Co parenting app showing pick up and drop offs

Hi all,

Is there an app that can show a calendar relating to child custody. I've had a look at teamup but it doesn't breakdown the days into who does pick ups / drop offs etc.

I'm happy with a handwritten one but ex wants one online that he can look at.

Theres one that are over £100 per year which I cannot afford currently (2houses app)

Any advice? Attached is picture of arrangements that need documented.

Thanks

Could you not use Google Calendar and have a different colour for each parent?

We use TimeTree with different colours for different things. Could easily be used for pick ups and drop offs

Maybe I'm being really stupid but I can't see how Google calendars will work... Enlighten me! So for example...
Mum dropping off to school @ 7.30am on Wed 1st Sept
Dad picking up @ 16.30 on Wed 1st Sept keeping overnight until drop off to school 7.30am Thurs 2nd Sept.
Mum picking up @ 16.30 Thurs 2nd Sept keeping overnight x2 until Sat 4th Sept @ 10am.

I want something calendar like, that will show dad's colour occupying from 16.30 - 0730am on the Wed through to Thurs when I pick DS up at after school.

The way it currently looks, there's an 'overlap' on the Thursday as attached. I know I haven't explained this very well but I need something simple and visual for DS

We just use a spreadsheet, each day is split in to AM, PM and overnight.

Colour coded for times with Mom and times with Dad.

We have a shared watsapp that I screenshot the spreadsheet to each month.

Would something like that work?

Change the google calendar view to show hours.

Have you clicked 'aa day' rather than putting the times in? Block colour is all day and just the event info in the appropriate colour is how it displays on mine.

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 03/09/2021 12:56

All day *

Hi! I don't know if the need is still there.... My wife and I have also been having this problem for a while now: we often have to coordinate weekly (sometimes even during the day) about who picks up our little one. And I admit... I've almost forgotten a few times when it was my turn. Anyway... We were tired of constantly discussing it via WhatsApp. We then used an iCloud note, etc. But somehow that all felt awkward. Since I work in app development, I wrote an app. Just for this one purpose... Maybe you'd like to test it? I know several parents who have the same problem. I know – one more app. But if you have specific features in mind that you'd like, you could let me know and I'd be happy to add them as soon as possible.

With this Link for Apple Testflight you can load the App (and then use it for free for the test period, see the appstore message where you are told that you will not be charged as beta tester). The app is only a few days old. So it's as "alpha" as it gets... I would appreciate feedback. Perhaps this could create added value for others with this problem. You can also reach me out over [email protected]

Here you see the weekly plan where you can assign who's turn it is...
