Who makes it
Oya Shield is made by Scarsian Limited, a company based in Hong Kong. You can reach us at hello@scarsian.com. For help with the app, see the support page.
Why it was built
Separated parents carry a lot in their heads: who picked up when, which appointment moved, who paid for what and whether it was ever paid back. Most of the time none of that needs to be written down. Then someone asks what happened in March, and the answer rests on memory, scattered texts and receipts that are long gone.
Most co-parenting tools are shared platforms, built for both parents to join. Many parents can’t get that agreement, or don’t want every note to live somewhere the other person can see it. Oya Shield was built for them: one parent, one private record, nothing to negotiate.
It is meant to stay quiet. Most weeks you log a few details in two minutes and move on. If you ever need to give a mediator, a lawyer or yourself a clear account of what happened, the dates and details are already there.
Our stance on privacy
Your record is private to your account, sent over encrypted connections and stored with access controls. The other parent is never told it exists, and nothing is shared unless you export it or give a lawyer or mediator a read-only view, which you can end at any time. Records sync to your account so they aren’t tied to one phone. When Apple Intelligence reads message screenshots or receipts, that analysis runs on your iPhone and nothing is uploaded for it, and every result is a draft you confirm. Read the full Privacy Policy.
What Oya Shield is not
It is a documentation tool, not a law firm and not a messaging service. It does not give legal advice, and no app can decide how a court or mediator will treat a record. For guidance on your situation, talk to a qualified family-law professional.
