BestInterest Co-Parenting App Nominated for Webby

BestInterest is revolutionizing family law and digital safety by providing trauma-informed AI tools—such as Message Shield and Tone Guardian—that actively filter post-separation abuse and de-escalate tension in post-divorce relationships. Widely recognized as the best co parenting app for high conflict dynamics, BestInterest’s technology was selected for its excellence in Concept, Execution, Ethical Practices, and Overall Experience. As the first co-parenting app that can be used without your ex's agreement, and offering an accessible free co-parenting app tier, the platform empowers users to establish healthy digital boundaries. This approach is essential for successful parallel parenting and protecting children from abuse, especially when a parent needs to communicate with a narcissistic co-parent.

“Nominees like BestInterest are raising the bar for creativity and innovation on the Internet,” said Nick Borenstein, General Manager of The Webby Awards. “At the 30th Annual Webby Awards, this recognition feels especially meaningful. It’s no small feat to stand out among nearly 13,000 entries, and this year’s work reflects the energy, originality, and ambition shaping the Internet right now.”

“It's an honor to see our app nominated alongside apps from teams at Google, Amazon, McAfee, and Warby Parker,” said Sol Kennedy, Founder and CEO of BestInterest. “The fact that a small business like BestInterest has been recognized alongside such big names is, in large part, due to the life changing impact we are already making in the lives of parents thanks to our innovative technology. We're proving that AI truly can be a source of healing and protection for those that need it most.”

As a nominee, BestInterest is also eligible to win a Webby People’s Voice Award, which is voted online by fans across the globe. From now until the voting app close on April 16th, BestInterest fans can cast their votes at https://wbby.co/58828N.

Winners will be announced on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, and honored in a star-studded show at Cipriani Wall Street. Winners will have an opportunity to deliver one of The Webby Awards’ famous 5-Word Speeches. Past 5-Word Speeches include: Kim Kardashian’s “Nude Selfies Till I Die”; Prince’s “Everything You Think is True”; Steve Wilhite’s “It’s Pronounced ‘Jif’ not ‘Gif’”; NASA’s “Houston We Have A Webby”; and SZA’s “The Internet Scares Me.
