Seattle family organization app Cozi acquired by co-parenting app OurFamilyWizard

OurFamilyWizard, a co-parenting app for families living separately, is acquiring Seattle-based Cozi, a family organizing app founded in 2005, the companies announced Wednesday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Cozi was owned by Dotdash Meredith, which acquired Time Inc. in 2018, four years after that company acquired Cozi.

The startup was founded by Robbie Cape and Jan Miksovsky after they left Microsoft and had a vision for bringing families together with technology. Cape went on to be co-founder and CEO at Seattle telehealth startup 98point6 before a shakeup last fall.

The Cozi app has more than 20 million registered users and provides tools to manage schedules and activities; track grocery shopping and to do lists; plan meals and store recipes; organize household chores; and keep family memories.

OurFamilyWizard, founded in 2011, will add Cozi to its suite of co-parenting tools, which includes shared calendars, messaging, expense tracking, journals and an info bank.

Cozi has 11 employees in Seattle and Minneapolis-based OurFamilyWizard employs about 100.
