A phone app lives in your pocket. Luana lives on the wall.
The whole family walks past the TV every day. Luana puts your shared calendar, kids' routines, and chore rewards on that screen, so everyone sees the day without opening an app, and your kids check their routines off from the remote.
FAQ
Is Luana a good Cozi alternative?
If you want your family's calendar and routines visible to everyone on the TV (not just on phones), yes. Luana adds an always-on shared screen that Cozi doesn't have.
What does Luana cost compared to Cozi?
Luana is $7.99/mo (14-day free trial). Some phone apps are cheaper; Luana's value is the always-on TV display the whole family sees, not a lower price. Check Cozi's site for its current pricing.
Do I need to buy any hardware to switch?
No. Luana runs on smart TVs you likely already own: Roku, Fire TV, LG, and Google TV are fully supported. If your TV is too old, a ~$30 Fire TV stick works.
Will Luana change my calendar?
No. Luana syncs Google, Apple, and Outlook calendars read-only: it shows your events but never edits them.
Also free from Luana: school district calendars you can subscribe to and show on the TV alongside your family's events.
