All features Keep schedules aligned

Shared Calendar

Manage custody schedules, school events, appointments, and activities in one shared space that you and your co-parent can access.

Schedule details and changes can get missed when they live across texts, emails, and other apps. Shared Calendar helps you stay on the same page with fewer follow-ups, clearer expectations, and smoother coordination.

Our Shared Calendar feature is here to keep you and your co-parent in sync with minimal back and forth. Easily plan events, manage custody exchanges, and coordinate appointments and activities on a single calendar. Providing all the features you'd expect from a calendar app, including the ability to add color labels and create repeating events. The Shared Calendar also displays timestamps of when an event has been viewed, created, and edited. Each co-parent can only modify or delete events that they've created, and the other parent will be notified if a change has been made. Plus, all activity is documented in your calendar record. With TalkingParents, you can stay informed and on the same page for all the important dates in your children's lives.

Add suggested events from Secure Messaging threads to the calendar.
Cancel a single occurrence within an event series if your plans change.
If there’s a last-minute change, update the event and send a message.
Split multiple commitments on the same day into individual entries.

“When you think you’re crazy or when something gets miscommunicated, and you’re like, ‘I swear I put that on the calendar…’ the TalkingParents app is that one extra layer of ‘you did it the right way, and here’s the proof.”
