Our Story

Built by a Co-Parent,For Co-Parents

KCoNest was born from personal experience—the struggle of co-parenting without the right tools, the financial stress, and the desire to do better for our children.

The Beginning

From Personal Struggle to Platform

In 2022, I found myself navigating one of life's most challenging transitions: co-parenting after separation. Like many parents, I quickly realized that the hardest part wasn't the logistics—it was the communication.

Text messages got lost in threads. Important documents were scattered across emails. Expenses were tracked on scraps of paper. Worse yet, every commercial co-parenting app I tried came with a hefty price tag—money I simply didn't have while supporting two households.

I'm a software developer by trade. One sleepless night, frustrated by another miscommunication, I thought: "What if I built something different? Something that actually helped, was easy to use, and didn't drain already-tight budgets?"

That night, KCoNest was born.

The Struggle

Going through separation, juggling two households, trying to communicate effectively

The Idea

Late nights coding a solution that could help families like mine

The Launch

Released free to the world, committed to helping every family, not just those who can afford it

K

"I built KCoNest not as a business, but as the tool I desperately needed. If it helps even one family communicate better, co-parent more peacefully, and give their children a more stable environment—it's worth every hour I've invested."

Peaceful co-parent relationships
Accessible tools for everyone
Stronger families, together
Why 100% Free?

Because Every Family Deserves These Tools

Here's why KCoNest will always be completely free

It's Personal

I lived through the financial strain of separation. I know what it's like to count every pound while trying to provide for two households. The last thing struggling families need is another monthly subscription.

Help Should Be Universal

Good co-parenting tools shouldn't be a luxury for those who can afford them. Children don't benefit less from organized co-parenting because their parents have less money. Every family deserves access.

No Hidden Agenda

This isn't a business model. There are no "premium" features coming. No ads, no data selling, no upsells. KCoNest is a mission, not a money-making scheme. Your trust matters more than revenue.

Community Support

Those who can afford to donate keep the servers running. Those who can't still get full access to every feature. It's simple: we all support each other, just like co-parenting itself.

Our Promise

KCoNest will be 100% free, forever. No features behind paywalls, no premium tiers, no ads, no tricks. If you want to support us, you can donate—but you'll never be required to.
