About the latest release of Cozi

We work constantly to improve Cozi and make it easier to use, whether by adding features that families request, or by fixing problems that families report. For these reasons, it's always best to run the latest version of Cozi.

Cozi automatically updates your installation, but there are a few instances where this might not happen. This page will explain how to check which version you're running, automatically receive the latest version, and learn what improvements have been made.

Journal sharing through Cozi (or on Facebook ) gives you the ability to quickly publish your family journal online so that friends and relatives can keep up with your favorite stories and events. When you share through Cozi, you choose the web address. You control which stories to share, who gets the link to these stories, and whether you want to hide information such as the names of your children.

The Cozi Family Journal is an easy way to record all those special family moments that might otherwise be forgotten. With the journal, you can quickly jot down these moments—with photos—and in no time at all, you will have effortlessly created a rich family history. It’s much simpler than maintaining a blog, and a lot less expensive than scrapbooking.

Now it’s easy to share these moments with friends and family, right in Facebook . Whether you create your Cozi Family Journal in Cozi, in Facebook, or both, your journal entries are always synchronized and available, to your family and to your Facebook friends.

This release includes improvements to shopping lists and the school calendar feature and introduces the new Cozi Family Calendar gadget for the Google Desktop.

  • On the Shopping Lists page, a menu of options is now available for removing items, making it easier to remove crossed-off items, clear a list, or delete a list.

  • Shopping list printouts now include check boxes.
  • The Shopping Lists page now includes coupons to help you save money on popular items.
  • A Cozi Family Calendar gadget for Google Desktop Sidebar is now available. The gadget allows you to view upcoming family appointments in your Sidebar and quickly add new ones. You can download the gadget by signing in to your Cozi account and clicking the Downloads link at the bottom of the page.
  • The family photo now appears on all pages.
  • If you use the school calendar feature (beta*), your school appointments will now appear in the latest version of the Cozi Collage screensaver.

*Beta means that the feature is in the final stages of development and is ready for feedback from real-world users, like you!
