FlockConnect LLC makes Ozzie, which is why its full name is Ozzie by FlockConnect. Work on it started in the AI for Church Hackathon 2026. Its code is open source under the Apache-2.0 license at github.com/tribett/ozzie, and its own website is ozzie.church.

Ozzie and FlockConnect are separate products made by the same company. Ozzie is a standalone Mac app for Sunday readiness and church admin work. FlockConnect is a Church Relationship Manager for pastoral care. Ozzie carries the name Ozzie by FlockConnect to show who makes it, and it is not a FlockConnect feature.

FlockConnect is an Official and Authorized Planning Center Integration: a church on Planning Center connects its account, and people changes arrive within minutes. FlockConnect LLC is an independent company with no ownership tie to Planning Center. Ozzie also reads from Planning Center, and it never writes to it.

No. FlockConnect's Privacy Policy says it does not sell members' or churches' personal information and never uses church data for advertising. Each church is the controller of its own member and pastoral data. FlockConnect processes that data only to run the service, and an account owner can export it at any time.

FlockConnect, the Church Relationship Manager, is not open source. The company's open-source project is Ozzie, whose Mac app and core are published under the Apache License 2.0 at github.com/tribett/ozzie. Every safety check Ozzie relies on is in that public code, so anyone can read it.

The company press kit is at flockconnectllc.com/press/. It has boilerplates for FlockConnect LLC, FlockConnect and Ozzie, a short founder bio, logo files, naming rules and a press contact. Product screenshots and FlockConnect's prior coverage are in the product press kit at flockconnect.com/press.

FlockConnect LLC is the company. FlockConnect is its first product, a Church Relationship Manager for pastors and church staff, found at flockconnect.com. The company also makes Ozzie by FlockConnect. This website, flockconnectllc.com, is about the company: who owns it, what it commits to, and how to reach it.

No. Collie is the AI assistant inside FlockConnect, and it comes with FlockConnect's Collie plans; the Starter plan does not include it. Collie can draft a note or suggest a next step. Nothing it drafts reaches a member or a connected system, and no care record is created, until a person approves it.
