How it works

Communicate today. Prove it later, if you ever have to.

Kinbria is a free co-parenting app for messages and shared scheduling. You use it like any other messaging tool — but underneath, every message and every calendar change is saved to a permanent record that can't be secretly changed. When you need a clean copy for a lawyer, a mediator, or a court, it is one tap away, and anyone can check for themselves that it was never altered.

The flow

Four steps, start to finish

You do the first two. Kinbria quietly handles the rest — and it is ready the day you need it, not something you scramble to assemble later.

1

Create your free account

Sign up in a couple of minutes — no card, no trial, no per-parent fee. You can begin even if your co-parent hasn't joined. Start on your own, keep your own record, and invite them whenever you are ready. Everything you send is saved from day one either way.

2

Message and share the schedule

Talk about pickups, medical appointments, expenses, and hand-offs in one calm place. Propose and accept schedule changes so there is a clear record of who asked for what and when. It works like a normal app — the record-keeping happens on its own in the background.

3

Every entry joins the record

The moment a message is sent or a calendar change is made, it is added to a permanent record that only adds — it never edits or erases. Each message is sealed to the one before it, so nothing can be quietly changed, back-dated, or deleted after the fact — not even by us.

4

Make a certified record — one tap

When you need proof, tap once to create a certified record — a sealed, dated official copy anyone can check. Share the file and its link with your attorney, mediator, or the court. Anyone — with no account and no login — can open the public check page and confirm the record was never changed.

In everyday use

It feels like a normal messaging app

There is nothing to learn and nothing extra to remember. You message about pickups, appointments, and expenses the way you already do — the record-keeping runs quietly underneath every single line.

  • One calm place for messages and the shared schedule
  • Every message shows a send date and time both parents see
  • The record is saved in the background — no button to press

Why it holds up

What makes the record trustworthy

Trust here does not mean “take our word for it.” It means anyone can check for themselves. Four separate safeguards make a Kinbria record hard to fake and easy to check.

1. A permanent record that only adds

Every message and calendar change is sealed to the one before it, forming an unbroken line. Change a single character in any past entry and the seals after it break — so any change would show. The record only adds; it never edits or erases. It cannot be quietly reordered, changed, or removed.

2. A digital seal

A certified record carries a digital seal that proves the file came from Kinbria and has not been changed since. If even one character of the record changes, the seal no longer matches — so there is no way to quietly “fix” a certified copy after it is made.

3. A trusted date stamp

Each certified record carries a trusted date stamp from an independent outside service — not from us. That proves the record existed in its exact form at a specific date and time. And once a day, the whole record is checked against that outside service too, so even a change made by us would be caught.

4. Anyone can check it — no login

Every certified record has a public check page at /verify/{code}. Anyone with the link — an attorney, a mediator, a judge’s clerk — can confirm the record is genuine and unchanged, using a short code, without creating an account or logging in. The page never shows the content of your messages. It only answers one question: is this record genuine?

Together these safeguards are built so a record can prove on its own that it's genuine, so you shouldn't need a witness just to confirm the file is real. Each certified record also includes a signed statement from a named person at Draco Inc. confirming it is a true copy. This is not legal advice, and whether any record is accepted is always the court’s decision.

Straight talk

Who can see your messages

We would rather tell you plainly than let a marketing line create a false impression.

Your conversations are encrypted — scrambled so they can't be read by outsiders — both while they are stored and while they travel over the internet. Your messages can be seen only by the two parents in the conversation, by the system owner and admin at Draco Inc., and by anyone a parent chooses to invite — and invited people can only view, not change anything.

Here is the honest part: your messages are scrambled and access is tightly limited, but this is not the kind of setup where no one but the two parents could ever read a message. We chose this on purpose. If no one but the two parents could ever read a message, the owner could not help in an emergency, and Kinbria could not produce a court record at all. Because the whole point of Kinbria is a record you can actually use, the system has to be able to read and certify content. So we are clear about it: your content is not hidden from Kinbria or the people who run it.

Built for safety, too

Co-parenting is not always safe, and the design reflects that. Protected accounts require two-factor sign-in — a second step at login so a password alone isn't enough. The sign-in screen is deliberately vague, so an abuser cannot use it to find out whether someone has an account. Only the account owner can send invites, there are no live read-receipts, and location check-ins are optional and only roughly accurate. You can quickly delete or hide content in an emergency, and anyone facing hardship or domestic-violence circumstances gets free access automatically — because Kinbria is free, and a fair co-parenting record should never depend on who can pay.

Questions

Common questions about the flow

Can I start if my co-parent has not joined?
Yes. You can begin even if your co-parent hasn't joined — create your account and start keeping your own record right away. Whatever you send is saved to the permanent record from the start. You can invite your co-parent later, whenever the time is right.
Is it really free? What is the catch?
Free forever — no per-parent fees, and you never pay to read, export, or share your own records. We keep it free by deliberately not building the expensive stuff (in-app calling, money transfer, large file storage), and by accepting optional donations. Access to a fair co-parenting record should not depend on who can afford it.
How do I hand a record to my attorney or the court?
Make the certified record in one tap and share the file along with its link. Your attorney, a mediator, or the court can open the public page at /verify/{code} and confirm the record is genuine and unchanged — no Kinbria account required. Whether a record is accepted is always up to the judge, and this is not legal advice.
Can someone edit or delete a message after sending it?
No. The record only adds — it never edits or erases. Changing or deleting an entry after the fact would break the seals and show up right away when the record is checked — and the daily check against an outside service means even a change made by us would be caught.
Does the check page show what we talked about?
Never. The public page confirms only whether a specific record is genuine and unchanged. It does not show the content of your messages or your calendar. You control what you share and with whom.
Where does Kinbria run?
The web app is live at /app and works right in your browser. There is also a native app for iPhone and iPad that unlocks with your face or fingerprint. Kinbria is US-only at launch. Questions? Use our contact form.
