Shared family calendar
Keep everyone in sync with a shared family calendar
Dentist at 3, piano at 4:30, and the bake sale nobody mentioned. Cozi’s shared calendar puts every schedule in one place the whole family can check.
✓
Color-coded by person. See who needs to be where at a glance, or filter to one person.
✓
Reminders mean no more "but I told you?!" disagreements. Push or email reminders and agenda emails mean fewer missed pickups.
✓
School, sports, and work calendars, too. Subscribe and their events show up in Cozi automatically.
✓
Share it outward. Send Cozi events to your work calendar.
Free
Shared calendar, color coding, reminders, and calendar syncing.

Grocery & shopping lists
Share shopping and grocery lists with the whole family
Whoever's at the store sees the latest list in real time. Say goodbye to sticky notes and "did you get the blueberries?" texts.
✓
Everyone adds, everyone sees. Lists update in real time on every phone and computer.
✓
A list for every errand. Groceries, school supplies, the birthday party: make as many as you need.
✓
Organized like your store. Add headers like PRODUCE or DAIRY to match your route.
✓
Works when the signal doesn't. Check things off offline and sync later.
✓
Recipe to list in one tap. Send a recipe's ingredients straight to your grocery list.
Free
Unlimited shared lists for the whole family.
Gold
Adds Shopping Mode: checked items drop to the bottom, and the screen stays on while you shop.
Chore lists
Make household chores easier to manage
Trash day, dish duty, dog walks. Cozi Chores gives everyone their own list, so the work doesn't pile up on one person.
✓
A chore list for everyone. Each person gets their own list automatically, from grown‑ups to little helpers.
✓
Set it and forget it. Chores repeat daily or weekly, so "feed the cat" shows up on its own.
✓
Pin what matters. Pin a list to the top to keep an eye on your kid's chores, or your own.
✓
Check, check, check. Kids tick off their own chores, and everyone sees what's done.
Free
Cozi Chores lives in the Lists tab of the Cozi app for iPhone and Android.

✓
Everyone knows who's on it. Assign a list so every task has an owner.

Priorities, sorted. Drag items into order and group them under TODAY or THIS WEEK.

A head start for big moments. Add a ready-made checklist from the Cozi list library for parties, trips, and routines.

FAQ
Family organizer app questions, answered
Still deciding? Here's what families ask most before they start.
What is a family organizer app?
A family organizer app is one shared place for schedules, appointments, shopping lists, chores, to-dos, and meals. Everyone sees the same up-to-date plan on their phone.
What can I organize with Cozi?
Cozi brings together a shared family calendar, grocery and shopping lists, to-do lists, chore lists, and a recipe box and meal planner. Families use it for everything from school schedules and doctor's appointments to packing lists and weekly dinners.
Is Cozi free?
Yes. Cozi Free includes the shared calendar, lists, chores, and recipe box for every family member. Cozi Gold ($39/year) removes ads and adds premium features, and Cozi Max ($79/year) adds AI tools on top of Gold.
Can my whole family use Cozi?
Yes. Everyone shares one Cozi family account and signs in their own way, so parents, kids, and caregivers all see the same calendar and lists. Each person gets their own color on the calendar and their own chore list.
Can Cozi manage calendars, chores, groceries, and meals in one app?
That's the whole idea of a family organizer app. Plan a dinner around soccer practice, send the recipe's ingredients to the grocery list, and assign the dishes on the chore list, all in Cozi. Each feature connects to the others so nothing gets lost between apps.
Can I use Cozi on iPhone, Android, and desktop?
Yes. Cozi has apps for iPhone and Android, and works in any web browser at my.cozi.com. Changes sync across every device, so an item added on the laptop shows up on your phone by the time you get to the store.
Can Cozi connect with Google, Outlook, or Apple calendars?
Yes. You can subscribe to Google, Outlook, Apple, school, and sports team calendars so their events appear in Cozi, and you can share Cozi events out to another calendar. Both connections are read-only. Here's how to set up calendar syncing with Cozi.
What's the difference between Cozi Free, Gold, and Max?
Free covers the core family organization tools. Gold adds an ad-free experience plus extras like month view on mobile, calendar search, more reminders, change notifications, a birthday tracker, and Shopping Mode. Max includes everything in Gold plus AI Event Import, AI Meal Planner, and AI Recipe Creator. Compare Cozi plans for the full list.
Family life. Simplified.
All schedules on one calendar, every list in one spot, and dinner sorted for the week. Less juggling, fewer "who's picking up?" texts. Cozi is free.
