Cozi Launches New Family Apps

Expanding out the number of apps that it provides to families, Seattle-based Cozi rolled out four new apps this morning, building on its existing suite of family management tools. Cozi said it has launched Cozi Sitter Finder, Cozi Kids Coloring+, Cozi Family Locator and Cozi Password Vault, all geared toward busy families. The tools help families book babysitters, provide entertainment to kids, help families track each other, and store passwords. Cozi Sitter Finder costs 99 cents and runs on the iPhone, helping to manage scheduling of babysitters; Cozi Kids Coloring+ costs $1.99 and runs on the iPad, and offers up coloring book activities; Cozi Family Locator is free, and runs on Android, and lets families see where everyone is using GPS and their cell phone; and finally, Cozi Password Vault is $1.99 and helps iPhone users store and save their passwords. The firm said the four apps are the first in a line of additional family apps it plans to launch in coming months.
