Thread Notes
Clearhavn is the calm, cross-platform alternative to MyCourtClerk, Alimentor 2, and the spreadsheet you've been keeping. Built specifically for family-law cases โ custody, support, protective orders โ not generic case management.
Where Alimentor 2 is iPhone-only and a one-time purchase, Clearhavn works on any device and syncs across web, iOS, and Android. Where MyCourtClerk pushes a heavier interface, Clearhavn stays calm and focused. Where a spreadsheet stops working at 50 events, Clearhavn surfaces patterns automatically.
Key features: โข Event log with severity, location, and per-event evidence attachments โข Issue tags (custody schedule, communication, school, medical) with pattern detection โข Calendar of upcoming hearings, deadlines, exchanges โข Witnesses, parties, children, and court orders in one workspace โข Court-ready PDF chronology and full case-packet export (Pro) โข Read-only attorney sharing โ invite by email, revoke anytime (Pro)
Free for one case. Pro is $12/month. Cancel anytime.

Clearhavn's answer
If you're preparing for a custody hearing or working with an attorney, you spend more time documenting than scheduling โ and existing tools either focus on co-parent communication (OurFamilyWizard, TalkingParents) or scheduling (Custody X Change). Clearhavn focuses on the documentation layer: events with linked evidence, witnesses, court orders, and a one-click court-ready chronology PDF.
Clearhavn's answer
Primary audience: self-represented parents preparing for custody, support, or protective-order hearings โ people who need a court-ready record but can't justify $40-100/month per parent.
Secondary audience: parents working with a family-law attorney who want to show up to meetings organized instead of emailing 47 unsorted screenshots. Pro plans include read-only attorney sharing so counsel can review the case on their own time.
Clearhavn's answer
Ryan Marshall built Clearhavn after going through his own family-law case and realizing the existing tools fell into three buckets: spreadsheets that fell apart at 50 events, iPhone-only apps stuck in a one-time-purchase model from a decade ago, or enterprise legal software priced for law firms. There wasn't a calm, modern, cross-platform tool built for the parent โ just for the lawyer or the time tracker.
Clearhavn is what he needed at 11 PM on a Sunday trying to assemble a chronology before a Wednesday hearing. It's now used by self-represented parents and clients of family-law attorneys to organize their case into a clear, court-ready record.
