The free calm co-parenting app

Co-parenting is stressful.
We make it easier.

KidsFirst is a free co-parenting app with an AI Conflict Filter that rewrites hostile messages before they're sent — plus a shared calendar, expense tracking, and document storage, all in one place. Built by parents who've been there. Free, forever.

Our story

We've been where you are. So we built something better.

Our founder started this journey when he witnessed his own daughter caught in the crossfire of conflict between her separated parents. In that moment, he knew he had to do something to protect her — and other children like her.

We have been there. Your pain is ours.

Built by us, and you

Stop dreading
the notification bell.

You shouldn't have to choose between your mental stress and coordinating care for your child. We remove the friction so you can focus on being a parent.

Text without the trigger

Our app acts as a shield, rewriting hostile, aggressive language instantly. You receive the logistics — pickup times, locations — not the insults.

Hostile message · rewritten in real time

One shared reality

Eliminate the "you never told me" arguments. Keep a single, undeniable record of every pickup, drop-off, and school event.

Calendar · one source of truth

No more digging for documents

Stop searching through old texts and emails for school reports or vaccine records. Keep all shared files in one secure, organised library.

Documents · find in seconds

Money without the awkward talks

Stop fighting about who paid for what. Upload receipts, track expenses visibly, and settle debts without a face-to-face confrontation.

Expenses · transparent splits
A promise

Free. Always.

Other apps charge $100–300 a year. We've been on the wrong side of those bills. KidsFirst will always be free for parents — because the families who need this most are often the ones already paying for lawyers, court fees, and a second home.
