COZI-01Screenshot: My Tomte, the family calendar with dinner planned under each day
The short answer
Cozi has kept family calendars in order for years, and it’s a solid choice if the calendar is what you need most.
My Tomte does the calendar too, then goes further: it knows who’s home tonight and plans dinner for exactly those people, around their allergies, using what’s already in the fridge.
