ReConnect

What ReConnect does

ReConnect is a privately held, founder-led company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that has developed and published a free iOS mobile application targeted at teens and parents navigating divorce and family restructuring. The app centers on a small set of differentiated features: a shared custody calendar that reduces scheduling ambiguity, a private journaling module with therapist-approved prompts and an emotion survey, mood check-ins, and curated resources for both teens and parents on topics such as guilt, boundaries, and co-parenting communication. The product is explicitly designed for privacy ('Private. Secure. Built for you') and is built as a single self-serve consumer application distributed via the Apple App Store under the name 'Reconnect Families.'

The underlying technology stack is a standard iOS mobile application with no disclosed AI/ML components, third-party integrations, SDKs, or APIs. Content is therapist-informed but static, and there is no evidence of automation, personalization models, or data flywheel mechanics. Distribution is entirely product-led and organic, relying on a WordPress-hosted blog, feature pages, and an active presence on TikTok (@re_connect_families) and Instagram (@reconnect_org) to reach teen and parent audiences at the top of the funnel. The company runs an explicit beta program recruiting families currently experiencing divorce, and the homepage openly invites therapists, educators, family law professionals, and investors to partner.

ReConnect's business model is currently free/freemium with no pricing tiers publicly disclosed and no funding rounds, investors, or revenue figures in the source material. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, ownership is founder-owned and bootstrapped, and the sole disclosed leadership and partnership relationship is with founder/developer Leah Schuerkamp. The company is operating, actively maintaining its website and app store presence, and is positioned as an early-stage consumer mental health and family wellness product rather than a scaled SaaS or B2B enterprise.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Calm: Large consumer mental wellness app with sleep, meditation, and mood tools. Adjacent to ReConnect's emotional regulation features but lacks divorce-specific or family-coordination functionality.
• Headspace: Mass-market mental wellness and meditation app with a dedicated kids/teens offering. Comparable to ReConnect on teen mindfulness content, but broader and more general in scope.
• Cozi Family Organizer: Family calendar and organizer app used broadly by parents. Comparable to ReConnect on shared family scheduling, though not divorce-specific or teen-mental-health focused.
• BetterHelp: Large online therapy platform with teen counseling options. Comparable to ReConnect's therapist-informed positioning, though it offers live clinical care rather than self-serve tools.

Emerging players

• Wysa: AI-driven mental health chatbot app widely used by teens and young adults. Comparable to ReConnect on teen-targeted emotional support and journaling/mood-tracking, but more clinical in positioning.
• 7 Cups: Emotional support and peer-to-peer listener platform with teen-friendly resources. Comparable to ReConnect's peer support and teen emotional wellness features, though it operates at significantly larger scale.

Direct peers

• 2houses: Co-parenting and shared-family organization app popular in Europe, offering shared calendars, expense tracking, and information exchange. Comparable to ReConnect's family-coordination and custody-tracking functionality.
• OurFamilyWizard: A leading co-parenting communication and scheduling platform used by separated families. Highly comparable to ReConnect's custody calendar and co-parenting features, though it focuses primarily on the parents rather than the teens themselves.
• AppClose: Free co-parenting app with shared calendars, expense tracking, and an in-app messenger. Competes directly with ReConnect's custody calendar and family-coordination features for separating and divorced parents.
• TalkingParents: Co-parenting app offering shared calendars, messaging, and record-keeping for high-conflict families. Comparable to ReConnect on the custody/scheduling and parent-communication dimensions, with a similar direct-to-consumer family target.
