Do you use some form of paper to stay organized along with your Cozi app? When we surveyed Cozi families, we learned that lots of you do! And many of you mentioned Erin Condren as a personal planner that you love.

That’s why we partnered with the team at Erin Condren to bring you a beautiful theme with one of their signature looks. And the best part? It’s free!

How to Get the Erin Condren Theme in your Cozi App

• From your Cozi mobile app, go to Family Settings (on iOS, find it by tapping on the Family icon in the bottom menu; on Android, find it by tapping the three bar menu in the top left)
• In Family Settings, scroll down and tap Theme
• Scroll through the Themes until you see Erin Condren and select it

Your Cozi app will now have the beautiful Erin Condren look! We hope you enjoy this free theme.

Hello Cozi families and happy June!

In our latest app update, we’ve refreshed your Family Settings screen, enabled recipe sharing, and more. Update your app to the latest version to start enjoying the new features.

Check out your new Family Settings Screen

You’ll see a larger version of your beautiful family photo (iOS devices) and easier access to family member profiles (iOS and Android devices). Tap on individual family members to set color codes, email addresses, and agenda email delivery.

Also in Family Settings, you’ll find instructions for integrating other calendars with Cozi and the ability to choose a new theme for your device (mobile app themes are a feature of Cozi Gold).

Share favorite recipes with others

You can now easily share recipes in your Family recipe box. If you have an iOS device, use the share icon in the upper right hand corner of the recipe screen. If you have an Android device, tap the three-dot menu button in the top right corner of the recipe screen and choose Share. Once you’ve chosen to share, you’ll be able to pick a sharing method such as email, text or Facebook.

What’s the date today?

Now you’ll always know! Brand new for iOS is the addition of today’s date to the bottom-menu calendar icon. If you’ve scrolled to another date on the calendar, you can just tap on the calendar icon to return the calendar to today’s date.

Android has this feature as well – look at the top-menu calendar icon for today’s date and tap to return the calendar to today.

We hope you enjoy these new features, and thank you for using Cozi to simplify your family life.

One of the top requests from Cozi families is finally here: Calendar Search! 

Calendar Search is a premium feature of Cozi Gold, and if you’re already a Gold subscriber, you already have instant access! 

If you’d like to try Calendar Search, start a free trial or upgrade to Cozi Gold in your mobile app. With Cozi Gold you’ll also get access to the ad-free version of Cozi, mobile month view, more reminders to help keep your family on track, and other premium features.

Your family’s life is in Cozi, and now you can quickly find anything you’ve ever added to your calendar. To start searching, first make sure your Cozi app is updated to the latest version. Then, open your calendar, tap on the magnifying glass at the top of the page and enter a search term. Calendar Search is also available in Cozi on the web.

Calendar Search is brand new to Cozi, and our newest feature has already helped families:

Tips & Tricks for using Calendar Search (and surprising ways Calendar Search can work for you)

While the best part of Calendar Search is quickly and easily finding upcoming and past appointments, here are a few surprising ways to make Calendar Search work for you and your family:

• Search for your pet’s last vet appointment was
• Remember family trips and vacations
• Look up birthdays
• Find important appointments
• See if an appointment was ever scheduled
• Search notes you’ve made in calendar events
• Review past purchases
• Keep track of when your car has been to the shop
• Reference work schedules in the past and future
• Track volunteer hours or taxes from previous years
• Track haircuts and salon appointments
• Track your period
• Look up school events to make sure you’ll be available

In our most recent update, we redesigned our New Event screens with date pickers that included a scroll feature that was familiar to iPhone users. After this change, we listened to your feedback about how difficult it was to use the new date pickers, and we’ve brought back a month view date picker to our New Event screen, making it easier to add an edit appointments on your family’s calendar.

Useful tips & tricks

Using the date picker

When you want to add an event that is more than a few days in the future, our day picker makes it easy to navigate through months. Just scroll left to move to future months, and scroll right to move back. To select a date, tap it, and the time picker will open.

New date and time pickers

We’ve also refreshed our day and time pickers to a format that should be more familiar to iPhone users. When setting a start time or end time for your event, just tap the Start bar to open up or collapse the picker.

Cozi Gold Reminders

Cozi Gold users still have three reminders. To access your third reminder, set your first two reminders for your new event, and you’ll see the third reminder appear.

Have you already checked out the new and improved Cozi Lists feature in the app? Keep an eye out for the latest version of the app, and then once you’ve updated, select “Lists” in the navigation to take a look around.

Here’s what’s new:

Easily toggle between Shopping and To Do. All of your lists are now accessible in one place within the app under “Lists.” You can toggle between Shopping and To Do by tapping the buttons at the top of the screen, and then you’ll be taken to a screen that shows previews of your lists.

Edit list settings right on the preview screen. As you’re viewing the list preview screen, you can swipe left to quickly edit or delete a list. Select “Edit” to change the list’s name (or also change the list owner for To Do lists), or tap “Delete” to permanently delete the list.

Check all, uncheck all, and more. Perform quick list actions with the List Action button in the upper left. From here, you can share your list, enter Shopping mode (a Gold feature), check or uncheck all list items, and delete checked items.

More ways to Share your lists. Share any Shopping or To Do list with someone outside of Cozi using email, AirDrop, and more. Or, save the list to another app on your phone, such as Notes. Just tap the List Action button, select Share list, and choose a sharing method.

Drag and drop to reorganize your lists. While looking at the list preview screen, easily re-order your lists by pressing on the drag bars in the upper right corner of each list and moving it to where you’d like it to go.

Add lists from the Cozi List Library. You can now pick from more than 30 popular lists that have been curated for you by Cozi. After tapping the + in the upper right hand corner of the list preview screen to add a new list, tap the link to browse the list library. You can choose from lists like the Vacation Packing Checklist, the Summer Seasonal Produce Shopping List and the Spring Cleaning Starter List. Once you’ve opened the list you want to add, scroll to the bottom to add it right to your Cozi account.

Ever been to the grocery store to pick up ingredients for dinner and you get that sinking feeling you’re forgetting an ingredient or two? Never again!

With Cozi’s latest app update, Recipe Box is now fully cross-platform and available from any computer, mobile phone or tablet, so your recipes are always just a tap away.

Cozi Recipe Box simplifies planning, shopping and prep:

• Keep all your recipes in one place, accessible by the whole family.
• Search and view recipes from anywhere – your office, the kitchen, the grocery store. Really anywhere!
• Quickly add ingredients from any recipe to your Cozi Shopping List.
• Use the Keep screen on feature when cooking so your device won’t dim or shut off in the middle of meal prep.
• Summer BONUS: Cozi Recipe Box comes stocked with recipe picks that make the most of in-season ingredients. Check them out in the Farmers market picks tab of your Recipe Box.
• Get all these features when you install the latest Cozi app update from iTunes or Google Play.​

To add and save new recipes, head to your Cozi Recipe Box on the web. (You can even import recipes you find around the web: Get the Add to Meals web browser bookmarklet.) The recipes you add will be viewable from any device.

With this free feature, we are very excited to make meal prep easier for every Cozi family. Enjoy!
