Handemova

One calm calendar for kids with two homes.

Both parents see the same nights, handovers and school dates. Swaps need the other parent's yes, and nothing can be quietly changed later. Built for Australian families, with every state's school terms and public holidays included.

Free for both parents. Works on any phone, no app store needed. No ads, no location tracking.

Made for real life

Tonight, at a glance

Whose home, the next 7 nights, the next handover.

Swaps without the argument

Ask, approve, done. No chat thread to escalate.

School holidays, sorted

Term dates and public holidays for every state and territory (including NSW Western division schools), with simple rules for splitting breaks.

Your records are yours

Download everything, free, any time. No location tracking. No ads.

Patterns that match your plan

Week on / week off, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, alternate weekends plus a midweek night, and 1st, 3rd and 5th weekends. Then one-off swaps and school-holiday rules on top.

Fair by design

Both parents see the same calendar, and both parents follow the same rules. Neither of you can quietly change the past: every change is kept in a tamper-evident history.

Safe by design

Messages only switch on if you both agree, either parent can block, and Handemova never tracks where you are. If cost is a barrier or you are experiencing family violence, ask and we will unlock Family Plus for free, no proof needed. If you or your children are unsafe, call 000; 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) is there 24/7.

School notices, in both homes

Paste or upload, we find the dates

School emails from Seesaw, Connect (WA), Compass, Sentral, SEQTA, School Bytes, Xuno, Daymap, Schoolbox, Canvas, Google Classroom and Schoolzine, plus newsletters (PDF) and calendar files (.ics). Excursions, pupil-free days and carnivals come back as suggestions, each with the sentence it came from. If an email only says "log in to see it" (common with ClassDojo, Operoo, QParents and some Compass alerts), we tell you so you can paste the text.

You confirm, both homes see it

Nothing is added by itself. Tap "Add to calendar" and it's in the shared calendar for both homes. A private forwarding address for each family is coming soon.

"Where is it?"

Track the jumper, the drink bottle and the favourite toy. See which home they're at, flip "it's at the other house" in one tap, and see them on the handover bring-list.

Optional: ask your AI assistant

If you use ChatGPT, Claude or another assistant, connect it with a private link and ask "who has the kids Friday?" or "what do they need for handover?".

Plain questions, straight answers

Connect Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP-compatible assistant with a private link. Ask whose night it is, when the next handovers are, what's coming up and what to pack.

Read-only unless you say so

Connections can only read by default. You can allow "request a swap". It only creates a request your co-parent still has to approve.

Your co-parent's privacy stays put

Their private "Busy" time is never shared with your assistant. Each connection can be switched off any time, and every request is listed for you to check.

Free for both parents

The free plan covers both parents, for good. Optional Family Plus covers the whole family for A$79 a year (proposed), with 30 days free for new families and a A$29 three-month pass for mediation. The invited parent never pays. See pricing.
