ptchwrk

About

ptchwrk is the app for parents who live apart. One shared calendar, clear care times, fair expense splitting and a calm channel for arrangements: everything in one place, equally visible to both sides. WHO HAS THE KIDS WHEN Choose your care model (50/50 alternating, extended visitation, residency or custom), and ptchwrk fills the calendar for both homes automatically. Changes to the model need both parents' approval. SWAP DAYS WITHOUT ARGUING A date doesn't work? Propose a swap and the other parent confirms with one tap. For vacations or school holidays there are special arrangements spanning several days. A swap balance always shows who has cared more or less than planned. EVENTS BOTH PARENTS REMEMBER Doctor, sports, parents' evening: events with a responsible parent and reminders to the right person. For exams, ptchwrk reminds both parents one week and two days ahead, so there is enough time to practise together, whichever home your child is in. School holidays for 32 countries appear in the calendar automatically. Import your own work calendar as availability without sharing details. SPLIT COSTS FAIRLY Record expenses, split them by percentage or fixed amount, mark them as paid. The balance shows who owes whom. To the cent, in your currency. COMMUNICATE CALMLY A family chat just for what concerns the children. Messages and members can be reported or blocked. MORE THAN MOM AND DAD Grandparents, step-parents, au pairs or relatives get their own access with exactly the permissions you grant. Children aged 13 and over can get their own, heavily restricted login with both parents' consent and see where they are when. GOOD TO KNOW Short editorial notes on topics like child support, benefits or tax questions in shared custody, matched to your country and your children's ages. Not legal advice, but a good starting point. PRIVACY Servers in Frankfurt, Germany. No ads, no tracking, no sharing with third parties. You can delete your account in the app at any time.
