Why Co-Kids exists
An app born in a real separated family
I'm a dad of two, divorced, with shared custody. Like many separated parents, we noted the kids' expenses in a WhatsApp conversation: school lunch, judo, shoes, the dentist…
Over time, that conversation got complicated: impossible to know who had paid what, who owed how much to the other. Every money talk could become a source of tension.
I built Co-Kids for us — then I realised other families were going through the same thing. One non-negotiable rule from day one: my children's lives will not end up on a server. Everything runs on your device, and what syncs between parents is end-to-end encrypted.
I hope this program takes a few of the small everyday stresses off separated parents' shoulders. That's all that matters.
