From court orders to text messages to school records — one place for your case file.

Custody cases involve many kinds of records, often spanning years. CustodyGuard keeps everything organized, searchable, and ready when you need it.

Records, organized

Index your documents — court filings, orders, evaluations, financial records — into 13 hierarchical categories. Batch upload auto‑extracts dates from filenames.

Incidents, dated

Log exchange issues, missed communications, and other events as they happen. Attach photos, screenshots, and supporting files.

TalkingParents import

Drop in a TalkingParents PDF export — parses messages with timestamps, senders, and content automatically. Works on long exports.

Pattern detection

Highlight language across 10 research‑backed categories — useful for spotting trends in long communication threads. You decide what's relevant.

Child logs & calendar

Track visitations, calls, homework, medical appointments, and school events. The calendar view shows your records over time.

PDF reports

Generate clean PDFs of your incidents, communications, custom timelines, and case summaries — useful for sharing with your attorney.

Privacy‑first by design

Nothing leaves your browser.

CustodyGuard runs entirely in your browser. There's no account, no cloud, no server logs. Choose to save locally or work in a no‑save session and export when you're done. Backup and restore is a single JSON file you control.

No account required

Open the app and start working. Nothing to sign up for.

No cloud sync

Your data never leaves your device.

Nothing to subpoena

We don't have your case file. We can't produce what we don't store.

A note on Pro+: we're working on an optional cloud‑storage tier for users who want their case file to sync across devices. When it launches, it will use a different storage model with its own clearly stated tradeoffs. Free and Pro will always remain browser‑only.

Free to start — and Pro is free in beta.

Case organization is free forever. Pro adds pattern detection and reports — and while CustodyGuard is in beta, it's free for everyone. Pro+ is on the way.

While CustodyGuard is in beta, every Pro feature is free for everyone — no payment and no signup. Free and Pro store data in your browser only. Pro+ will store your case file in a private workspace, encrypted in transit and at rest, never shared, and never used for anything other than the analysis you request. We'll share more details as we get closer to launch.
