The short answer
2houses is a co-parenting app from Belgium with a shared calendar, expenses, messages, a journal and an information bank. It costs €99 a year per family after a 14-day trial, and one subscription covers both parents – fairer than apps where each parent pays.
MamaPapaWeek focuses on the part most families open every day: the custody schedule. It is free, works without registering the whole family, and the other parent simply opens a link.

What you get with MamaPapaWeek
- Rotations ready to use. Alternating weeks, 2-2-3, 2-2-5-5, every other weekend and more, with a preview of the whole year before you save.
- Today at a glance. Who has the children today, which day of the block it is and when the next handover takes place.
- Handover packing list. Medicine, homework, the charger – the list travels with the reminder.
- Swaps in one tap. Exchange a weekend or mark school holidays directly on the day.
- Yearly balance. Days and percentage with each parent over the year.
- Print and sync. A4 PDF for the fridge, and a subscription link for Google Calendar or Apple Calendar.
When 2houses is the better choice
- You want one place for the calendar and expenses, messages and documents.
- Grandparents, a new partner or a mediator should have their own login with access rights.
- You already keep years of history in 2houses and rely on it.
If your family has been paying mainly for the calendar, MamaPapaWeek can replace that part for free – and you can keep messaging in whatever app you already use.
Moving your schedule over
- Open MamaPapaWeek and pick the rotation you use in 2houses.
- Choose the next handover day and who has the children now; check the year preview.
- Save and share the link with the other parent. Swaps and holidays can be added later with one tap.
