Memoria — a AppClose alternative

AppClose ended its free tier in January 2026 (now ~$8.99/month per parent). Memoria is a free AppClose alternative for amicable co-parents — one household plan, no per-parent fee.

Looking for an AppClose alternative because the free ride ended? AppClose retired its free tier on 1 January 2026 and moved to about $8.99/month per parent (roughly $108/year), so co-parents who’d used it for free for years are shopping around. For amicable co-parents, Memoria is a clean landing spot: a shared custody calendar both homes can see, role-based access for both parents and any guardians, and reminders that fill themselves from forwarded school circulars, fee notes and medical cards — on a free tier, with a single ₹299/month household plan (one charge, not per parent) if you outgrow it. Memoria is intentionally not a court-evidence tool and it doesn’t split expenses; if those are essential, a co-parenting-specific app fits better. But if what you actually need is a shared calendar and the paperwork kept in one place, Memoria does it without a per-parent bill.

Migration

Switching from AppClose to Memoria.

There is no two-way sync — but there is no lock-in either. One-time, one-way, no data left behind.

  1. Forward your last month. Send your most recent AppCloseentries — school circulars, fee notes, warranty cards, insurance emails — to your Memoria number or email alias. Captures parse and back-fill in a day.
  2. Pin the Memoria reminder feed. Once your items are in, the calendar and reminder feed become the daily surface. Keep AppClose open in parallel for the first 30 days to verify nothing slipped.
  3. Cancel when you are sure. After a month of parallel use, most households unsubscribe from AppClose. Memoria keeps your full history, exports everything as an archive, and never holds your data hostage.

FAQ

Is there a free AppClose alternative in 2026?

Memoria is one for amicable co-parents. After AppClose moved to ~$8.99/month per parent on 1 January 2026, you can use Memoria’s free tier for a shared custody calendar and move to a single ₹299/month household plan — one charge for both parents — only if you need unlimited items and the vault.

Does the AppClose alternative work for both parents’ homes?

Yes. Both parents (and any guardians) get role-based access to the same shared custody calendar and documents, so each home sees the schedule, the school dates and the paperwork. Memoria isn’t a court-evidence or expense-splitting tool, so if your situation needs those, keep an app built for them.
