If you have kids, you may find yourself scolding them often for always being glued to their hand-held devices. You may find yourself scolding your SO for this as well. Rather than trying in vein to redirect their attention from their various screens, why not take advantage of it? We’ve rounded up four user-friendly apps that will help you and your loved ones manage your communal lives.

Cozi 

Using Cozi, you can create calendars, to-do list, set reminders, plan meals, and contribute to a family grocery list; these features are then automatically synced to your family members’ devices, keeping everyone in the loop about the going-ons at home.

This app also has a feature which allows you to request a family member to complete a specific task, making it near impossible for them to claim they “forgot” to pick up more dog food from the pet store.
