The everyday
The logistics have a home too.
Between the large decisions is a year of small ones: who has which weekend, who paid the dentist, what the sitter needs to know. Handling those quietly is what keeps the big conversations about the big things.

Calendar and schedule
The pattern at a glance.
Days fill in each person's color, so the rotation is legible without reading a paragraph. Exceptions are spelled out rather than implied, and holidays follow whatever the two of you settled in the deck.
Swaps are a proposal and a clean yes or no. Accept and the calendar updates for both of you, with the change on the record.

Expenses
A running settle-up.
Log what you spend on your child, and the balance computes from your actual support ratio rather than a guess at halves. At the end of a period one of you proposes settling it, and the other confirms, exactly like every other decision in the app.
The small things
Handoff notes
What the other household should know this week, written once instead of relayed at a curb.
Care card
Pediatrician, allergies, medications, the sitter list. One page either of you can hand to anyone.
Travel consent
Consent letters for trips, filled from what the app already knows and printable before you leave.
Belongings
Where the cleats and the retainer actually are, tracked without a phone call.
Milestones
A shared, chronological record of your kid growing up; both write, both read.
The digest
One weekly email.
That is the entire notification strategy, and it is a feature. The two things that genuinely need you are batched daily. Quiet hours are on by default.
