Memoria — a Cozi alternative

Looking for a Cozi alternative after the free 30-day calendar cap? Memoria is encrypted, family-shared and multilingual, and fills the calendar from what you forward.

If you're looking for a Cozi alternative, here's an honest comparison. Cozi is a long-running family calendar with shared lists, recipes and a journal; since May 2024 its free tier limits the calendar to a 30-day forward view, and full access requires Cozi Gold (about $39/year, which also removes ads). Memoria takes a different route: it's encrypted at rest and household-scoped, family-shared with role-based access, and multilingual (12 languages) — and instead of asking you to type everything, it reads forwarded school circulars, bills and warranty cards and builds the calendar for you, across vehicles, appliances and insurance as well as kids. It also keeps your papers in an encrypted vault. Where Cozi is a calendar-and-lists app, Memoria is a household memory.

Migration

Switching from Cozi to Memoria.

There is no two-way sync — but there is no lock-in either. One-time, one-way, no data left behind.

  1. Forward your last month. Send your most recent Cozientries — school circulars, fee notes, warranty cards, insurance emails — to your Memoria number or email alias. Captures parse and back-fill in a day.
  2. Pin the Memoria reminder feed. Once your items are in, the calendar and reminder feed become the daily surface. Keep Cozi open in parallel for the first 30 days to verify nothing slipped.
  3. Cancel when you are sure. After a month of parallel use, most households unsubscribe from Cozi. Memoria keeps your full history, exports everything as an archive, and never holds your data hostage.

FAQ

Did Cozi start charging for its calendar?

Cozi's core app is still free, but since May 2024 the free tier shows only a 30-day forward view of your calendar; seeing further ahead requires Cozi Gold (about $39/year), which also removes ads. Memoria's free tier keeps your full date range and carries no ads.

Is Memoria a good Cozi alternative for a big family?

It can be, with one difference in shape: Cozi is calendar-and-lists for the whole family, while Memoria adds AI capture and tracks vehicles, appliances and insurance alongside kids and school. If you mainly want a shared calendar and grocery list, Cozi covers that; if you want the household’s documents and renewals handled automatically, Memoria goes further.
