A custody calendar only works when both parents use it daily. DuetNest's custody calendar is the simplest way to share a parenting schedule across two households — pick a template, invite your co-parent, and your next 12 months are color-coded and synced in under two minutes.
Google Calendar wasn't built for parenting time. iCal events get edited silently. Paper wall calendars stop matching reality within weeks. Court orders describe schedules in legal language ('alternating weeks starting Friday 6pm') that nobody wants to translate into 52 weekly events by hand. A proper custody calendar generates the pattern for you, surfaces conflicts before they become arguments, and keeps a clean log of every swap and override so there's never a 'wait, whose week is it?' moment again.
Week-on/week-off, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, 3-4-4-3, alternating weekends, or fully custom. The pattern auto-fills 12 months ahead.
Alternating-year holiday rules apply automatically. Spring break, Thanksgiving, Christmas — handled once, reused forever.
Need to trade a Saturday? Propose, your co-parent approves, the change is logged with both signatures.
Two-way Google Calendar sync. Or install DuetNest as a PWA — your custody calendar lives on the home screen.
Color-coded by parent, identical on every device. No more screenshots of conflicting calendars.
The calendar flags impossible handovers, double-bookings, and missed pickups before they happen.
Every swap, override, and edit is timestamped — a structured record you can review or export whenever you need it.
Older kids get a simplified read-only view so they always know which parent picks them up.
