In a paragraph
68 wordsShared Steps is a co-parenting app for separated parents in the UK. It picks up where family mediation ends, turning the agreement into the plan both homes follow day to day: a shared calendar, handovers, changes either parent can propose and both agree, shared costs, messages and calls. Each parent has their own account, nobody is the primary parent, and there are no scores and no location tracking.
In full
223 wordsMediation ends with an agreement. Family life carries on the next morning: the first changed handover, the school trip nobody budgeted for, the summer holidays that still need deciding.
Shared Steps is a co-parenting app for separated parents in the UK that keeps that agreement working. What the parents settled becomes one shared plan: a calendar showing where the children are and when, handover check-ins, shared tasks, a clear record of shared costs, messages, and calls without swapping phone numbers. When life changes, either parent can propose an update, and it goes into the plan only once both agree.
The app is built to stay neutral. Each parent has their own account and nobody owns the family. There are no scores and no location tracking, and Calm check offers a calmer way to word a message before it is sent, which the parent can choose to use or ignore.
Families set up Shared Steps themselves, with one parent inviting the other by code. A mediation practice can recommend the app, but does not get access to the family's messages, costs or files. Practice invitations, case-system integrations and in-app requests to review an arrangement are planned features; families should contact their practice through its usual channels for now.
Shared Steps is made in the UK. One subscription covers the whole family, both parents included.

No primary parent
Each parent has their own account. The plan belongs to neither of them.
Agreed means agreed
A change goes into the plan only when both parents say yes.
No location tracking
Handover check-ins share a time the parent chose to send, never where they are.
Calls without sharing numbers
Parents can talk in the app without handing over a personal number.
Calm check
Before a message goes, it can suggest a calmer way to say it. The parent decides.
Built around the child
A read-only view lets a child see where they'll be and when. No messages, costs or decisions.
Logos
Vector SVG for print and design work, and transparent PNG for everything else.
Using the logo
- Give it room. Keep clear space of at least half the mark's height on every side.
- Keep it legible. Show the mark at least 24 px tall on screen, or 8 mm in print.
- Use it as supplied. Don't recolour, stretch, rotate, outline or rearrange it, or add effects.
- Match the ground. The colour logo on light backgrounds, the white logo on dark ones and photographs.
