Co-parenting communication, web and iPhone

The marriage ends.The messages don't.

Clearly is a co-parenting communication system. Talk things through, settle them, and keep one record you both trust, in any browser or on iPhone. Your lawyer or mediator can see it when you choose, and both parents always know.

Clearly on the web: Today, showing who has the kids, what needs an answer and what's coming up
The same Today screen in the Clearly iPhone app

[01] The problem

Separation doesn't reduce communication. It increases it.

Pickups. Dentists. Permission slips. Who has Thanksgiving. You'll talk to your co-parent more than you ever expected. Most of it isn't the hard part. How it goes is.

Every text about Tuesday pickup carries the weight of everything that came before it.

[02] How Clearly is different

Other apps give you a thread. Clearly gets you to an answer.

Every conversation in Clearly is a topic with one job: get to an answer you both accept. Most go straight through. When one starts to go sideways, Clearly steps in like a mediator would, and only then. So decisions get made, and the kids stay out of the middle.

  1. 1

    Raise it.

    One topic, one question.

    What they type“You NEVER tell me anything about Ava’s school!”
  2. 2

    Clearly steps in.

    Only when it’s needed.

    Reframed by Clearly“Can you add me to Ava’s school emails?”
  3. 3

    Answer it.

    Yes, No, or a proposal.

    Your answer“Yes, I’ll add you today.”
  4. 4

    Settle it.

    Clearly writes it up. You both accept.

    Agreed“Both parents get the school emails.” ✓ both accepted

Stuck? Clearly shows where it stands and suggests options based on what you’ve both said.

Less back-and-forth. Real answers. Kids out of the middle.

Built on the principles of mediation and the Harvard Negotiation Project's Getting to Yes.

[03] Why parents switch

Built to resolve, not just record.

Most co-parenting apps were built to keep score. Clearly was built to help you stop keeping it. See how we compare →

[04] Court-ready records

For the record, it’s court-ready. Just in case.

Export the whole record or just the part that matters, as a PDF made for a lawyer, a mediator or a judge. Every page carries a document ID, and anyone can check that nothing in it has changed.

A page of a Clearly record: a topic with every reply in order, each entry numbered with the time it was sent, who sent it and when the other parent first read it. The cover of a Clearly record of communications for a fictional family: parents, children, period, time zone, counts of topics and messages, and a box with a QR code and document ID to check it is genuine.
A sample record from the fictional Taylor family

Checkable by anyone

Every page has the document’s ID and its own page number. Scan the code or drop the file into getclearly.app/verify, and Clearly confirms it made that exact file.

Every word, as written

Messages can’t be edited or deleted, by anyone. Each entry is numbered, timed by Clearly’s server and shows when the other parent first read it.

The whole record, or an exhibit

Everything at once, or narrowed to the dates, parent, topic or words that matter, with a summary of parenting time and expenses.

Facts, never conclusions

The parents’ own words, with no scores. Show your children as initials, and sign a declaration if your court asks for one.

[05] The logistics

And yes, it does the logistics. Beautifully.

The calendar, the money and every little detail, in one place you both trust.

Clearly's shared custody calendar Schedule

Snap the receipt. Clearly does the math. Tap Pay to settle up in Venmo, Cash App or PayPal.

The shared parenting plan, kids' details and contacts in Clearly Shared

The plan, the allergies, the pediatrician's number. Always current, for both of you.

[07] Questions

Good questions.

The ones parents ask before they download. More in the full FAQ →

Does my co-parent have to pay?

Nope. One subscription covers you both. Your co-parent joins free with your invite code.

Does Clearly take sides?

Never. Clearly doesn't label anyone or pick a winner. When Clearly helps with wording, it's for your own message, and you always decide what to send.

Does Clearly work in my language?

Yes. Write in Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog or most other languages, and Clearly’s suggested wording and written-up agreements come back in your language. The app’s menus are in English for now.

Can I export the record?

Yes. Every topic and reply is timestamped and kept exactly as written. Export the whole record, or an exhibit of just what matters, as a court-ready PDF, or everything as a spreadsheet. Every page carries a document ID that anyone can check at getclearly.app/verify.

Is Clearly on Android?

Yes, in your browser. Clearly on the web works on any Android phone or computer at web.getclearly.app, with the same account and record as the iPhone app. Add it to your home screen in Chrome and it opens like an app.

What happens if we stop subscribing?

Clearly goes read-only. Your records stay viewable and exportable. Want to look around first? Try the free demo, no account needed.
