    Cozi's First Product Provides Easy-to-Use Calendars, Shopping Lists,
                  Reminders and Photo Collages - For Free
     DEMOfall 2006 September 25-27, Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina

    SEATTLE and SAN DIEGO, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Cozi, a creator of
family-ready software services, today announced the launch of Cozi Central,
a free service that helps busy families balance home, work and school with
today's seemingly endless family commitments and tasks.
    The product debuts at DEMOfall 2006 in San Diego today. DEMO features
emerging technologies and new products, which are hand-selected from across
the technology marketplace.
    "Cozi has a very exciting product for families to help manage their
dizzying array of responsibilities and activities," said Chris Shipley,
executive producer of DEMOfall. "Cozi Central is easy-to-use, requires no
special tech knowledge, and slips easily into a family's busy life."
    Cozi Central helps busy parents manage kids' schedules, family
appointments and shopping -- all from the chaotic atmosphere of the
kitchen, the car, the office or the grocery store. Never again will Mom
find herself at a store without her shopping list. With Cozi Central, her
list is delivered right to her phone. She can also hand off to Dad the
pick-up from ballet class or soccer practice and make sure everyone gets
where they need to be on time. The entire family can access shared
calendars, shopping lists and reminders from any mobile phone and home or
office computer.
    Beginning today, families can sign-up for Cozi Central for free in a
matter of moments by visiting http://www.cozi.com. Cozi Central gives families:
    -- An easy-to-use calendar, color-coded to track appointments for every
       family member;
    -- Centralized shopping lists that are always accessible by mom or dad
       - anytime, anywhere;
    -- The ability to leave phone messages or send broadcast messages to all
       family members effortlessly;
    -- Anywhere access to information from any mobile phone or Internet
       browser; no special features, like Web browsing or Java required;
    -- Family information automatically synchronized across all home PCs and
       work PCs;
    -- A fun, photo collage screensaver that reminds families of upcoming
       appointments.
    "The American family has never been busier," said Mari Baker, former
president of BabyCenter and a Cozi board member. "In most households, both
parents are working and kids are involved in so many extracurricular
activities that parents spend much of their time coordinating, chauffeuring
and juggling. Cozi Central is family-ready -- it can handle the hectic
nature of family life and provides an easy method for managing the
day-to-day madness."
