Tracked co-parenting expenses in a group chat for 10 years.
Receipts buried under memes. Constant confusion. Zero record.
One frustrated night I built something to fix it.
Two days later my whole co-parenting crew was using it.
That became Parentrail. parentrail.com

I'm Pedro. Dad of four, and I share custody of two. For years our kid expenses lived in a group chat, and every month the same question came up: "Did they pay us for that?" So I started building a shared ledger for it. What would you track first?
It's called Parentrail. Free demo with sample data, no signup: parentrail.com

"Did you pay the dentist?" "I sent it last week?" We've all lived in that thread. Here's the other way: every expense with its receipt, in one record you both see.
