Co-parenting means two homes that still have to work as one.
Trestle is the bridge.

Messages, calls, schedules and documents between co-parents, all in one place. Everything is documented and court-ready, so the record is there when you need it instead of buried in an old text thread.

How Trestle compares

Without the usual catches

Other apps still make you juggle: getting your co-parent to sign up before anything works, paying to unlock basics, or starting free and then springing a bill to keep what's yours. Some just bounce you back to email and texts. Trestle works from day one, solo and free.
