Recognized for Operational Excellence

In 2024, AppClose was named a Best in Business winner for Operational Excellence by Inc. Magazine, making it the only co-parenting platform in the world to receive this prestigious honor.

Used Daily. Trusted by Millions.

AppClose has hundreds of thousands of daily and weekly users and, since its launch, has been trusted by over 2 million co-parents and family law professionals across the U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The platform is a vital daily tool for managing parenting time, court-ordered communication, shared expenses, and documentation. Driven by growing worldwide demand from co-parents, courts, legal experts, and mental health professionals, later this year AppClose will expand into additional countries.

New in May: Call Recording with Mutual Consent

With consent from both participants, AppClose users can now record audio and video calls and create call transcripts, directly in the app. This feature offers added transparency and peace of mind when handling sensitive conversations.

Coming in June: Full Web Access

AppClose will launch a full-featured web version, giving users seamless access to their account from all major browsers. Co-parents, attorneys, courts, and mental health professionals will now have greater flexibility in how and where they manage cases and communications. 

Coming This Summer: AppClose AI – Co-Parent Assist

A built-in intelligent assistant will help users draft messages, reduce conflict, manage shared tasks, and improve communication tone—all in real time. AppClose AI prioritizes privacy and security by leveraging finely tuned large language models from certified external providers. User data is never stored or used to train those models, and each person's information is processed in strict isolation—never shared with unauthorized parties.

AppClose Pro: AI Assistant Built for Legal and Court Professionals

AppClose Pro will be enhanced in June with the AppClose Pro AI Assistant, to assist courts and family law professionals with smart communication analysis, drafting, record and document management, and trial preparation.  Thousands of family law attorneys, domestic relations officers, parent coordinators, guardians ad litem, and other professionals who work with the courts rely on AppClose Pro to monitor communication, review parenting schedules, access reports, and support families navigating high-conflict custody situations. AppClose Pro delivers unmatched efficiency, clarity, and court-ready documentation for professionals, both inside and outside the courtroom.  

Introducing a New Layer of Support: Sobriety & Addiction Monitoring
