RESEARCH NOTES
What this tool actually does.
Cozi Gold is the paid premium tier (US$39/year, one subscription covering the whole family) of Cozi, a family organizer app for web, iOS, and Android. The free tier offers a shared color-coded family calendar, shared shopping and to-do lists, and a recipe box. Gold adds an ad-free experience plus premium features: calendar search across past and upcoming events, up to 3 reminders per appointment, calendar-change notifications to all members, a birthday tracker, a mobile month view with swipeable weekend view and pinch-zoom, Shopping Mode (bright full-screen no-dim list where checked items drop to the bottom and items added by other family members are highlighted), and priority VIP email support. Core workflows: schedule color-coded family events by member; plan weekly dinners by dragging recipes into a meal plan and pushing ingredients to the shopping list; keep shared lists live while s

Build 'FamilyHub', a self-hosted web/PWA replacement for the core Cozi Gold family-organizer workflow. Workflow: each family member has an account in one shared household; anyone can add/update events on a per-member color-coded shared calendar (filter by member or see all), create multiple shared to-do lists (chores, packing, emergencies), keep a recipe box, drag recipes onto a weekly meal plan, and one-click push a recipe's ingredients into the shared shopping list. In-store Shopping Mode shows a bright full-screen list where checked items sink to the bottom and items added by other members appear highlighted; all list and calendar edits propagate to everyone in near real time. User-facing requirements: responsive web UI (desktop + mobile), week and month calendar views, up to 3 reminders per event (email/push), calendar search, birthday tracker, calendar-change notifications. Technical requirements: Node/TypeScript backend (Express or Fastify) with a relational DB (Postgres or SQLite) for households, users, events, lists, recipes, and meal plans; JWT auth with household membership; live sync via WebSockets or SSE so list edits appear instantly; React/Vite front end with PWA manifest and service worker for offline list viewing; full CRUD API. Keep a single-repo monorepo with a neutral, original design system. Do NOT copy Cozi's name, logo, marketing copy, assets, or visual design — build an original UI. Out of scope: billing/subscriptions, native iOS/Android apps, external recipe import, photo attachments, email-to-calendar parsing, and multi-household accounts. Deliver a README covering setup (env vars, migrations, seed data, dev run), architecture overview, and important limitations (no production-grade auth hardening, single-region sync, no offline writes).
