What it is
2houses helps separated parents communicate and organize their children’s care and family information. Its shared calendar handles parenting schedules, recurring visits, change requests, events, and imported school terms or holidays. Calendar entries synchronize with iCal, Google Calendar, Outlook, and other standard calendar apps on desktop and mobile. Finance tools track expenses, balances, payment invitations, alimony, and spending categories, with reports exportable as CSV or PDF. Parents can message one another, their children, or a mediator; conversations may be archived or printed but cannot be deleted. A family information bank stores child-related contacts, medical details, and documents. The service also includes notifications, shared photo albums, a family journal, and configurable access for children and relatives. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web. One subscription can cover parents, children, third parties, and mediators, while mediators can receive read-only access. The plan costs $8.25 a month, billed at $99 every 12 months.
