Cozi: The Website for BUSY Families

Our families is VERY busy, we have so much to keep track of including appointments, birthday parties, practices, games, and many other family activities, not to mention the challenges of coordinating home and work schedules! It can quickly get hectic without a central place to organize, coordinate and keep track of so many important household details. In fact, in a recent survey conducted by Cozi, 40% of the 4,169 households surveyed admitted to using sticky notes to manage their family activities!

FROM THE SITE:

People have accused us of being fanatically family focused, and you know what? They're right. From our very beginning in 2005, we've been all about families. When we started Cozi, we were just a small group of Microsoft, Expedia, and Amazon veterans—all with kids of our own—looking for a way to balance our busy schedules and create more harmony at home. So we pooled our collective knowledge and experience to create something special. Something that would make it easy and fun for families to juggle everything they have to do. Not just our families, but families everywhere.

We know every family is different, but we all have one thing in common: we're crazy-busy. Cozi is designed to make it easier to manage everything we have to do. Cozi tracks appointments and activities, simplifies shopping lists and chores, and makes it easy for everyone to communicate with each other. Even when schedules change, Cozi is there making sure all the moving pieces fit together at the end of the day.

Thanks so much to Mom Central for letting us know about Cozi!
