Sharing a calendar between two households shouldn't feel like a project. DuetNest is a co-parenting calendar app where both parents see the same schedule, the same swaps, and the same handover notes — without arguing about who edited what.
A generic calendar app treats every event as equal. But co-parenting has structure: there's a base custody pattern, recurring events, one-off swaps, holiday overrides, child-specific activities, and a financial layer (who paid for camp, who owes for the doctor). When all of that lives in a shared Google calendar, everything gets messy. A dedicated co-parenting calendar app separates the base pattern from the day-to-day events, keeps an audit trail of changes, and connects the calendar to expenses and decisions — so a single dentist appointment lives next to its receipt and the agreement about who's paying.
Invite your co-parent by email. Both of you get equal access to the same calendar, expenses, and document vault.
Pick a template (week-on/week-off, 2-2-3, custom) — the next 12 months are color-coded automatically.
Doctor appointments, school events, soccer practice — add once, both parents see it, with the right child tagged.
Tap an event to attach a receipt or open a decision (e.g., 'choose a pediatrician'). Calendar, money, and choices in one thread.
Designed from day one for two parents, not for one user with reminders.
Structured fields and neutral language reduce the emotional charge of every interaction.
Calendar, expenses, medical info, school documents, decisions — never tab-switch again.
Web, iOS, Android — install as a PWA, no app store needed.
