Built for families

Everything your family needs to stay close

Degree1 gives your family a private home online — a space where parents, adult kids, grandparents, and extended family can share freely without worrying about who’s watching.

📸
Share Photos and Moments
Post photos, updates, and life moments to a feed that only your family members can see. Nothing is public, indexed, or shared outside your group.
📅
Family Events and RSVPs
Create events for reunions, holidays, birthdays, and get-togethers. Track RSVPs so you always know who’s coming.
🎩
Coordinate Group Gifts
Use Pass the Hat to pool contributions for birthday gifts, wedding presents, or family trips — no need to switch to a separate app or awkward group texts about money.
⭐
Share What You Love
Recommend restaurants, movies, books, and places to your family through the Picks tab. Organized by category so nothing gets lost in the feed.

Why not a family Facebook group?

Facebook family groups are better than nothing — but they come with real tradeoffs. Facebook scans your group’s content to train its ad-targeting system. The platform can change its privacy settings at any time. And the experience is cluttered with ads, notifications about people you’ve never heard of, and engagement bait designed to keep you scrolling.

Degree1 is built exclusively for private groups. There is no public layer, no ad system, and no algorithm. Your family’s photos and conversations are stored for your family — full stop. The person who creates the group controls exactly who gets in. No one joins without a direct invitation.

How it works

Up and running in minutes

One person creates the group, invites family members by email or text, and everyone joins with a simple link. No public signup, no discovery, no strangers.

1️⃣
Create your family group
Download the app and start a new group in under a minute. You become the Key — the group’s administrator.
2️⃣
Invite your family
Send invitations by email or text. Family members receive a private link and join directly — no app store search required to get started.
3️⃣
Share freely
Post photos, create events, share recommendations, and message each other privately — all in one place that belongs to your family.

Give your family a home online.
