FEATURES
Everything Manon does, and why each part exists.
Nothing here was built to fill a comparison table. Each one came from a day that went badly.
TWO HOUSES, ONE CHILD
Most weeks, Manon is just the logistics.
The schedule, the doses, the receipts, the school notes — the ordinary work of raising children across two houses. If things are good between you, that is all Manon is: a shared place that keeps both houses on the same page. And it stays quiet.
The message layer exists for the weeks that are not like that. Every separation has some. When they come, Manon stands in front of you. When they pass, it steps back.
Most separated parents are not using an app at all.
They are on WhatsApp, or ordinary text messages, or email. It works, until it does not. Then the record is a folder of screenshots, the difficult message arrives at eleven at night with nothing between it and you, and the same argument happens four times because nobody wrote down what was agreed.
You do not need to have decided you are a high-conflict case to want a better version of that. Most people arrive here after one specific evening.
And if it ever does go further, a solicitor’s letter costs more than a year of Manon.
A sick child does not stop at the handover.
Every co-parenting app can store a doctor’s name. None of them handle the actual problem: your child is on antibiotics, three doses a day, and on Friday afternoon they go to the other house mid-course.
In Manon the course is a live record. Each dose is ticked off by the parent who gave it, at the time they gave it. Reminders only reach whoever has the child. The schedule carries across the handover without a single message being sent about it.
Allergies, conditions, the health ID and vaccinations sit alongside it, visible to both parents, versioned rather than overwritten.
A record neither of you can rewrite.
Sent messages cannot be edited or deleted afterwards, by either parent. That is deliberate. A shared record is only worth something if nobody can go back and tidy it up.
If you ever need it, Manon exports the whole history as a dated, numbered PDF: messages, logbook notes and expenses, with authorship and a chain-of-custody header.
Built over a year, for the days that are hard.
Kept out of the way.
Before you start.
Does my co-parent need to use Manon too?
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.
Can a message be deleted or edited after it is sent?
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.
Will a court accept 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.
What does it cost?
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.
What languages does it speak?
Six: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Manon follows your device language and region automatically, including currency for expenses.
Who built this?
One separated parent, over a year, because nothing that existed felt like it was on anyone’s side.
