AppClose, Inc. is honored to be named to Inc.’s 2024 Best in Business list for Operational Excellence. This award recognizes our innovative approach to simplifying co-parenting, including being court-ordered in every U.S. county, and our commitment to supporting families. Being included in this prestigious list highlights our dedication to making a meaningful impact on our industry and society, as well as our valued partnership with family law professionals working to better serve their clients.
AppClose facilitates communication between co‑parents, whether their usage is voluntary or court-ordered. AppClose Pro also lets attorneys, guardians ad litem, mental health professionals and other family law professionals follow the co‑parent chats and activities a client shares with them or invites them into — read-only, and for the period the client sets. To manage co‑parents’ complex needs, AppClose provides a comprehensive set of user friendly tools: real-time messaging, audio/video calling (with the consent of both participants, calls can be recorded and transcribed, with no limit on the number of recorded calls), scheduling, expense tracking, sending and receiving payments, documenting check-ins, exporting records that no user can alter, and more. AppClose enables co‑parents to maintain a well-structured and efficient approach to communicate, manage parenting obligations, and document interactions for evidentiary purposes, within any range of conflict situation.
Any AppClose user may export their own records, and U.S. users can generate unlimited Certified Electronic Business Records. Each one is certified by our Custodian of Records and digitally signed by AppClose, Inc. The certification is designed to meet the requirements for business records certifications under the Federal Rules of Evidence and their state counterparts, so records can be offered in evidence without live custodian testimony. In response to a valid subpoena, records may also be certified by our business records affidavit, at no charge.

Easily find and connect with co-parent clients who are AppClose users. Communicate directly from the AppClose Pro web platform in one‑on‑one chats that only you and your client can see, or in group chats when everyone in the chat agrees to add you. When a client invites you into their co‑parenting circle, you can follow — but not post in — the chats shared there until the date your client sets, and see the schedules and activities shared with you. Call recordings, transcripts and children’s information are not available through AppClose Pro.
Select any of your clients’ calendars to view events or requests that have been shared with you, or view them all in one place.
