For separated and divorced parents

Whose day is it, and where's the handoff?

Custody Captain turns your parenting plan into a shared schedule that fills itself in — repeating weeks, alternating holidays, approved swaps, and handoff details both parents can see.

No credit card to start. Syncs with the calendar app you already use.

Built for the parts that cause arguments

Most shared calendars make you type in every single day. This one works from rules, so the schedule is always right and the exceptions are the only thing you touch.

  • Your plan becomes the calendar

    Set the weekly pattern and alternating weekends once. Every future month fills itself in, years ahead.

  • Holidays that move

    Rules like the fourth Thursday of November alternate by year automatically, with a preview so you can check before you rely on it.

  • Handoff times and places

    Every changeover day shows when and where, so nobody waits in the wrong parking lot.

  • Changes get approved, not assumed

    One parent proposes a swap, the other approves. Pending days are marked so nothing is a surprise.

  • A record you can't edit

    Every change is logged with who, when, and what changed — useful if a disagreement ever needs sorting out.

  • On both phones, no app to install

    Subscribe from a link and the schedule appears in Google, Apple, or Outlook calendars, reminders included.

Paperwork stays with the schedule

Keep the parenting plan and court orders in the same private place as the calendar they govern, and print any range of months as a PDF when someone needs it on paper.
