Set up your family exactly as it is
Add any number of children — biological, step, or shared. Each gets their own profile, their own school details, their own carers. No limit. No required structure. No template to squeeze into.
Blended Family App
Your family doesn't fit the template.
Your app shouldn't either.
The kids have different last names, different schools, different routines. The step-parent wants to be part of it without overstepping. The co-parent needs information without conflict. You've been trying to hold it all together without a system built for any of this. Verlae is the family operating system designed for exactly your life — not a simpler version of it.

families is a blended family — yet most family apps were designed for a household where everyone lives together, shares the same last name, and follows a single schedule.Source: national family demographic surveys
The Blended Family Reality
Yours, mine, and ours — and no app built to handle all three.
You're not disorganised. You're under-resourced. The tools most families use were built for a simpler picture, and you've been bending yourself around that gap for years. Here's what that actually looks like in daily life.
-
Different children, different rules, different schools
Your kids have different custody schedules, different GPs, different school contacts, different after-school routines. Standard family apps give you one calendar, one set of children. That's not your life — and squeezing your life into that template costs you something every week.
-
The step-parent who wants to help but can't find the information
A step-parent who's genuinely invested shouldn't have to ask for every detail — but they also shouldn't see everything. There's a real middle ground there. Most apps can't find it. It ends up meaning one parent carries all the knowledge again, alone.
-
Kids who move between households — and the information that doesn't
Medications. Packed bags. What mood they're in. What's coming up that the other household needs to know. Every child transition is a transfer of information that never quite makes it across intact. Someone always finds out the hard way.
-
One person carries everything — again
Three kids' activities, two custody arrangements, one partner trying to help but missing the context. The invisible load lands on one person every time — not because others don't care, but because the information only exists in one person's head.
-
Multiple schools, multiple schedules, and no single view
Excursion notices, parent-teacher evenings, report card days, school events — for two or three different schools at once. They don't line up. There's no single place to see any of it. Something always gets missed, and it's always the one thing that mattered.
"This is an organisation problem. Organisation problems have solutions — if the tool was built for the actual problem."
What Verlae Does Differently
Built for complexity. Not simplified away from it.
Every other family app assumes your household fits a standard picture. Verlae doesn't make that assumption. It was designed to work for blended families first — which means it works for every variation of yours.
Everyone gets access that fits their role
Step-parents, co-parents, grandparents, and carers all get appropriate access — chosen by you. A step-parent can see the school schedule without seeing private co-parent notes. You control the boundary. Always.
Only in Verlae
A calm handover — every time the week changes hands
Verlae's Handover Mode sends a structured summary between households before every child transition — medications, moods, packed items, upcoming events. The right information arrives at the right time, without the frantic texts.
Every child's world visible in one calendar
Colour-coded by child, by parent, by household. All custody arrangements, school events, activities, and appointments — visible together, at a glance, for every child regardless of which family they came with.
Each child's school — in their own space
Every child gets their own school section: reports, excursions, uniform details, transport, teacher contacts, library records, and car run. Different schools, different schedules — all in one place, kept separate where it matters.
Only in Verlae
Communication that stays calm, even when it isn't easy
When co-parenting alongside a new relationship, tensions can run high. Verlae's Respectful Communication uses AI to de-escalate messages before they're sent — protecting everyone in the loop, especially the kids.
Routines that stay consistent wherever the kids are
Each child's routines, chores, and reward tracking work across households. The kids experience the same structure whether they're with you or their other parent — without you having to coordinate it every week.
Works for your exact configuration — whatever that looks like
There is no required household structure in Verlae. No box to tick, no template to conform to. These are the households that use it every day:

Verlae is the operating system for modern families. That means co-parenting tools for the complexity, and everything else a household needs for the everyday. Once your family is set up, you don't need another app for anything.

Private when it should be.
Shared when it needs to be.
Blended families have more people involved in the children's lives — which makes privacy more important, not less. Verlae keeps your household private from other households by design. Only the information that genuinely serves the children crosses that line.

Questions about blended families & Verlae
Can I add children who don't share the same parents?
Yes — completely. Each child in Verlae has their own profile, independent of who their parents are. You can add children from different relationships, assign them different carers and school details, and manage their schedules separately or together — however your blended family works.
What access does a step-parent get?
You control that entirely. When you add a step-parent to your Verlae household, you set their role and access level. They can view the calendar, the kids' routines, and the school schedule without seeing private co-parent communications or personal notes. It's always your decision — and you can adjust it at any time.
What if my children have different custody arrangements?
Each child can have their own independent custody schedule in the calendar. Verlae doesn't force all your children onto the same arrangement — because they're not. You manage each child's schedule separately, and the calendar shows you the complete picture at once.
Does the other household need to use Verlae?
No. You get full value as a single household. Handover summaries can be shared externally as a link or PDF — the other household sees what they need without needing an account. When they're ready to join, the invite takes 30 seconds and costs them nothing extra.
Can I keep my notes and budget private from co-parents?
Yes. Each household has its own private space inside Verlae. You control exactly what crosses household lines — only information you explicitly choose to share is visible to a co-parent or step-parent. Your personal planning, notes, and budget remain completely private unless you share them.
How many children and adults can I add?
Unlimited. One Verlae subscription covers your whole household — every child, every adult with a role in your family. There's no per-person pricing, no additional cost to add a step-parent, and no cap on the number of profiles.
Is Verlae available where I live?
Yes. Verlae works on iPhone, Android, and any web browser, allowing families around the world to stay organised together. We aim to respond to every enquiry within one business day.
Yours, mine, and ours — finally in one place.
