Giftwise
Every gift idea, budget and past present — one private page per person
Capture the idea the moment they hint at it, move it idea → bought → given with one tap, keep a budget per occasion, and check what you already gave before you buy. Free in your browser, no account, no shared wishlist.
Stored in your browser only. Nothing you do in the web version is sent to our servers. Clear your browser data and it's gone — so export a backup from the in-app menu if you want to keep it.
This app is a community proposal.
Try the full browser version now. We build the iPhone and Android app once 100 people upvote it.

What you can do in Giftwise on the web
A page per person
Emoji, relationship, birthday countdown and the notes you always forget in the shop — sizes, shoe size, allergies, the brands they love.
Ideas that move in one tap
Every gift idea carries a price and a status badge. Tap it and it goes idea → bought → given, so the shopping list and the totals stay honest.
Occasions with a real budget bar
Birthday, Christmas, Anniversary and ten more presets, each with a date, a budget, a running spend and an over-budget warning in red.
Gift history so you never repeat
Log what you actually gave, what it cost and how it landed. Each person's page lists everything they have already unwrapped.
One shopping list across everyone
The Ideas tab totals what is still to buy, what is already committed, and shows a donut of spend per person.
Your currency, your browser
Pick USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, INR or SGD; export the gift history as CSV or a full JSON backup. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Questions
Is the web version of Giftwise free?+
Yes. Every screen is free to use: no subscription, no in-app purchases, no account.
Do I need an account?+
No. Open Giftwise and start using it right away. Sign in with Google only if you want to upvote an app, save it to your list, or leave a comment.
Where is my data stored?+
Only in this browser's local storage. Nothing you enter is sent to our servers, so we can't see it, back it up, or restore it. Clearing site data, a private window, or another device starts empty. Export a backup from the in-app menu to keep it.
Is there a Giftwise app for iPhone or Android?+
Not yet. Giftwise is a community proposal: the browser version is complete, and we build the iPhone and Android app once 100 people upvote it. Upvoters get one email when it ships.
