What Alimentor 2 does better

Alimentor 2 is a focused, polished tool. The custody time percentage calculation is genuinely useful — Clearhavn doesn't calculate timeshare automatically. GPS-stamped exchanges are a real feature for high-conflict situations where arrival times matter. The one-time $6.99 price is a meaningful difference if you're wary of subscriptions, and the 4.8 star App Store rating from 1.3K reviews speaks to a tool that has served its users well. If you live entirely in the Apple ecosystem and the core need is custody time tracking, Alimentor is the right pick.

What Clearhavn does better

Clearhavn is broader. It treats your case as a full record: events with 13 categories, witnesses, court orders, parties, issues, journals, tasks. It works on any device — web, iPhone, Android — so you can log on whatever you have with you. The read-only attorney sharing is something Alimentor doesn't offer at all, and pattern detection surfaces trends across dozens of events that you'd never spot in a calendar. If your case is more complicated than just custody time tracking, or if you want to bring an attorney in to review your record without sending a zip file, Clearhavn is built for that.

Can you use both?

Some people do. Alimentor for daily exchange logs and timeshare math. Clearhavn for the broader case record, attorney sharing, and court-ready exports. They serve adjacent purposes and don't conflict. If you're already happy with Alimentor, you don't have to leave to start using Clearhavn for the parts it doesn't cover.
