The all-in-one app that filters toxic messages, organises custody schedules, and tracks expenses. Co-parenting made peaceful, secure, and child-focused.
Stop the arguments. Start co-parenting with peace.
Co-parenting after divorce or separation is stressful, but it doesn't have to be a battleground. KidsFirst is the free all-in-one co-parenting app designed to filter conflict, organise family logistics, and protect your children from the crossfire of separation.
Started by a parent who has been there and built by a community, KidsFirst acts as a neutral buffer, helping separated parents communicate effectively without the emotional triggers.
FREE, AND HERE'S WHY
Most co-parenting apps charge per parent, so a separated family pays two subscriptions, and a plan only one parent agrees to buy half-works. KidsFirst is free: every feature, both parents, no second bill, no trial, no credit card, no ads, no catch. We're founder-led, community-built, and not run to make a profit: any money KidsFirst brings in goes back into keeping the core free and reaching more families. The core co-parenting tools will stay free, always. The parents who need this most should never be priced out.
WHY KIDSFIRST?
• AI Conflict Filter
Other apps warn the sender, who can send the original anyway. KidsFirst rewrites a hostile message before it is delivered, and the filter can't be switched off. What reaches you has already been through the filter. You do not see what the other parent typed in anger.
• Topic-Based Threads
Stop losing track in one endless chat. Most messaging apps cram everything into a single thread, so school, health, handovers, and money all blur together. KidsFirst gives each topic its own thread, so you can follow up on schooling in one place and expenses in another, and nothing important gets buried or mixed up.
• The Undeniable Shared Calendar
Eliminate the "You never told me" arguments. Coordinate custody schedules, doctor appointments, and school events in a single shared view. Real-time updates keep both parents on the same page.
• Transparent Expense Tracking
Stop fighting about money. Upload receipts, categorise expenses (medical, school, clothing), and track who owes what. A clear financial record removes the awkwardness of asking for reimbursement.
• Secure Document Vault
Keep vital information accessible, not held hostage. Store vaccination records, insurance cards, and school reports in one secure place both parents can access instantly.
KEY BENEFITS
• Protect Your Mental Health: Conflict filtering reduces anxiety every time your phone buzzes.
• Put Kids First: By lowering tension between parents, you create a stable, loving environment for your children to thrive.
• Make Arrangements Easier: Messages, expenses, and schedule changes sit in one shared, timestamped record both parents can see, so there is less to dispute and more you can settle between yourselves.
SAFE & SECURE BY DESIGN
Your data belongs to you. We don't sell or trade your personal data, we don't run ads, and we never use your messages to train AI. They're processed only to run the Conflict Filter, within AWS. Personal details like names and contact info are automatically removed before a message reaches the AI, so the filter works on the tone of a message, not on who your family is. Messages and documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, on durable infrastructure in Australia. No one on our team can read your private records: it's enforced by how the app is built, not just promised.
WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
"Finally, we can focus on our daughter instead of arguing about every little thing. The message filter saved me from starting a fight more than once!"
