What's inside
Five things every group ends up needing. In one place, instead of five apps.
Nothing here is clever. It is the ordinary set of jobs a class, team, or troop actually has, done once for everybody instead of separately by every family.
Directory
Everyone has everyone, without anyone typing it twice
Twenty families, and every parent separately keying in the same twenty names and numbers. That is the errand this replaces.
- The directory fills itself in as people join. Nobody maintains a spreadsheet.
- Save any family to your phone's contacts in one tap.
- Email a few families at once from your own mail app, no copy-and-paste chain.
- Each parent controls what they share. Some give a phone number, some only an email, and that is fine.
Contacts are encrypted for your group
Photos and video
The picnic photos actually reach you
Everyone snaps pictures, half of them are of your kid, and somehow none of them make it to your camera roll. Texts squash them, AirDrop assumes an iPhone, shared albums assume a Google account.
- One album per event that anyone in the group can add to.
- Download at full resolution, free, on whatever phone you carry.
- No likes and no comments. A photo is just a photo.
- Video too, so the goal and the school play survive at full length.
Encrypted on your device before they leave it
Events and RSVPs
Plan the picnic, see who is actually coming
The plan lived in a group half the class is not in, so you heard about it late. Events sit where everyone can see them.
- RSVP in one tap, and change your mind without a follow-up text.
- See the count at a glance, so you know how many hot dogs to buy.
- Upcoming and past, always current, with the details attached to the event.
- Add it to your own calendar and get on with your day.
Event details and RSVPs are encrypted end to end
Discussion
The carpool question stops getting buried
Someone asks about a ride to Friday's game, and by the time you scroll back it is under forty replies about who is bringing snacks.
- A thread per topic, so a question stays findable a week later.
- Chronological. No algorithm deciding what you see.
- Notifications you can turn down to only what matters to you.
- No feed to perform in, and nobody counting anyone's reactions.
Messages are encrypted end to end
Chip In
Collect for the teacher gift without the Venmo scramble
Twelve people asking twelve different ways for a handle nobody can remember.
- Anyone can start a collection for a shared cost.
- Your own payment link is built in, so there is no hunting for handles.
- Everyone pays the organizer directly. Group Space does not touch the money.
- It is a post, not a ledger. Group Space never handles the money and never records who paid.
Amounts and payment details are encrypted end to end
One place
The room parent's job, minus the busywork.
The organizer sets it up. Everyone else joins free, on whatever phone they carry.
