Four reasons people start solo

You don't need a co-parent's buy-in to start keeping a real record. These are the situations where solo mode makes the most sense.

1

You're spending. You have no organized record.

Receipts in your camera roll, amounts in your head, a rough number somewhere in a notes app. FairLedger puts it all in one place: organized, categorized, and timestamped.

2

Your co-parent won't use an app together.

Their cooperation is not required. You can log expenses, attach receipts, and build a real record starting today. Invite them later if the situation changes.

3

You want to know what you've actually spent.

Medical, school, activities, transportation: a running total by category so you know the real number, not a rough guess from memory.

4

Things might escalate, and you want to be ready.

A record you build before you need it is worth more than one you reconstruct after. Timestamped entries and attached receipts hold up in a way that memory and screenshots do not.

What's included

Everything you need to keep a real record

Solo mode is the full FairLedger product used by one parent. Every feature works from day one, and nothing changes if you eventually invite your co-parent.

Running total, always current

Every entry you add updates your running balance automatically. Know the real number of what you've spent, broken down by category.

Receipts attached to every entry

Photo or PDF attached directly to the expense it supports. Not floating in your camera roll. Right where it belongs.

Timestamped at entry

The record shows when you logged the expense, not when you got around to it. Contemporaneous entries carry more weight than reconstructed ones.

Custody calendar

Log custody schedules, events, and important dates. A record of who had the kids and when, in the same place as your expenses.

Documents, organized

Parenting plans, insurance cards, medical records: uploaded once, accessible whenever you need them, not buried in an email chain.

Export anytime

One-tap PDF: every entry, every category subtotal, your running balance, and every receipt reference. Ready for review, mediation, or court.

Solo or shared

Everything you need now.
More when they join.

If it ever matters

The best time to start your record is before you need it

A solo record isn't jointly verified, but it's still far more credible than trying to reconstruct months of history later. Timestamped entries, receipts, and contemporaneous notes create a foundation that's difficult to recreate after a disagreement begins.

✓
Capture the details while they're fresh Dates, amounts, receipts, and notes are easiest to document when the expense actually happens, not months later from memory.
✓
Protect the integrity of your records Once your co-parent joins, new entries become part of a shared history that can't simply be rewritten.
✓
Ready when an attorney asks Generate a clean PDF with transactions, receipts, balances, and adjustments for any date range.

The path forward

Invite them when you're ready.
Or don't.

Solo mode is a complete product on its own. If circumstances change and your co-parent is ready to join, the transition takes seconds and nothing gets lost.

1

Start tracking today

Add expenses, attach receipts, and log events. No co-parent invite required to get started.

2

Your record is credible from day one

Timestamped and structured: a real history of what you spent and when, even before anyone else joins.

3

Invite them if the time comes

Send an invite and your ledger becomes shared. Entries move from solo records to jointly acknowledged ones the moment they join.

4

Nothing to re-enter

Everything you logged solo carries forward. No rework, no data migration, no starting over.

Pricing

Solo or shared.
Same plan, same price.

One plan covers everything. Start solo, invite your co-parent whenever you'd like. No upgrade required either way.
