Safety Built Into Every Feature

CommonGround was designed with survivors in mind. Every feature prioritizes your safety and minimizes contact with your co-parent.

GPS Verification

Silent, automatic location logging at every exchange. Build a timestamped, verifiable record without any interaction.

Zero Direct Contact

All communication runs through ARIA's AI filter. No phone calls, no texts, no face-to-face conversation required.

Third-Party Witnesses

Invite trusted contacts from your Circle to receive real-time exchange notifications and logs.

Court-Ready Documentation

Every exchange creates an immutable, timestamped record with location data ready for legal proceedings.

Pattern Documentation

Track late arrivals, no-shows, and schedule violations over time. Generate compliance reports automatically.

Privacy Protection

Your address is never shared. Exchange locations can be set to neutral, public spaces.

How Safe Handoff Works

Simple, silent, and fully documented.

1

Schedule Through the App

Set up exchange times and locations without any direct communication. ARIA handles all coordination.

2

Arrive and Check In

GPS silently logs your arrival time and location. No need to speak to or see the other parent.

3

Complete the Handoff

Confirm the exchange with one tap. Both parents' check-ins create a verified record.

4

Automatic Documentation

Every exchange is logged with timestamps, locations, and compliance status for court records.

I haven't had to speak to my ex in 8 months. Every exchange is documented, and my attorney has everything she needs for our case.

The GPS logging gave me proof when he kept showing up late. The court finally took my concerns seriously because I had documentation.

A Note on Safety

While CommonGround provides documentation and reduces contact, it cannot guarantee physical safety. If you are in immediate danger, contact law enforcement or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. If you have a protective order, ensure your co-parent is aware of its terms. CommonGround documentation can support but does not replace legal protections.
