“Wait. I thought you had pickup.”

A calendar tells you what’s on. Kid Pickup tells you who’s actually going.

Most missed pickups aren’t anyone forgetting the kids. They’re two busy people each thinking the other one had it. The pickup was on the calendar. It just didn’t have a name on it.

Shared calendars, Cozi included, are good at showing what’s happening. They weren’t built to get one person to say “that one’s mine.”

  • Claimed or open, never “maybe”

    Each pickup is either claimed by someone or marked OPEN on the calendar until it is.

  • You hear when it’s covered

    When your partner takes Thursday, you get a notification. No “did you see my text?”

  • A heads-up when nobody has it

    If a pickup is still open the day before, you both get a notification, a more urgent one three hours out, and another at two.

  • Backup is one invite away

    Add the grandparents or the sitter when you need them. They don’t pay. Family covers three helpers; Premium covers up to eight people.

How it works

Posted. Claimed. Done.

Three steps, and a name on every pickup.

    Grandma gets a reminder before she leaves. And if nobody had claimed it, you’d have heard the day before, three hours out and two hours out.

FAQ

Questions parents ask

Do we both need the app?

Yes, each of you installs it on your iPhone and joins the same family. One subscription covers you both.

Can both of us add and change pickups?

Yes. You can both add pickups and take them on. Helpers like grandparents see open pickups and their own, and take them on.

What if neither of us can do one?

Use Request Help. It puts an urgent pickup on the calendar and sends everyone in your circle a “Can you help?” notification with your note.

One price for your whole circle. See plans and pricing
