Different Together

Different Together supports parents through the hard moments with their child: the morning meltdown, the screen that just won't go off, the “no” that tips everything over. In a few minutes, you look at what happened on your side and on theirs, then choose a concrete next step. Without giving up on limits, and without judging yourself.

The app is designed so you can do without it. At first it guides you step by step; then, situation after situation, it lets you find your own words, until these reflexes become yours, and your child's. If someone is in danger, or you feel you're losing your footing, “Who to call?” shows the helplines for your country.

No account, no ads, no analytics on your writing: your situations stay on your phone. To understand your story, the app uses the AI built into your phone when it has one, so nothing leaves it; otherwise its offline analysis sends nothing. No label is ever put on your child. In 10 languages.

Things are heating up!
One button for the moments when everything boils over: breathe first, then know what to do right now.
Understand what happened
Separate the facts from what you think about them, name what you feel and need, and imagine what your child is going through at their age. More than 50 everyday situations, from toddler to teen.
My words
The body compass to find the right word for a feeling, six questions to uncover the need underneath, your inner weather in 30 seconds and a weekly challenge.
Together
Hand your phone to your child so they can share their feelings and needs, with pictures and a voice that reads for them. Teens get their own space protected by a code.
Repair, and look after yourself
Ideas for reconnecting after things went wrong. Breathe, let off steam, note your wins as a parent, plan a calm talk with a reminder, and support for the evenings when you have nothing left.
My journal
All your situations in one place. Over time you see what keeps coming back: the hard moments, the feelings, the actions that help.

Different Together is inspired by Nonviolent Communication (NVC), respectful parenting and child development milestones. It does not replace a professional.
