Frequently Asked Questions

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

Is Larkling really free?

Yes. Messaging and the calendar are always free for both parents — that's our promise. You also get expense tracking, the journal, 5 Tone Coach checks a day and up to 3 documents in the vault. Premium is £55.99 a year or £6.99 a month for the whole family (not per parent) and adds timestamped PDF exports, unlimited documents and 30 Tone Coach checks a day. Plans renew automatically and you can cancel any time. Your first export starts a free 14-day Premium trial for your family.

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 timestamped and tamper-evident?

Yes. Every message, calendar entry and expense is timestamped and cannot be edited or deleted after sending. Premium PDF exports carry integrity metadata so any changes can be detected. Whether a court admits any record is a matter for the judge.

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 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. You get 5 free checks a day, or 30 a day with Premium.

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.
