What Our Days is designed for
Our Days is a co-parenting calendar app built around one problem: whose kids are with whom, and when. The product offers custody schedule management, swap requests, pickup and dropoff location check-ins, and a parenting-percentage counter. The engine draws on Texas standard possession order logic, which produces ready-built schedules for Texas families but requires manual configuration for parents outside that framework. The app was founded by a family law attorney, which shapes the legal-reference orientation of the features. Our Days targets parents who want a clear, no-frills custody calendar without expense tracking or messaging bundled in.
What Our Days does well
Our Days has genuine strengths in the narrow space it occupies. The custody swap request workflow is clean, one parent requests a change, the other approves or declines, the calendar updates. The parenting-percentage display gives both parents a live view of time distribution, which is useful for parents tracking compliance against a court order or tax documentation. The interface is simple enough that less tech-comfortable parents can learn it quickly. For Texas families using standard possession orders, the auto-generated schedule saves the manual entry work that other apps require.
Where Our Days is thin
Our Days has no expense reimbursement workflow, no messaging, and no document storage, the app is a calendar and nothing else. User reviews flag a recurring set of bugs: save and edit failures where changes to certain months do not persist or do not display correctly, and an inability to add children's activities and events alongside custody assignments. The GPS location check-in feature tracks pickup and dropoff, which is useful for high-conflict families but is exactly the kind of surveillance infrastructure that cooperative families neither need nor want. The Texas-law engine does not generalize well to families outside Texas.
Pricing reality
Our Days charges $4.99 per month or $35.99 per year ($2.99/month equivalent) per parent, with no free tier, only a free trial. Both parents must pay separately, and which parent is responsible for the other's subscription is a recurring source of confusion in user reviews. The combined annual cost for a co-parenting pair is approximately $72 per year at the monthly rate, or $72 at the annual rate if both parents subscribe to the yearly plan. The app provides a calendar only. That pricing structure makes Our Days the same annual cost as most broader tools, without the features that justify the price for families who need more than scheduling.
Which family fits which app
Our Days fits a specific family profile: Texas-based or willing to manually configure schedules, primarily amicable, with no need for expense tracking or messaging through the co-parenting tool, and focused on custody calendar accuracy above all else. The parenting-percentage counter and swap workflow serve that use case well. Families outside Texas, families that want expense reimbursement, families with step-parents or additional caregivers who need household access, and families who have encountered the save/edit bugs in reviews will find the app more limiting than its price suggests.
How CoFam approaches the same problems
CoFam's calendar is overnight-aware and schedule-driven, the custody pattern is entered once and the calendar renders proportional time blocks automatically, rather than requiring individual event entry. The time-share percentage updates live without a separate counter. Swap requests work through CoFam's proposals system, which logs the request and response with timestamps. Expenses run through a reimbursement workflow with category rules and a running ledger both parents can see. The household supports up to twelve members, so step-parents and grandparents have defined roles. CoFam charges $7.99 per month or $79 per year for the entire family, one parent pays, and the other parent's account is always free, which directly eliminates the who-pays ambiguity that Our Days users cite as a top complaint.
