One place for communication between co-parents: messages, calls, schedules and documents. Everything stays on the record, with court-admissible documentation ready to share whenever you need it.
Messages, voice notes, calls and video with your co-parent live in one shared thread, not scattered across texts and email.
Your data is immutable, secure and tamper-proof. Every message, call transcript and document is timestamped and kept exactly as it happened, ready to share in one tap for mediation or custody proceedings.
Exchanges, appointments, holidays and swaps live in a shared calendar instead of screenshots and text chains.
An AI assistant with a tone check that helps heated drafts land calm. It runs inside the app, so nothing you type is sent anywhere while you write. When a message comes out angrier than you mean, Spirit sends you back a redraft tailored privately to your voice: the anger comes out, the point stays, and it still sounds like you.
Other apps still make you juggle: getting your co-parent to sign up before anything works, paying to unlock basics, or starting free and then springing a bill to keep what's yours. Some just bounce you back to email and texts. Trestle works from day one, solo and free.
