Living in a varannan vecka-arrangement can be tough for both children and parents. While we can't completely eliminate that feeling, with Photos & Child-info, we've created a tool that makes it easier to share the child's life and joyful moments with each other. Next to Photos & Child Info, you'll also find Accounts, where you can store all account information in one place.
Photos work similarly to Instagram, with a feed where you can post pictures from your child's everyday life. Maybe it's the first day of school, pictures from the Lucia celebration, or the high ropes course that was terrifying at first but turned into a proud achievement once completed. ? Sharing pictures now and then and giving a glimpse into daily life can be soothing for the co-parent when the longing is strong.
I missed Greta so much when she was with her dad at first. But then we decided to share pictures from our weeks with her, and it calmed everything down. I saw that she was happy and doing well. It allowed me to focus on other things. The feed becomes like a lovely album of her life.

If you have other important adults in the app, they can also see the pictures, like, and comment. It's common for older relatives like grandparents to appreciate the updates a bit extra, especially if the child's family is geographically dispersed. You'll also never miss out on a relative the child (and you parents) need to stay in touch with.
Enter and share all essential recurring information about your child:
And the best part, when you update Child-info, the co-parent also sees the information. For example, if the child received a TBE vaccine, both can check when it's time to book a booster dose. So smart!
Being well-informed reduces distance and creates closeness faster. It also creates peace of mind and confidence for grandma or grandpa, who are better prepared for babysitting.
It's so nice to be able to check the App instead of calling my ex to ask for info. That's how it was before, and it always made me feel like a failure. It's great to avoid that and finally come home with the right shoes for our son!

To the right of Child Info, you'll find Accounts. Here, you can easily and smoothly enter information about the accounts your child uses, like usernames and passwords for Disney+ or Netflix.
As soon as you add or update any information, everyone can see it right away in the app.
It’s so incredibly convenient not to have to call and ask or search through emails to create new passwords! Plus, you get a clear overview of the accounts you're paying for. Maybe it’s smart to pause some subscriptions during the summer and save some money? Thanks, App!
