Co-Parent Assist suggests a tone.
Civly hands you the sentence.
AppClose charges $7.99/month on the web, or $83.88 prepaid for a year, and launched Co-Parent Assist™ for tone suggestions. Civly Rewrite goes further — full AI rewrites, conflict scoring, private vent mode, and timestamped records for $79/year (or $7.99/mo).

Co-Parent Assist™ vs Civly Rewrite
In May 2026 AppClose launched Co-Parent Assist™ — an optional real-time tone and clarity review that offers guidance before you send a message. It also added Spanish language support. Here's how it stacks up against Civly Rewrite.
AppClose Co-Parent Assist™
- •Real-time tone & clarity suggestions
- •Optional — can be toggled on/off
- •Guidance only — you still write the message yourself
- •No conflict scoring
- •No vent separation
- •No timestamps
Civly Rewrite
- Full AI rewrite based on Bill Eddy's BIFF method (Brief, Informative, Friendly, Firm)
- Conflict scoring on a 1–5 scale for every message
- Private vent separation — raw emotions never sent, visible only to you
- Calm, factual output with timestamps
- Voice-to-text compose — speak angry, send calm (automatic BIFF rewrite)
The bottom line: Co-Parent Assist™ nudges you in the right direction. Civly rewrites the message for you — and scores, hashes, and timestamps it for court.
The real difference
AppClose launched in 2017 as a free co-parenting app with basic messaging, a shared calendar, and expense tracking. For years, "free" was its biggest selling point — courts even ordered parents to use it because it cost nothing.
That's changed. AppClose now charges $7.99/month on the web, or $83.88 prepaid for a year. In May 2026 they added Co-Parent Assist™ — real-time tone suggestions — and Spanish language support. If you were court-ordered to use AppClose when it was free, you're now paying for it. Co-Parent Assist reviews tone before you send; Civly rewrites the message and hands it back for your approval. Civly also adds conflict scoring, a private vent space, and SHA-256 hashed timestamped records.
Civly was built for high-conflict co-parenting from day one. Every message can be rewritten using the BIFF method. Every conversation gets a conflict score. You can vent privately without your co-parent ever seeing it. Your records are timestamped and exportable.
AppClose is $7.99/month on the web, or $83.88 prepaid for a year, and gives you tone suggestions. Civly costs $79/year (or $7.99/mo) and rewrites your messages for you. Everything included.
