How to download your Cozi Family Journal

The Cozi Family Journal will be removed in the coming weeks. We know how important family memories are, and we are very sorry that we cannot continue to support this feature. We are, however, excited to focus on our best-in-class features for managing the logistics of everyday family life: the Shared Calendar, Shopping Lists, To Do Lists, Recipe Box, and Meal Planner. Look for improvements to these features in the coming months.

Please follow the instructions below to download your Family Journal before August 15, 2021. For best results, use a desktop or laptop computer, and use a Chrome or Firefox browser. (The complete download will not work on Internet Explorer, Edge or Safari browsers.)
