in.
Who it is for
This isn’t an organizer for every kind of family.
Coparenta is for separated parents coordinating their children's schedule and daily life across two homes. Here, each day needs to be clear to both parents.
They don’t see where you are. They see your child’s schedule.
You both see
- The child’s schedule, day by day
- Handovers: day, time, place
- Day swaps, once confirmed
- Shared expenses and amounts to settle
- The family conversation
- Journal notes left as shared
Stays yours
- Journal notes marked private
- Where you are — Coparenta does not track your phone’s location
And if, at first, it’s just you?
You choose: every day with you, in a single colour, or the schedule you follow now, as a record just for you. It’s your calendar, not an agreed schedule, and you can add events. When the other parent joins, you set up the shared schedule together.
Support for parents
What you can read and who you can talk to.
In the app
Materials written by psychologists
The app links to therapeutic stories, articles and interactive guides in Romanian. The materials belong to their authors and open on their websites.
In the app
Ask a specialist
You can send a question in the app. The therapist sees only the question, without your name or email address. The answer is general: it is not an assessment and does not replace counselling or a professional opinion. Not every question receives an answer.
Not for emergencies. Immediate danger: 112. Abuse or neglect: 119. Domestic violence: 0800 500 333 (Romania).
In the app
Talk to a therapist
The app lists therapy centres in a few cities in Romania and takes you to their website. You arrange booking, fees and confidentiality directly with the centre. Coparenta doesn’t send the centre any data about you or your children and gets no financial benefit from it.
In the app
A lawyer or a mediator
The app doesn’t find you a lawyer or put you in touch with one. It opens the public directory of Romanian lawyers (UNBR) and the public register of mediators, so you can search yourself. Coparenta doesn’t replace a lawyer and doesn’t give advice on your situation.

Free calculator · no account
Who has the children this Christmas?
The calculator shows a five-year example of alternating the holidays year by year — Christmas, New Year, Orthodox Easter, 1 June — plus the school holidays, with approximate dates. It is free and requires no account. In Romanian.
Pricing
Coparenta is free during the launch period.
At a later date, we intend to introduce a subscription per family, paid by only one parent; the invited parent never pays. We will notify you by email and in the app at least 30 days before the subscription becomes required. Subscription takes place only through your explicit action, in the App Store or on Google Play. If you choose not to subscribe, we will not delete anything you have created.
Why I built Coparenta
«I built Coparenta because I needed it myself. Coordinating children's lives across two homes brings the same questions every week — who is picking them up, who paid, what changed. I wanted the answers to sit in one place.»
“80% of emotional problems are actually unaddressed administrative problems.”
What parents ask before they start.
The short answer comes first. Details only where they help.
- Will they see where I am and what I'm doing?
- No. Coparenta does not track your phone’s location. The other parent only sees the information you use in the shared space.
- What can I see, and what can the other parent see?
- You both see the schedule, the family conversation, shared expenses and journal notes left as shared. A note marked private stays with its author. If it was shared before, shared versions may remain in the history accessible to parents. Notes in the «Health» category are excluded from this history. About private notes and the history of shared versions
- If they refuse to join, was my work for nothing?
- No. You can start the calendar with your own schedule and add events. The conversation opens as soon as the other parent joins. Day swaps need one more step: setting up the shared schedule together.
- What happens if they don't stick to the schedule?
- The original schedule and every accepted change stay clear. You can record what happened separately in the journal without rewriting the original plan.
- Can anyone else see this, besides the two of us?
- Yes. You can invite a grandparent, for example, with view-only access to the custody schedule and the calendar — including vacations and special days — and to journal notes shared by parents, except those in the «Health» category. They cannot see reflections or journal history. They don't see expenses, messages between the two of you, private notes or uploaded documents. They join the shared space with the agreement of the parents in it.
- Can I export something to show my lawyer?
- Yes. From Reports, you can export a PDF for the period and the parenting plan. The documents describe what is recorded in Coparenta; they do not prove time actually spent or serve as court orders.
- I already have a court order or an agreement. Can I start from it?
- Yes. In the app you open “I have a court order or an agreement”, answer a few questions with the document beside you, and see the schedule on the calendar. Coparenta doesn’t read the document: you give the answers. For expenses, you can pick several receipt photos from your gallery and go through them one by one, but the amount isn’t read automatically. If your expenses are in an Excel or Google Sheets table, you import them from a CSV file (the table saved as a plain file). You choose the actual date of each expense, and on import it comes from the table.
- How do I get started?
- Create your shared space, add your children and record a schedule for yourself, then agree on one together. See the first steps
