About Raposa
I built Raposa because separated families need one calm record of what actually happened.
Not another place to argue. Not a legal engine. Not a scorecard for who is the better parent. Just a shared care record that can hold the daily facts without turning every small thing into a new fight.
I kept coming back to the same problem: when parents separate, the ordinary logistics of care do not become ordinary just because the relationship ended. School letters still arrive. Handovers still happen. Expenses still need receipts. Messages still need context. A child still has a week, a home, a bag, a medicine dose, a missed pickup, a change of plan.
But the record of those things is usually scattered across texts, email, screenshots, memory, WhatsApp, paper, and whoever had the energy to write it down that day. When things are calm, that is annoying. When things are tense, it becomes expensive, unfair, and sometimes impossible to reconstruct.
Raposa is my attempt to make the record boring in the best possible way: one place for messages, schedules, handovers, expenses, documents, and exports. A place that is calm enough to use before there is a crisis, and structured enough to be useful if a solicitor, mediator, attorney, or court later needs to understand the history.
I am deliberately not building a product that tells a parent what the law means, predicts what a court will do, scores behaviour, or says who is right. That is not the job of software, and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise.
Raposa holds what was true; does not make legal/custody/benefit determinations
The product can help you keep a clearer record. It can help you export that record. It can help the adults around a child work from the same facts instead of fragments. It cannot replace a lawyer, mediator, family court, benefits adviser, safeguarding service, or emergency response.
I do not want Raposa to feel like a courtroom in your pocket. Most separated families are not in court most of the time. They are trying to get through school mornings, dentist appointments, childcare, holidays, payments, and the thousand small pieces of life that still need coordination.
So the tone matters. Raposa should be plain, specific, and calm. It should make it easier to write down what happened without escalating the moment. It should help a parent show the record later without having to perform pain, anger, or perfection.
If Raposa works, the product disappears a little. The care record becomes easier to keep. The facts are less scattered. The next conversation starts from something firmer than memory.
