Cozi.com - Getting Families Organized

Families looking to get organized should give Cozi Central a look. This calendaring app has just the tools you and your family need to get it together. And it’s much better than random Post-It notes on the fridge. Cozi ‘s calendar is accessible whether you’re on the go, at work or at home; you can synch it with Microsoft Outlook via the newly released Outlook toolbar. Special settings can be applied to separate business appointments with family affairs. There’s a shopping list function with preset lists for groceries, wholesale and other. Popular items autopopulate as you type them in. The messaging section allows family members to send text and email messages without having to open any separate programs. Finally, Cozi lets you add some color with the Collage Screen Saver; add your photos and Cozi will generate a collage for you to share with your family. Cozi is free.

“Cozi Central™ is a free service that’s easy to use, accessible wherever you are, and offers a shared family calendar, lists, quick messages, and a photo collage screen saver. Cozi Central is designed for busy families who are juggling work and school activities, schedules, shopping, household chores and all the other things that busy families do.”

Cozi is a clean, uncluttered app which is extremely user friendly. It handles hectic schedules beautifully. It also perfectly synchronizes with mobile and work tools which is especially practical for working parents.

Cozi doesn’t allow private calendars. There are no notifications of changes made by other family members, and messages can only be sent out from Cozi, but not replied to.

Cozi has recently raised $4 million from angel investors.
