Getting around

Whenever you open Cozi, you’ll see the Home page:

Cozi home page

The Home page brings all your Cozi information together so you can see it at a glance. There are four major areas: the Cozi Calendar, Cozi Shopping Lists, Cozi Messages, and Cozi Collage.

Clicking the preview of the calendar or the shopping list will take you to those areas. Directly from the Home page, you can write and send messages, start the collage at any time, access Cozi on the Web, and find tools to personalize how Cozi works for you. There is also room to show off a favorite family photo.

To get back to the Home page, click the word Home in the upper left corner of any page:

Telling Cozi about your family

The first thing you’ll need to do is make sure Cozi knows who’s in your family:

  1. Start at your Cozi Home page, find the More area, and then click Settings.
  2. You’ll be brought to a page called “Change Cozi settings.” Click the first link, General information about your household.
  3. Fill in the names of your family members. You may have already given some of this information to Cozi when you signed up.
  4. Enter your family’s email addresses and mobile phone numbers so you can retrieve information from Cozi using your mobile phone and send information to your family members in email or as text messages.
  5. Click Save to go back to the page called “Change Cozi settings,” and then click Done to return to the Home page.
Getting family information from anywhere

All the information you enter in Cozi is stored in Cozi’s secure online storage area. You can install and run Cozi on multiple PCs (and in multiple locations), and all information entered on one PC will be available almost instantaneously on your other PCs. You can also access your family’s information from the road with a mobile phone (see Mobile Phone Access). And you can view your calendar and shopping lists via the Internet from any computer, even if Cozi is not installed there (see Cozi Web Access). Regardless of where or how your family accesses Cozi, they’ll always be looking at the same information.
