Everything Custody Captain does

It works from rules instead of typed-in days, so the calendar stays right for years and you only ever touch the exceptions.

The schedule builds itself

  • Set which weekdays belong to each parent and it repeats every week, forever.
  • Alternating weekends rotate from one anchor weekend, so future years are already correct.
  • Every day is colored by whoever has the children, with today clearly marked.
  • One time zone decides where a day starts and ends, so both parents see the same thing.

Holidays, the way plans actually write them

  • Fixed dates like December 25, and moving dates like the fourth Thursday of November.
  • Holidays alternate by year from a starting year and parent.
  • Stretch a holiday across extra days before or after.
  • Mark a holiday as label-only when the normal schedule still applies.
  • A five-year preview shows exactly which dates and which parent, before you rely on it.

Changes with a paper trail

  • Either parent proposes a swap, birthday, or vacation block.
  • Proposed days appear outlined until the other parent approves them.
  • Approve, reject, or apply immediately when you both already agree.
  • Every action is written to a history that can never be edited or deleted, by anyone.

Handoffs without the phone tag

  • Default weekday and weekend handoff time, place, and method.
  • Override the details for a single day when something is different.
  • Handoff details travel with the calendar feed, so they're on both phones.
  • Add a note to any day for reminders like a sports bag or medication.

Counts and paperwork

  • Overnight totals and percentage split for any date range.
  • Export the day-by-day schedule as a spreadsheet.
  • Print or save any run of months as a clean PDF, one month per page.
  • Store the parenting plan and court orders privately alongside the calendar.

Sharing, on everyone's terms

  • A live calendar link that works in Google, Apple, and Outlook calendars.
  • Reminders the day before and two hours before each handoff.
  • View-only links for grandparents, sitters, or an attorney — no account needed.
  • Turn off any shared link the moment you want to.
  • Layer school, sports, and work calendars over the custody schedule.
