dip
What it is
dip is a co-parenting app for parents raising a child across two households. Its shared calendar shows both parents custody schedules and handovers. Parents can record child-related expenses, split shared costs and track payments. Messaging includes Tone Check to help review a message before it is sent.
A shared child vault can hold schedule changes, handover notes, receipts and medical entries. Edits leave a visible trail, and records can be exported. Each parent can invite and manage their own grandparents and helpers, with permissions that limit what guests can view. Calendars, contacts and documents remain accessible offline and sync in the background. The app listing describes the vault as encrypted, and Google Play reports that data is encrypted in transit. dip is available on Android, iOS and the web; its FAQ says the service is available in 10 languages. The free plan costs nothing, is for both parents and lasts forever, with no ads or data sale. The maker says the app does not sell user data. Its tools and content are not medical, psychological or legal advice.
