Co-parenting, made simple

Living apart, raising them together.

2forkids brings together everything two homes share around the children: the custody schedule, conversations, expenses, documents and memories. In one place, privately.

  • A clear custody schedule for everyone
  • Calm messages, time-stamped and kept
  • Balanced accounts, no spreadsheet

Free, with no subscription and no ads.

Features

The children’s daily life, shared between two homes

Each parent sees the same information at the same time. Fewer misunderstandings, fewer endless messages, more time for the kids.

  • Month or list view, with filters
  • Notifications to the right family members
  • Optional arrival check-in at an event
Shared expense balance: €38.75 to receive, with recent activity (French interface)

Shared expenses

Clear accounts between parents

  • Split by percentage, with a fixed contribution or in proportion to custody time
  • Real-time balance and settlement history
  • Receipts photographed and attached to the expense

    Health records, court orders, certificates: sorted in folders and encrypted file by file.

  • Shared lists

    Weekend bag, school supplies, groceries: lists everyone can tick.

  • A profile for each child

    Blood group, allergies, height and weight… an encrypted health sheet, always at hand.

  • The whole family

FAQ

You may be wondering…

Is the app paid?

The app is free for every family member, with no ads, within the free plan (1 family, 3 conversations, 8 members, 300 MB). The Premium subscription (€6.99 a month) lifts these limits and includes the advanced services (certified export, check-in, AI analysis), otherwise paid with tokens sold in packs.

I used the former 2forkids app: how do I sign in?

Your account, your family and your data have been moved. Sign in with the same e-mail address and the same password.

If you signed in with Google, Apple or Facebook, tap “Forgot password”: you will receive a code by e-mail to choose a password. You can also receive a sign-in code by e-mail. If you had a subscription on the former app, manage it from your App Store or Google Play account.

How do I invite the other parent or a relative?

Open your family, then the member list, and send an invitation by e-mail or QR code. The invited person creates an account, or signs in, then joins the family.

Who can read our messages and documents?

Only the members of your family who have access to them. Messages, documents, photos and sensitive information are encrypted with a key that belongs to your family and stays on your devices: not even the 2forkids team can read them.

I changed phones and some data is missing

On the new device, open Settings then Security: link it from a device that is already signed in (QR code), or restore access with your PIN or your recovery document.

I forgot my password

On the sign-in screen, tap “Forgot password” and enter your e-mail address. You will receive a 6-digit code, valid for 10 minutes, to choose a new password.

How do I delete my account?

In the app: Profile, then “Delete my account”. You can also ask us by e-mail. All the details are on the dedicated page.
