Cozi Central is a free organizing software for busy families, the kind that busy luddites often skip in favor of sticky notes, white boards, and old fashioned paper calendars. The software can be downloaded or used as a web interface and has menus, shopping lists, and scheduling features that could probably keep pace with even the most complicated matrix of school, sports, and carpooling arrangements.
Akin to Blackberries and Trios, but without the annoying email buzzing feature, the Cozi Central program brings all the elements of family organizing into one place, yet allows multiple "authors" to enter data (even kids are allowed).
At my house the approach to organizing is to yell out "Honey -- is TODAY the doctor's appointment?" and send mad emails back and forth from work "Don't forget the lasagna noodles." "Did you pick up the prescription?" Our family could clearly benefit from Cozi Central. If only we weren't so busy.
