Family travel, trail-tested.
For parents who used to travel without thinking, and now navigate every trip with kids. We handle the customs questions, the gate confusions, the medical-info fumbling — so you can be on the trip with your kids, not running it.

The setup
You used to travel without thinking about it.
You'd book a flight, pack a bag, and figure the rest out at the airport. Then you had kids. Now the same trip has three airline apps for one family's flights, a customs container surprise you find out about at security, and a packing list that doesn't know how old your kid is.
Coterra is built around the friction your last trip surfaced — not the one a marketing team imagined. We carry the planning weight so the trip lands where it should: with your kids, not in your notes app.
Customs lookup · ships in v1
Know what you can bring back.
Maple syrup from Canada, an unopened bottle of mezcal from Mexico, a Cuban cigar your cousin bought you legally in Toronto. Some are fine. Some are restricted. One can't come home with you under any circumstance.
Coterra's customs lookup tells you which is which, plain language, before you pack the carry-on. Every answer cites the actual government rule it came from — US Customs and Border Protection, USDA, TSA, or the destination country's own authority — with a 'last verified' date so you can verify it yourself.
Pick the maple syrup in 30 seconds at the till — not 30 minutes of Googling while your toddler reaches for a snow globe.

Family flights · ships in v1
Your family's flights in one place.
Forward each airline confirmation to your trip inbox. Coterra pulls them together into a single view — kids on lap-infant tickets, the partner booked on a separate PNR because of points, the leg where the airline that sold the ticket is not the one actually flying.
No app per airline. No re-typing flight numbers. One view, ordered by departure, with the gates and terminals your family actually shows up at.
The conversation in the back of the cab can be about the trip, not which terminal.

Emergency card · ships in v1
The card you hope you never need.
The destination embassy. The nearest pediatric-capable hospital. Your kids' allergies and current medications. Blood types. Insurance and the 24-hour claim line. Their birthdates, so a clinician who doesn't know your kid can dose by age.
It lives on your phone and works offline — no signal, no app-store download, nothing to remember. Show it at customs, a clinic, or to a kind stranger holding your toddler while you find the Tylenol.
So the moment you do need it, you're a parent — not a search bar.

Trail-tested
Built from a real trip.
Coterra is built by Sean Ireton — a designer and engineer who used to travel anywhere on short notice — in collaboration with his wife. The product comes from a June 2026 Canada trip with their 14-month-old son, where every pain point in v1 showed up in a single weekend.
"Trail-tested" means we figured out the friction so your next trip starts where ours ended.
BUILT FOR THE MOMENTS IT GOES WRONG
We can't make your kid not get sick.
We just make sure that when it happens — at 2am in a hotel bathroom in a country where you don't speak the language — you don't have to panic-Google for the nearest pediatric hospital. The card is already on your phone. The customs rules already cite the real source. And the AI we use to help draft your packing list never saw your kid's name in the first place.
Three privacy promises, written down structurally so we can't break them by accident.
What's coming after v1
We're just getting started.
Next up
Document scanning with encrypted backup — passport pages, vaccination cards, consent letters. Encrypted on your device with a passphrase you pick. We never see the contents, and we can't recover them if you forget the passphrase. That's the trade-off for keeping documents private from us.
Then
A family packing list that knows each kid's age. Custody travel consent letter templates for parents who share custody. Vaccination record aggregation across pediatricians.
Eventually
A version built for families who travel for months at a time while homeschooling. Native iOS app once v1 validates.
Coterra v1 ships in mid-July
