A custody calendar that knows whose day it is.

Most separated parents start with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or a family app — and the same failure repeats. A shared calendar only works if both people enter things, and in practice one parent quietly becomes the default calendar manager: chasing confirmations, re-typing school dates, and screenshotting texts to prove something was communicated. A custody calendar has jobs a generic one was never built for — drawing the parenting-time pattern itself, handling swaps without losing the decision, and keeping evidence that the other household was told.

ParentBridge starts from the custody schedule, not an empty grid. The setup wizard turns your pattern — week-on-week-off, 2-2-3, alternating weekends, weekdays, or fully custom — into a filled-in calendar with handoff times, so "whose day is it?" is answered by a glance at a color-coded week. Events carry categories (medical, school, sports, social) both homes can read at a glance, and it all works even in solo co-parenting mode, where the other parent gets updates by email or text with no app on their side.

Real custody schedules change. In ParentBridge a swap request is attached to the exact dates it affects; the other parent approves, declines, or counters, and the outcome stays with the calendar instead of vanishing into a message thread. School event season stops being data entry: Premium calendar sync subscribes to external iCal feeds — a school's published calendar, for instance — so concerts and early dismissals land on the right custody days automatically, next to the health and school records they relate to.

Handoffs get the same treatment as events: each exchange is a card you confirm with the real time it happened, with optional one-time location proof on Premium. Those confirmations — alongside the schedule itself and every swap decision — can be exported as court-ready records when you need to show a mediator or attorney what actually happened, not what everyone remembers.
