Memoria — a free Cozi alternative

A free Cozi alternative without the 30-day calendar cap: Memoria’s free tier keeps your full date range, stays ad-free, and includes every household member.

If you’re searching for a free Cozi alternative, it’s almost certainly because Cozi’s free tier isn’t what it used to be. Since May 2024, Cozi’s free plan limits the calendar to roughly a 30-day forward view; to see further ahead you need Cozi Gold (about $39/year), and ads sit on the free experience until you pay. Memoria’s answer is a genuinely useful free tier: your full date range with no 30-day cap, no ads, every household member, and a 500 MB document vault. Entry is manual on the free tier; the ₹299/month household plan adds AI capture — forward a school circular or a bill and watch it land on the calendar — plus a 10 GB vault. Either way you keep your full date range, the opposite of Cozi’s trade, and it’s encrypted at rest and available in 12 languages.

Migration

Switching from free 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 free 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 free 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 free Cozi. Memoria keeps your full history, exports everything as an archive, and never holds your data hostage.

FAQ

Is Memoria really free, unlike Cozi’s new free tier?

Memoria has a genuinely free tier with no 30-day calendar cap and no ads — the two things Cozi now paywalls — covering the whole shared calendar, every household member and a 500 MB document vault. AI capture and a larger vault are on the ₹299/month plan; your own dates are never time-limited. Cozi’s free tier shows only ~30 days ahead unless you buy Gold (~$39/year).

What’s the catch with the free Cozi alternative?

Memoria’s free tier keeps your full date range and stays ad-free — it never caps how far ahead you can see. The ₹299/month household plan adds AI capture and a larger vault — a single, honest price rather than a 30-day teaser that pushes you to upgrade.
