A Cozi alternative with nothing behind a paywall.
A shared family calendar, shared lists and a family chat. Free for everyone in your family, with no ads.

Who is going
Everyone answers going, maybe or can’t go on a plan, and whoever made it gets a note when someone says yes.
Lists that show who ticked what
The shared grocery list updates on every phone as items are ticked off in the shop, with who got what.
A chat for the family only
Group chat and a family wall inside the same app as the calendar and the lists.
Switching takes an evening.
Install FAM
Get it on Google Play, or sign in at keepitclose.app from any browser. Make your family’s Space.
Add the next few weeks
There is no import from Cozi yet, so start with what is coming up. A plan takes a name and a time.

Is FAM really free?
Yes. Every feature is on for everyone in your family. There is no paid tier, no trial, no card and no ads.
Can I import my Cozi calendar?
Not yet. Most families start by adding the next few weeks of plans, which takes a few minutes, and keep Cozi open until they are done.
Does FAM work on an iPhone?
In a browser, yes. The iPhone app is in the works. Until then, anyone on an iPhone opens the invite link, signs in at keepitclose.app and uses the same Space.
Is FAM made by Cozi?
No. FAM is a separate app with no connection to Cozi.
Who can see our calendar and lists?
Only the people you invite to your Space. FAM is invite-only, and we do not sell data or show ads.
Everything on. Nothing to pay.
