read it like a file
Built for a clear record, not casual chat.
Four things the iPhone app keeps. Nothing here is a promise that a court will use the file.
Messages stay as you sent them
Before you send, the app can point out shouting or blame. You can still send. After you send, neither parent can edit or delete that message. You can see when the other parent opened it.
A PDF your lawyer can check
The download includes a short code. Anyone with the code can use Check an export on this website, with no account. It shows when the file was made and how many messages, events, and expenses were in it. It does not open the PDF, so it cannot tell if someone changed pages later.
Calendar, handoffs, and expenses
You share parenting time, school, and medical dates. On a pickup you can note arrived, child handed over, and left. Expenses can be approved, questioned, or marked paid, with a receipt.
One price for both parents
$19.99 a year, or $2.99 a month, after a 7-day free trial. One payment covers both parents and a lawyer who only looks. Reading the record and downloading the PDF stay free. Sending messages and adding events or expenses needs an active plan.

Honest limits build trust
Separated parents have heard a lot of promises. OnRecord keeps a record. Here is what we will not claim to do.
Your co-parent has to join
The shared record needs both parents in the app. If they refuse, OnRecord cannot invent their side. If a court order names another app, use that app. We include sample order wording a lawyer can edit. It is not legal advice.
We do not stop harsh messages
We keep what was sent, with the time. We do not block, delete, or rewrite the other parent's messages.
Not a lawyer, therapist, or the police
This is a record-keeping app. It does not give legal advice, and it does not promise a judge will accept the PDF.
We do not text your co-parent for you
We do not send text messages for you. Both parents use the iPhone app, or you download what you have for your lawyer.
FAQ
Questions co-parents ask
- How much does OnRecord cost?
- $19.99 a year or $2.99 a month for the case. One payment covers both parents. New plans start with a 7-day free trial. Cancel before it ends and you pay nothing.

If you cannot afford it, email support@onrecord.app. A person reviews each request.
- Will a court accept OnRecord?
- We do not know, and we will not promise that. The app keeps times and messages that neither parent can edit, and you can download a PDF. A judge in your case decides what to look at. Ask your lawyer.
- What if my co-parent will not join?
- Then you do not have a shared record. If your court order names another app, use that app. A lawyer can use the sample order wording in the app. That wording is a starting point, not legal advice.

Anyone with the code can open Check an export on this website and see the case name, who exported it, when, and the counts. The website does not open the PDF, so it cannot catch pages changed later. It is not proof a court will accept the file. onrecord.app is not this website yet. It still shows a placeholder page.
- What is the warning before I send?
- It points out shouting, blame, or a note that may belong in another conversation. In the app this is called Record Check. You can still send. It does not block the message.
- Is OnRecord a replacement for OurFamilyWizard?
