Discover different methods to share Alimentor data and explore the unique benefits of each.
This article walks you through three practical ways to share custody-related information with Alimentor. Each option has its own strengths and limits, and you can combine them to meet different needs, such as:
The following sharing methods are available:
iCloud Sync provides the simplest and most secure way to share your data.
Your records are stored in a private, secure space on Apple’s cloud system (iCloud), accessible only with your Apple ID. There’s no need to create a new account or sign in to a separate service.
How It Works:Need to Edit Together?
If you’re using Alimentor with a partner and require the ability to edit each other's records, consider using a shared device, such as a family iPad or Mac. This allows anyone with physical access to the device to create, edit, and delete records.
CalSync allows you to automatically export Alimentor records to any external calendars (e.g., iCloud, Gmail) that are configured in your device’s standard Calendar app.
This feature is especially designed for sharing a specific range of information, such as custody schedules and details about important events (doctor's appointments, extracurricular activities, parent-teacher meetings, etc.), with a wide array of recipients.
It also allows you to share your Alimentor calendar indirectly with people who, for various reasons, cannot or do not wish to install our application.
Additionally, using CalSync is an efficient way to integrate your parenting schedule into your own work calendar, helping you maintain a balance between parenting responsibilities and professional commitments.
How It Works:The detailed reports you can create with Alimentor serve two main purposes: to enable consistent and regular information sharing with the other parent and to offer strong support in mediation or court, acting as credible records of custody activities and expenses.
You can also export all your Alimentor data into a spreadsheet. This function is particularly useful for those who love delving into details. Imagine creating charts that offer a visual story of your co-parenting schedule or performing calculations that bring clarity to expenses.
Each sharing method in Alimentor serves a different purpose and comes with its own setup process and level of control. iCloud Sync is the easiest to set up and perfect for secure, full-database sharing with another Alimentor user. CalSync takes a bit more configuration but offers flexible, selective sharing with anyone using a standard calendar app. Reports and spreadsheets require the most manual effort, yet provide the highest level of customization—making them ideal for formal documentation and detailed reviews.
