Child-first design
Every feature starts with the question: does this reduce conflict for the child? We say no to anything that adds friction or gives one parent an edge over the other.
Built by parents who’ve been there
Separation is painful. Coparenting shouldn’t make it worse. We built CoParent Lite because the tools that existed were either too clinical, too expensive, or designed for adversaries — not two people trying to raise a child together.
Why we built CoParent Lite
After going through separation ourselves, we found that the hardest part wasn’t the logistics — it was the communication. A simple question about a school pickup could spiral into a 40-message thread. An expense disagreement could ruin a handoff day for everyone, especially the kids.
Existing apps were either too formal (built for attorneys, not parents) or too casual (just a shared calendar, nothing more). We wanted something in between: structured enough to reduce conflict, gentle enough to use every day.
CoParent Lite is the tool we wish had existed. It’s opinionated — we think coparenting communication should be calm and child-focused — but it’s not preachy. We’re just trying to make hard days a little easier.
What we believe
Privacy by default
Your family's data is never sold, never shared with third parties, and never used to train AI models. AI rewrites run in isolated sessions — your draft messages are not stored.
Calm over clever
We deliberately avoid gamification, streaks, or engagement tricks. Coparenting is hard enough. CoParent Lite should feel like a quiet, reliable tool — not a social app.
The team
We’re a small team of engineers, designers, and parents. We don’t have a big PR budget or a VC mandate to grow at all costs. We just want to build something genuinely useful for families going through one of life’s harder chapters.
