AUSTIN, Texas, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AppClose, the world's leading co-parenting platform and the highest-rated co-parenting app in both major app stores, is expanding its suite of features to better support families, legal professionals, and mental health experts navigating the complexities of co-parenting. With more than 48,000 five-star reviews, AppClose continues to lead the way in secure, court-admissible communication and custody management tools trusted by families and professionals worldwide, and court-ordered in every county across the United States.

Recognized for Operational Excellence

In 2024, AppClose was named a Best in Business winner for Operational Excellence by Inc. Magazine, making it the only co-parenting platform in the world to receive this prestigious honor. The award highlights AppClose's continued dedication to building innovative high performance technology that improves outcomes for families, courts, and professionals.

AppClose has also been part of Apple's Parenting Essentials collection on the App Store for five consecutive years, reinforcing its status as a trusted and essential tool for modern families navigating co-parenting.

Used Daily. Trusted by Millions.

AppClose has hundreds of thousands of daily and weekly users and, since its launch, has been trusted by over 2 million co-parents and family law professionals across the U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The platform is a vital daily tool for managing parenting time, court-ordered communication, shared expenses, and documentation. Driven by growing worldwide demand from co-parents, courts, legal experts, and mental health professionals, later this year AppClose will expand into additional countries.

New in May: Call Recording with Mutual Consent

With consent from both participants, AppClose users can now record audio and video calls and create call transcripts, directly in the app. This feature offers added transparency and peace of mind when handling sensitive conversations.

Coming in June: Full Web Access

AppClose will launch a full-featured web version, giving users seamless access to their account from all major browsers. Co-parents, attorneys, courts, and mental health professionals will now have greater flexibility in how and where they manage cases and communications. 

Coming This Summer: AppClose AI – Co-Parent Assist

A built-in intelligent assistant will help users draft messages, reduce conflict, manage shared tasks, and improve communication tone—all in real time. AppClose AI prioritizes privacy and security by leveraging finely tuned large language models from certified external providers. User data is never stored or used to train those models, and each person's information is processed in strict isolation—never shared with unauthorized parties.

AppClose Pro: AI Assistant Built for Legal and Court Professionals

AppClose Pro will be enhanced in June with the AppClose Pro AI Assistant, to assist courts and family law professionals with smart communication analysis, drafting, record and document management, and trial preparation.  Thousands of family law attorneys, domestic relations officers, parent coordinators, guardians ad litem, and other professionals who work with the courts rely on AppClose Pro to monitor communication, review parenting schedules, access reports, and support families navigating high-conflict custody situations. AppClose Pro delivers unmatched efficiency, clarity, and court-ready documentation for professionals, both inside and outside the courtroom.  

Introducing a New Layer of Support: Sobriety & Addiction Monitoring

Parents can receive a free breathalyzer and access the lowest-cost monthly remote alcohol monitoring plan on the market. Designed to simplify court-ordered sobriety compliance and daily recovery goals, the program includes secure test logging, alerts, and Sobriety & Addiction Monitoring — a complete system to support accountability and structure throughout the compliance and recovery journey.
