Frequently asked questions

Wardline builds secure software for decisions that matter between people who need a clear, fair record of what was agreed. Our first product, Wardline Co-Parenting, helps families who live across more than one home manage schedules, belongings, expenses and communication in one shared place.

It's in private development, and we haven't set a launch date yet. If you'd like to hear when it's ready, get in touch.

We haven't set pricing yet. What we have committed to: no feature tiers, so everyone gets the whole product; no advertising; we never sell your data; and exporting your record for legal proceedings will always be free.

We're building Wardline Co-Parenting as a phone app for iPhone and Android.

No. Wardline is built for everyday family life across households: split weeks, hybrid arrangements and blended families, whether parents get along easily or find it hard. Clear records and fair rules help everyone.

Yes. There's no limit on the number of parents or guardians, and they all have equal standing. Step-parents, grandparents and other carers can join as household members, and a child can be linked between two households.

You can set up your family on your own and invite the other parent when you're ready. Wardline works best with everyone on board, though, because things like schedule swaps, expenses and handoffs are confirmed by the other person.

Decisions that affect everyone need everyone's agreement. If you can't agree, the question goes to a shared mediator or coordinator you've both chosen. If you don't have one, it stays open until you resolve it. Wardline never takes sides or decides for you. See how agreement works.

Yes. A shared professional can be brought in when every parent agrees, and only sees what you've all allowed. Professionals can find out more on our page for professionals.

No. Our staff have no routine access to your records. In the rare case that someone needs to see real data to fix a problem, every parent must approve it, it's limited to one item for a limited time, and the request is recorded in your family's own history. See Security.

Only if you use the optional tone check. When you do, your draft is sent to an AI service in the cloud platform we use, to suggest a calmer wording. Your messages are never used to train AI models.

No, never. Wardline has no advertising, and we don't sell, rent or trade your information.

No. This website has no cookies, no analytics and no advertising trackers. See our privacy policy.

No. Wardline is a tool for families. It doesn't give legal advice or replace a lawyer or mediator. For advice about your own situation, please speak to a qualified family-law professional.

Every message, request and approval is attributed, time-stamped and tamper-evident, and you can export your full record yourself, free, at any time. Whether and how a record is used is up to you, your lawyer and the court.

Closing the family's account needs every parent's agreement. Everyone then has 30 days to export their records. After that, the encryption key for your family's records is destroyed, and the content becomes permanently unreadable, including to us.
