Custody Log: Parenting Time

SoloCustody is an offline record of custody handovers and child costs, kept by one parent, on one phone.

It works alone. The other parent is never invited, never notified, and never needs to install anything. There is no shared account and no server.

WHAT IT DOES

The handover log

Tap Arrived when you get there and Left when you go. The app works out how long you were there and what the outcome was: on time, late by however many minutes, or an outcome you state yourself. Add a note in your own words and a photo of the place if you want one.

Your parenting plan, expanded

Enter the schedule once. Alternating weeks, every other weekend, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, every weekend, or your own weekly pattern. The app generates the handovers it implies, and each one waits on the timeline for you to log it. A handover set for 6pm stays at 6pm when the clocks change.

Entries that show their own history

Correcting an entry within a day is ordinary and happens quietly. Change one weeks later and the app keeps the original alongside the change, together with the reason you gave, and prints both in the record.

Child costs and what you are owed

Log a cost with its receipt, the split you enter from your order, the date you sent it on and the date it came back. The app counts the days against the reimbursement window you enter yourself. It holds no deadline of its own, because those differ by jurisdiction and by order.

The record

One plain chronological PDF: every handover with its times and outcome, every cost with what was sent and what was repaid, your dated notes, and photographs and receipts at the back. Boring on purpose. It is made to be handed to a lawyer, so there are no charts that editorialise and no score.

Backup and restore

One file holds everything, receipts included, and restores onto another Android device. It is not held behind a purchase.

WHAT THE APP DOES NOT DO

There is no location tracking in this app. It requests no location permission of any kind. It records no audio and no video of anybody, and never offers to. You enter the times yourself, about your own arrival and your own departure.

The app does not decide anything about the other parent. A handover that passes without being logged is shown as waiting for you, and nothing more: the app does not know why nobody came, so it does not say.

WHO IT IS FOR

A parent keeping their own contemporaneous account during a separation, a custody matter, or a variation. It suits someone already working with a family lawyer who wants to hand over something organised instead of a shoebox of texts and receipts.

WHAT THIS APP IS NOT

SoloCustody keeps your own record. It is not legal advice, and it is not a determination about anyone. Whether a court accepts this record, and what weight it carries, is for your lawyer and the court to decide.

Everything stays on your phone. There is no account and no sync.
