Co-Parenting and Shared Care

Who this is for

Co-parents in situations where communication is tense or minimal. Separated families coordinating children's schedules. Shared care arrangements where trust is low or conflict is high.

Why editable shared calendars fail here

When trust is low, editable calendars create more problems than they solve:

• Edits become accusations — "Who changed that?"
• Changes feel adversarial — every update feels like a power move
• People argue about what was changed instead of what's happening
• Permission negotiations add friction to an already difficult situation

How ComingUp Today helps

ComingUp Today solves a social problem, not just a technical one. The read-only model means:

• Visibility without permission or negotiation — see what's coming up without asking for access
• No one can change anyone else's calendar — your calendar stays yours, but others can see what matters
• Fewer messages, fewer misunderstandings — the calendar becomes a neutral source of truth
• Neutral source of truth — everyone sees the same facts, reducing arguments about what was said or changed

Key benefits

• Read-only by default — no accidental edits or conflicts
• Privacy-first visibility controls — share only what's needed
• Works with existing calendars — no need to change how you manage schedules
• Reduces coordination overhead — fewer texts, calls, and emails

Recipe-oriented use cases

• Meal planning across homes: Keep shared favorites available across households without repeated back-and-forth messages.
• Allergies and dietary context: Preserve important meal context and household prep notes in one place.
• Family recipe continuity: Save and pass down important recipes across generations and family branches.
• Linked cookbook access: Move quickly between related family kitchens without chasing old URLs.
