About CallCustodian
Hi — I’m the founder of CallCustodian. I didn’t start by trying to build a “startup.” I started by trying to keep my kids safe.
During a difficult custody situation, my ex-wife had court-ordered phone visitation with our kids. The calls needed to be monitored and documented to ensure nothing was said that would go against the court’s orders — and to make sure the truth would be clear if false accusations ever showed up later.
I tried the usual options. They were either expensive, complicated, or required everyone to install an app. None of that worked for real life — especially when you need a system that’s reliable, consistent, and easy to use.
What I needed
- Inbound calls recorded automatically — without changing how anyone dials.
- A clear recording notice so everyone understands what’s happening before the call connects.
- A simple history of call times, durations, and outcomes — so nothing depends on memory.
- Documentation of what was said — so the facts are there when they matter.
How CallCustodian helped
The combination of an automated recording notice and a reliable call history created a safer, calmer environment for my kids. And if something ever needed to be clarified for the court, the record was there — timestamps, call details, and documentation — instead of a messy “he said / she said.”
Why we launched
After sharing the setup with other parents in similar situations, I heard the same thing over and over: “I need this, but I don’t have time to duct-tape tools together.” So I turned what I built for my own life into CallCustodian — a simple way to track and record inbound calls without expensive or complex software.
A quick note on compliance
Recording laws vary by location. CallCustodian provides automated recording notice and tools to support compliance, but you remain responsible for using the service lawfully and following any applicable court orders.
If CallCustodian could help you create more structure, safety, and clarity around inbound calls, we’d be honored to earn your trust.
