Lack of private calendar entries in family app

🌱 parentingproduct problemSingle report ●●●●● severity 2/5

A Cozi user reports that the app lacks a feature to mark specific calendar appointments as private, forcing them to maintain a separate personal calendar to keep certain events hidden from other family members.

Who's affected: A Cozi family calendar user who needs to manage personal appointments alongside shared family events.

⚠️ Single report. This is one person's account. We mark it so until more voices confirm it.

What people do today

Maintaining a separate personal calendar app
Not adding private events to the shared calendar
Using a paper planner for private events

🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

Add a 'Private' toggle to the event creation screen that hides the event details from all other family members.
Implement a role-based permission system where specific users can mark events as visible only to themselves.
Create a 'Personal' sub-calendar view that can be toggled on or off by the user without affecting the shared family view.

“if only it would have the option of scheduling a “private” appointment for myself for “my eyes only”, so I wouldn’t have to keep 2 separate calendars.”
