Co-parenting messages that hold up.
A secure messaging app for separated co-parents. Every message stays exactly as it was sent — one shared record you can search and export any time.
✓ Australian-built · Permanent record · No editing · No deletion
When ordinary messaging isn't enough.
Plenty of separated parents get by on texts and a shared calendar. Some can’t. When every message might matter later, you need communication that’s contained, predictable, and easy to review.
Modus isn’t a family social feed or a cheerful household organiser. It’s a plain, reliable record for parents who need clarity and boundaries — not to be told they’ll get along.
Features
Built to do a few things well.
Focused messages, a record that stays intact, and exports you can actually use. No feed, no noise.
Focused messaging
One place for parenting messages, not scattered across texts, email, and screenshots.
Messages stay intact
Once sent, a message can't be edited or deleted, by either of you. The record stays as it happened.
A prompt before you send
Modus can flag a message that's too frequent, unclear, or outside your rules — before it goes. You decide whether to send anyway.
Records
A cleaner alternative to screenshots.
Long message histories are hard to follow, and harder to hand to a lawyer. Modus exports any date range as a clean, chronological PDF — with warning and flag summaries, an attachment index, and a verification hash to detect tampering.
Built for legal review, affidavits, and chronologies — or simply your own records. Modus doesn’t give legal advice, and can’t guarantee a court will accept any document.
Private by design.
Sensitive communication needs careful handling. Access is limited to the two authorised people in a space, every export is logged, and message content is never used for advertising.
- Authorised users only
- Private communication spaces
- No public message or attachment links
- Export activity logged
- No message content used for advertising
