Description
Custody Guardian is a private, offline-first documentation app for parents, guardians, and caregivers managing custody, co-parenting, and family court situations.
Built with a fast tap-first design, Custody Guardian helps you record important events clearly and consistently without needing to type long notes every time. Log incidents, custody exchanges, communication issues, expenses, schedule changes, medication history, and court dates — all in one place, on your iPhone.
Whether you are preparing for mediation, tracking recurring issues, or simply trying to stay organized, Custody Guardian gives you a structured way to keep accurate records over time.
Key Features
Incident Log
Quickly document problems using pre-built categories and scenarios such as late pickup, no-show, safety concerns, child condition issues, boundary violations, money disputes, and school concerns.
Exchange Log
Track drop-offs and pickups in just a few taps. Record lateness, no-shows, child condition, and anything important said during the exchange.
Communication Log
Log calls, in-person discussions, sent messages, received messages, ignored messages, tone, response time, and red flags such as threats, insults, manipulation, or last-minute plan changes.
Expense Tracker
Track shared child-related expenses, reimbursement requests, receipts, split percentages, payment status, and running balances.
Custody Schedule
Set up a custody arrangement, view the schedule in calendar form, confirm whether days went as planned, and record deviations from the agreed arrangement.
Court Date Tracker
Keep court hearings, mediation sessions, filing deadlines, attorney meetings, and reminders organized in one place.
Evidence Attachments
Attach photos, screenshots, receipts, and related evidence to entries for better record keeping.
PDF Export
Generate professional PDF reports for incidents, communications, finances, schedule deviations, or full documentation summaries.
Privacy First
Your data stays on your device by default. No account required. No analytics. No tracking. No cloud sync by default.
Optional AI Assistance
Some features may optionally use AI writing help if you choose to enable it with your own API key and explicit consent. This is optional and can be turned off at any time.
Security Features
Supports device-level protection features such as Face ID, Touch ID, and passcode locking.
Custody Guardian is designed to help you stay organized, document patterns, and maintain clearer records during difficult co-parenting or custody situations.
