An App for That: Cozi Family Calendar

An App for That is a regular feature at LGBTSr highlighting useful apps and technology tips for our readers.

A few years ago I was looking for an easy-to-use family calendar for myself and my husband. I knew all about Outlook and about sharing calendars on our phones, but I wanted something very simple, and very effective.

We’ve been using Cozi.com ever since, and we love it. It’s a single log-in for both of us, and we have it on our phones. I often log in from my desktop but I don’t need to, it’s all there on my iPhone app.

It’s a great way to see what’s on the calendar, by day, week or month, and it keeps your history as well, so you can look and see what you were doing a year ago, if you want to. Cozi also offers a lot of other options, like “Shopping,” “Meals,” contacts, birthday reminders, and a journal. I’m happy just to use it as a calendar. I pay $39 a year for the gold level membership, but you can use a free version.
