Kidtime
Officially listedAI-powered co-parenting scheduling and record-keeping tool built for divorced and separated parents.
Kidtime
Kidtime is a co-parenting tool from VMGM Software that consolidates custody schedules, co-parenting communication, shared expenses, and court-submittable records into one app, replacing endless arguments with a single objective dataset both sides can check. Designed for divorced and separated parents, its core is scheduling and record-keeping, with features like the AI tone meter as enhancements.
Core Capabilities
- Custody Calendar and Templates: 15+ built-in schedule templates like 50/50, 2-2-3, and 5-2-2-5, claimed to produce a full-year exchange schedule in 5 minutes
- Automatic Time Tracking: The calendar automatically tallies overnights, hours, and percentages with per-child and per-parent reports—no manual check-ins
- AI Tone Meter: Scans drafts before sending, flags hostility and sarcasm, and offers BIFF / Grey Rock / Yellow Rock rewrites
- AI Parenting Plan Generator: Conversational Q&A drafts a court-readable parenting plan based on your state
- Expense Tracking and Recorded Calls: Log expenses with receipts and proportional splitting; in-app calls hide your number and auto-record with transcription
- Attorney Read-Only Portal and Export: A secure read-only portal for attorneys plus one-click Excel/PDF export
Use Cases Best matched to low-to-mid-conflict divorced or separated parents who want a shared schedule instead of arguments, budget control, and exportable records; Solo mode fits parents whose counterpart refuses to use the app. Not for heavy Android users or high-conflict families where the court has already mandated an established app.
Unique Strengths While OurFamilyWizard and TalkingParents lock AI tone features behind their top tier ($352/year) and dropped free tiers, Kidtime keeps a permanent free tier and includes the AI tone meter in its standard paid level, at roughly half the price of the established competitors.
Editorial Review iOS users report no longer being gaslit, and Solo mode plus genuinely functional AI tone rewrites earn praise; but ratings are polarized—4.2 on iOS versus about 2 on Android—with repeated complaints about calendar editing and sync stability, no mainstream media coverage, and no appearance on any court's officially approved list. Overall rating 4/5, the first pick for low-to-mid-conflict co-parenting.

FAQ
Is Kidtime free?
There is a permanent free tier (custody calendar, 15+ schedule templates, timestamped messages, note photos, automatic time tracking, with the other parent joining free forever); Pro/Premium start at $69.99/year per parent and include a 7-day trial with no credit card required.
What can Kidtime be used for?
Co-parenting scheduling and documentation: custody calendars and templates, automatic parenting-time tracking, messages with an AI tone meter, expense tracking, recorded calls, and exportable records for attorneys—replacing repeated arguments with objective data.
How does Kidtime's AI tone meter work?
It scans drafts before sending, flags hostility, sarcasm, and blame, and offers three rewrites: Balanced (BIFF), Minimal (Grey Rock), and Polite (Yellow Rock); it triggers on demand, is not archived with messages, and is not used to train models.
How is Kidtime priced?
Billing is per parent, not per family: Free is $0 forever; Pro/Premium start at $69.99/year per person per the official blog (elsewhere listed at $99.99/year, often discounted), so about $140/year when both parents pay. The official site has no standalone pricing page.
How does Kidtime differ from OurFamilyWizard?
OFW has no free tier, costs about $110–$300, and has the longest court-track record; Kidtime keeps a permanent free tier, includes the AI tone meter in its standard paid level, and costs about half as much, but its user base and court-track record fall short of OFW's.
Is Kidtime's Android version good?
It performs clearly worse than iOS: a Google Play rating around 2.1 with only 1K–2K installs, versus about 4.2 on iOS. Android users should be cautious; iOS is the primary platform.
Can Kidtime records be submitted to court?
It provides uneditable timestamped messages, automatic custody analytics, Excel/PDF export, and an attorney read-only portal; but the company explicitly does not claim to be a court-approved app, and admissibility is decided by the court or the recipient.
Is Kidtime the same product as the same-named tools?
No. This tool is VMGM Software's co-parenting/custody scheduling app (kidtime.app); third-party directories also list a same-named AI learning platform for ages 3–12 and a parental control app, which are different products.
