A Cozi alternative
Cozi is a shared family calendar with shopping lists, to-do lists and meal planning, free with ads or ad-free with Cozi Gold. If you want an app without ads that plans your chores and paperwork in your free time around your calendar, SortYourMind is an option. It is not a shared family calendar.
What Cozi does well
- One shared calendar for the whole family, with a colour per person
- Shared shopping lists, to-do lists and a recipe box
- Shows your existing Google, Apple and Outlook calendars
- Works on phones and in the browser
