Our story

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

Founder with child

KidsFirst is a free co-parenting app built by KidsFirst Vision, an Australian company founded by Vincent — a father who lived through high-conflict co-parenting with his own daughter. His journey began when he witnessed her caught in the crossfire of conflicts between her separated parents. At that moment, he knew he needed to do something to protect her.

He sought ways to reduce tensions with the other parent, but the more he tried, the more he realized that communication easily broke down — ironically, a major factor in their separation.

Meeting other divorced parents opened his eyes to a heartbreaking reality. Children were caught in the middle, alienated from one parent, or worse, abandoned entirely.

KidsFirst was born — a peaceful, effective platform for co-parents to discuss their children's needs. Today, the team at KidsFirst Vision continues that mission: finding better ways to communicate, and putting our kids first.

"We're improving day by day. If you have a thought, a feature, a frustration — we want to hear it."
