Built for co-parents, by co-parents

The calm way to co-parent.

One shared place for two homes. Pick Up keeps the schedule, messages, and money quietly in sync — so the small stuff stops becoming the 9pm argument.

Why we built it

Co-parenting is hard enough.

The logistics shouldn't make it harder.

The 9pm text argument

A simple question about Friday pickup turns into a forty-message thread neither of you wanted.

The lost receipt

Who paid for the school trip? Nobody remembers. Nobody finds the receipt. Something always slips.

The missed handover

Schedules change. Messages get missed. Your child ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time.

How it works

Set up in ten minutes. Used for years.

01

Invite your co-parent

Send one invite. They accept, and your two homes are linked. Each parent keeps their own login.

02

Share the schedule

Add your custody pattern once. Pick Up builds the calendar, holidays, and handover reminders.

03

Coordinate calmly

Message, split expenses, and keep the important stuff in one place — not across four apps.

Features

Everything you need. Nothing that gets in the way.

Real screens from the Pick Up iOS app.

Pick Up shared calendar

One shared calendar, two homes

Custody patterns, holidays, activities, and handovers — colour-coded, instantly synced, and always the same story on both phones.

  • Weekly and fortnightly patterns
  • Holiday rotations built in
  • iCal and Google Calendar export
Pick Up messaging with Tone Assist

Messages with Tone Assist

Pick Up quietly flags messages that might escalate — and offers a calmer way to say the same thing. Your words, their review, sent when you're ready.

  • On-device analysis, never stored
  • Time-stamped conversation history
  • Export to PDF for your records
Pick Up child profile

A home for each child

Allergies, school contacts, GP, clothing sizes, emergency info. The stuff you both need and neither of you should have to ask for twice.

  • Medical and school details
  • Emergency contact list
  • Milestones and memories
Pick Up new event screen

Plan events together

From school plays to the dentist — add an event, pick a handover parent, and Pick Up handles the reminders, location notes, and shared prep list.

  • Attach receipts and documents
  • Handover parent locked in per event
  • Notifications for both homes
Tone Assist

A quiet second pair of eyes before you hit send.

The same sentence can land very differently at 9am and 9pm. Tone Assist looks at your message and, when it might escalate, offers a calmer rewrite. Nothing is sent automatically. Nothing leaves your device.

  • Runs on-device — your words are never uploaded for analysis.
  • You choose whether to accept, edit, or send as-is.
  • All messages remain time-stamped and exportable.

Your draft

"You always forget. The kids were meant to be ready at 6 and you haven't even replied. This is exactly why nothing works."

Tone Assist suggestion

"I hadn't heard back about 6pm — just want to double-check the kids will be ready. Can you confirm?"

Same askLower heatCourt-safe
Court-ready records

The one record neither of you can rewrite.

Pick Up was built so the story of your co-parenting stays intact — for both homes, and for the people (solicitors, mediators, courts) who sometimes need to read it.

  • Tamper-evident timestamps

    Every message, event, and expense is written with a server-side timestamp. Edits are kept as new entries — the original version is never overwritten.

  • Nothing can be deleted from history

    Neither parent can quietly remove a message or change a past entry. If something existed, it stays in the record.

  • Full export in your hand, any time

    Export the complete family record as JSON or PDF from Settings. Messages, calendar entries, expenses, decisions, child profiles — everything.

  • Removed from the family? You still get the export

    If you're ever removed from a shared account, Pick Up automatically sends you an export of the shared record. No permission required.

Sample report, anonymised — real exports contain your family's complete record.

The Fair Access promise

No parent can be cut off from their family history.

Both parents have equal access to every calendar entry, message, expense, and child profile. You can export your full family data at any time. If you are ever removed from a shared account, you automatically receive that export — no permission needed, no delay.

This commitment is written into our Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.

FAQ

Questions parents ask us most.

Do you offer a free trial?+

Yes — 14 days, on the Annual plan. No credit card required to start. The Monthly plan doesn't include a trial (it's cancel-anytime instead), and Lifetime is a one-time payment.

Can my ex see everything I do in the app?+

Both co-parents see the same shared family data — calendar, messages, expenses, child profiles. Personal account settings and your own device history are private to you. Fair Access is built in and documented in our Terms.

Is Pick Up a legal document?+

No. Pick Up is a coordination tool, not a legal agreement. It cannot override a court order or custody arrangement. What it does provide is a clear, time-stamped record of communication and agreements, which many families find useful alongside their legal paperwork.

Where is my data stored?+

Pick Up runs on Supabase, encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. We're UK-based and UK GDPR-compliant. We never sell your data, never show you ads, and never share it for marketing.

Can I export my data?+

Yes. You can export your complete family data — calendar, messages, expenses, child details — as JSON at any time from Settings. If you're ever removed from a shared account, you receive the export automatically.

Can I cancel my subscription?+

Anytime. Monthly cancels from your next billing date. Annual can be cancelled during the trial and won't be charged, or cancelled after to stop future renewals. Lifetime is a one-time payment — there's nothing to cancel.

Does it work on both iPhone and Android?+

Yes — iPhone, Android, and any web browser. One Pick Up account works everywhere.

What if my co-parent won't download the app?+

Pick Up is still useful on your own. You can track your schedule, keep expense records, and store key child information. When your co-parent is ready, invite them and the shared features turn on.

Who built Pick Up?+

H3llo H3llo Ltd — a small UK team of co-parents who needed this to exist and couldn't find it. We build Pick Up full-time and answer support emails ourselves.
