Questions, answered.

No. You can use Manon alone from day one. The schedule, health records, logbook and your own notes all work. If your co-parent joins later with your six-character invite code, the shared records simply become shared. Nothing has to be re-entered.

No, and that is deliberate. Neither parent can alter a sent message. The rule is enforced in the database itself rather than merely hidden in the app, because a shared record is only worth something if nobody can quietly rewrite it.

Manon produces a dated, sequentially numbered PDF with a chain-of-custody header, a complete message count and clear authorship. Whether any record is accepted is always the court’s decision, and no app can promise otherwise.

Your first month is free, with no card needed. After that each parent has their own subscription. Without one, you can still read and export your record.

Six: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Manon follows your device language and region automatically, including currency for expenses.

One separated parent, over a year, because nothing that existed felt like it was on anyone’s side.

Yes — each parent has their own subscription. That is deliberate: your access never depends on your co-parent. Your first month is free.

Now. Your first month is free, and nothing starts charging without you choosing it.

You choose a plan to carry on. If you do not, you can still open Manon, read everything and export your record. Sending, adding or changing anything needs a subscription.

At any time. Your records remain yours and the export stays available, because a record you can lose by cancelling is not a record.
