Family Focus is a mobile co-parenting application for separated or divorced parents who need one shared space for communication, custody scheduling, expenses, and documents. Parents connect with an invite code, then organize family information through structured messaging, a shared monthly custody calendar, child-related expense logs, document uploads, and PDF exports. Attorneys and mediators can receive view-only access, making the app relevant to families who need organized records alongside professional review.

Its strongest functional area is record organization. Messages include server timestamps and cannot be edited or deleted after posting. Parents can upload PDFs, images, and Word files, attach receipt photos to expenses, set custom split percentages, and track expense settlements. PDF exports can include messages, expenses, documents, and calendar records. The published plans show these core workflows across Free and Family Focus, with the paid plan adding structured messaging, a shared custody calendar, expense tracking, document storage, and PDF exports. Pricing information differs across Family Focus pages: one published plan shows $7.99 USD per month, while the support FAQ describes Family Focus as free with no subscriptions, in-app purchases, or advertisements.

Family Focus stays focused on documentation rather than broader co-parenting communication or coordination. It does not provide video calls, payment processing, or calendar synchronization, so families needing those functions will need another tool or an additional process. The app supports iOS and Android, with Apple sign-in, Google sign-in, and Google Firebase listed for its ecosystem connections. Choose Family Focus if immutable messaging, expense records, document storage, professional view-only access, and PDF exports are priorities. Consider an alternative if direct payments, video communication, synced calendars, or wider platform coverage are central requirements.
