Cozi is extending its expertise in helping busy families stay organized and connected to help them tackle other common challenges like booking a babysitter, keeping family members safe, remembering passwords, and keeping the kids happy and entertained on long trips.

“Our mission has always been to build products that make life easier so families can focus on what’s most important to them”

“Our mission has always been to build products that make life easier so families can focus on what’s most important to them,” said Cozi CEO and co-founder Robbie Cape. “Millions of families rely on Cozi Family Organizer to help manage their busy schedules, and the majority of them are using their smartphones to do so. Now we’re expanding our focus to build apps that solve other problems modern families face. Families, and especially moms, tell us they are looking for technology that helps them streamline everyday life.”

Cozi’s new family apps include:

• Cozi Sitter Finder, $.99, iPhone – Cozi Sitter Finder is a personal babysitter organizer and scheduler in one. It takes the stress out of scrambling for sitters, especially with the busy holiday season approaching. Parents add their own contact info and their favorite sitters' info, then add the day and time of an upcoming event. Sitter Finder texts or emails the sitters, who respond with a yes or no that's sent back to the parents for approval. With a touch of the screen, the sitter is booked.
• Cozi Kids Coloring+, $1.99, iPad – Perfect for family travel, Cozi Kids Coloring+ by Tipitap, the coloring experts, keeps kids entertained with four activities designed to encourage creativity: Coloring Book, Photo Decorator, Artistic Springboard and Sketch Pad. Cozi Kids Coloring+ includes exclusive road trip and vacation-oriented themes, and lets kids draw over their own photos and decorate them with virtual stickers—just the thing for long trips or rainy days.
• Cozi Family Locator, free, available now for Android/coming soon for iPhone – Developed in partnership with Life360, the leader in mobile family safety, Cozi Family Locator gives families peace of mind and security through a variety of features. A Family GPS Location map shows parents at a glance where their children are. Neighborhood Safety Monitoring identifies nearby threats or safety points such as hospitals and police stations. Safety Status Alerts provide fast, secure communication during an emergency with one-click check-ins and a panic button, and Family Channel Group Messaging lets the whole family communicate with a group chat. Cozi Family Locator also has a premium offering for $4.99 per month, which includes emergency identification, family identity protection and lost item recovery.
• Cozi Password Vault, $1.99, iPhone – Remembering the dozens of passwords involved in daily life—from bill paying to online shopping—can be overwhelming. Cozi Password Vault uses the Password Safe security technology originally designed by top security technologist Bruce Schneier to provide a safe, secure way to keep track of passwords for family accounts, and includes one-click copying so it’s easy to access and use every password the family needs.

Cozi Sitter Finder, Cozi Kids Coloring+ and Cozi Password Vault are available in the iTunes App Store today. Cozi Family Locator is available today in Google Play, and coming soon to the iTunes App Store. Additional Cozi apps focused on simplifying family life will launch in the coming months.
