Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about co-parenting with Larkling.

Is Larkling really free?

Yes. The core app — messaging, shared calendar, expense tracking, and court-ready exports — is free forever. No credit card, no trial bait. We offer an optional Premium tier at £6.99/month for the whole family (not per parent) with advanced features like the AI Tone Coach.

Can the other parent see my private messages?

No. All family messages are visible to everyone in your family group — that's the point of transparent co-parenting. But you can also send private direct messages to individual family members that others can't see.

Are the records court-admissible?

Yes. All messages, calendar entries, and expenses within Larkling are timestamped and exportable as PDFs. These records are designed to hold up in UK family courts and mediation proceedings.

Can I use Larkling if I'm a single parent?

Absolutely. Solo Mode lets you use the calendar, expense tracker, and journal without connecting another parent. Perfect for documenting your side before a co-parent joins, or for single-parent families.

Is Larkling LGBTQ+ inclusive?

Yes, from day one. You can set custom pronouns, flexible family roles (not just "mum" and "dad"), and the app was designed for all family structures — blended, donor-conceived, polyamorous, platonic co-parenting, and more.

How do I invite my co-parent?

After creating your family, tap "Invite" in the Family page. Enter their email address and they'll receive an invite link. Once they accept, you'll both see the same calendar, messages, and expenses.

What's the AI Tone Coach?

The Tone Coach (Premium feature) rewrites emotionally charged messages into calm, child-focused communication. Type what you want to say, and the AI transforms it into something constructive — reducing conflict and keeping things documented.

Does Larkling work on mobile?

Yes. Larkling is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — it works in any browser on iOS, Android, or desktop. You can also install it to your home screen for a native app experience.
