Quick answer: OptiAI® gives co-parents a shared calendar with per-person Data Sharing, so another adult can see schedules, pickups and activities without seeing the rest of your account. Full Access is free forever. OptiAI is an organisation tool and does not provide legal advice or replace a custody agreement or court order.
Updated October 2026. We make OptiAI, so please check other products' current pages before you decide.
What co-parents usually need
- One schedule both homes can see, color-coded by person.
- Clarity about who is doing which pickup or activity.
- Control over what is shared, so private items stay private.
- A record of changes so plans do not live in scattered texts.
How OptiAI supports it
The family calendar is color-coded by person, and clash warnings appear when something new overlaps an existing event. Sharing is set per person through Data Sharing, so a co-parent can stay in the loop without access to everything. Items can be marked private to you ("Only me"), and you can assign tasks such as a pickup to a specific person.
Opti call alerts, where available in the US, can notify and phone the person responsible for a pickup, and tell the family once someone confirms.
Practical habits that help
- Agree what goes on the shared calendar and what does not.
- Put swap days and handover times in as events, not chat messages.
- Keep the tone factual; the calendar is a schedule, not a place for disputes.
What it is not
OptiAI does not provide legal advice, and nothing here replaces your parenting plan, custody agreement or a lawyer. Check what applies to you with a qualified professional. For privacy features, see private events in a shared calendar.
Agreeing how to use a shared calendar
A shared calendar works best with a few plain ground rules: what gets added, how far ahead, and how changes are communicated. Many co-parents find it helps to keep entries short and factual, with times and places only. Keep conversations about disagreements out of the calendar.
If you work with a mediator, lawyer or parenting coordinator, ask them how a shared calendar fits with your arrangement. OptiAI is an organisation tool and cannot advise on that.
Keeping children at the centre
A good shared schedule helps children by making transitions predictable. Put school pickups, activities, appointments and handovers on the calendar early, and use routines so each home can follow similar bedtime and homework patterns if you both agree. Predictability tends to help children feel settled between two households.
