Whose day is it today? Never argue about the calendar again.

The app that organizes your children's time in shared custody: a clear calendar, day swaps that only count when both parents approve, and a history that cannot be edited or deleted — the record of everything you agreed, kept exactly as it was made.

How it works

Three steps to get the calendar out of the chat and put an end to "but you said that…".

1

Create the family and invite the other parent

Each of you signs in with your own account. You can also include grandparents and other caregivers who take part in the routine.

2

Build the calendar together

Set whose day each day is, following your own agreement — alternating weeks, fixed days, holidays. The app always shows who is responsible today and in the days ahead.

3

Need to swap a day? Propose it in the app

The swap only takes effect once the other parent approves. Nothing changes on one person's say-so — and everything is recorded, with date and time.

Why not just use a chat app or a spreadsheet?

Because an agreement buried in a conversation turns into an argument. The app exists precisely to take the schedule out of "nobody told me".

💬 Chat app, spreadsheet or paper calendar

  • Messages get lost in the middle of the conversation
  • Everyone writes it down differently — and it's gone by the end of the month
  • Day swaps agreed verbally, with no record
  • Arguments about who said what, and when
  • Nobody trusts what's written down

📅 Guarda Compartilhada

  • One calendar, identical for both parents
  • Whose day it is today, always in sight
  • A swap only counts with the other parent's approval
  • History with date and time that cannot be deleted
  • Instant notifications — nobody is left out

Built to reduce conflict, not to be one more app

Every detail exists to answer one question quickly and prevent one argument.

📅

A calendar that's always clear

Open it and see straight away whose day it is — today, tomorrow and across the whole month. A different color for each caregiver.

🤝

Swaps approved by both

Any change to a day becomes a request the other parent approves or declines. No surprises, no "nobody told me".

📜

History that cannot be altered

Every swap, approval and change is recorded with date and time, in a history that cannot be edited or deleted. If what you agreed ever turns into an argument, it's there — in black and white.

🔔

Real-time notifications

Swap request, approval, reminder: you find out right away, in the app and by e-mail.

👨‍👩‍👧

More than mom and dad

Grandparents, stepparents and other caregivers can join the family and take days, under the same approval rules.

🔒

Privacy first

Your family's data is visible only to the people who belong to it. No ads, no data selling.

From one parent to another: why I built Guarda Compartilhada

This app wasn't born in a business meeting. It was born out of a real need, inside my own family.

I was married for 20 years, and from that marriage came the most precious thing in my life: my son. When his mother and I understood that the marriage would not go on, we chose to separate with everyone's good in mind — his above all.

Suddenly everything was new: the house, the routine, the habits. But one thing didn't change — the wish to be present in my son's life. Amid the natural friction of a recent separation, what we needed most was exactly what seemed hardest: giving stability and predictability to a small child, around his mother's demanding work schedule.

Both of us needed to know clearly whose day each day was. I tried a spreadsheet — it helped at first, but it soon got complicated and was never at hand when it mattered. I tried a regular calendar — too much work to keep up. So I built something of my own, simple, and it grew until it became a real partner in the time I spend with my son.

Talking with other parents who had been through a separation, I heard the same gap. That's why I decided to open this tool up to more families — to take that friction out of the way at such a delicate moment, one that is overcome with care, love and, above all, respect between everyone involved.

Frequently asked questions

From the concept to everyday use — what parents ask most before getting started.

What is shared custody?
In shared custody, both parents keep sharing the responsibilities and the decisions about their children after separating. In practice the hardest part is not the law — it's the routine: knowing who has the child on each day, how holidays and vacations work, and what to do when one of you needs to swap a day. That everyday agreement is what the app organizes.
What is a parenting calendar?
It's the agreement that defines whose day each day is — alternating weeks, fixed days, rotating weekends, holidays. When it lives only in each parent's head, or scattered across a chat, it becomes a source of friction. Guarda Compartilhada puts that calendar in one place, identical for both parents, with every day swap approved by the other parent and recorded with date and time — less arguing about what was agreed, and more predictability for the children.
Is the app available in English?
Yes. The whole app interface is available in English and Portuguese, and you can switch language at any time in your profile. What is never translated is what you write yourself — names, notes and messages stay exactly as you typed them. Prices are charged in Brazilian reais (see Pricing).
Does the other parent need an account too?
The app works best with both of you: you create the family and send an invitation by e-mail. It's with two accounts that day swaps gain mutual approval — the heart of the tool. You can start on your own and invite the other parent whenever you want.
Can the history be used as evidence in court?
The app permanently records every swap, approval and change, with date and time, in a history that cannot be edited or deleted. That record can be useful to document how the parenting agreement was followed — but whether any document counts as evidence is always the judge's decision, and the rules differ from country to country. When in doubt, talk to your lawyer.
Are my data and my children's data safe?
Yes. Each family sees only its own data — that separation is enforced in the database, not just on screen. We show no ads and sell no data, and we follow the LGPD, Brazil's data protection law. See our Privacy Policy (published in Portuguese).
How much does the app cost?
The essentials are free: the calendar for both parents, swaps approved by both, notifications and the history. Premium costs R$ 5,49/month (or R$ 54,90/year, with 2 months free) per family — a promotional launch price, a single amount that covers every caregiver — and unlocks advanced features such as adding grandparents, a nanny and other caregivers beyond the couple, the history report as a PDF and planning up to 24 months ahead. Payment is by Pix (a QR code in your banking app, no card details) or credit card, with a full refund within 7 days (article 49 of the Brazilian Consumer Code); cancel whenever you like without losing any data.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The app runs on any phone with a browser — Android or iPhone — and can be installed on the home screen in seconds, with no app store involved. See the installation steps.
What if the other parent doesn't approve a swap?
The swap simply doesn't happen: the day stays exactly as the calendar has it, and the refusal is recorded in the history. There's one rule — no day changes without both parents agreeing. That's what keeps the calendar trustworthy for both of them.

Less arguing. More time together.

Create your account, build the calendar and invite the other parent. In ten minutes your children's routine moves from a back-and-forth to a clear agreement.
