Inbox

Somewhere between email and a chat app

Every conversation sits in one inbox, sorted by what's still open, so you always know what still needs a reply.

“Finally, a conversation you can find again.”

Why not just WhatsApp?

Not just another chat app

Each thread carries a subject and a reason, so school fees never get buried under last night's joke.

Questions about Messages

Is this a chat app?

No, deliberately. Cofamly Messages sits between email and messaging: conversations are threads with subjects and categories rather than one running feed, because co-parenting communication needs to be findable months later.

What happened to Cofamly Loops?

Cofamly Loops is now called Cofamly Messages. The name changed because most people did not recognise what “Loops” meant. The feature itself is the same.

Can I see whether the other parent read my message?

Yes. Threads carry a read indication, so you know an update has actually landed.

Can I attach files?

Yes. Documents can be uploaded into a thread, so important paperwork stays attached to the conversation it belongs to.

Can a conversation be linked to a calendar event?

Yes. A thread can be attached to an event in Cofamly Calendar, so the discussion about a trip sits on the trip.
