## What is Gift Buddy?

Gift Buddy helps you keep gift ideas, Christmas lists, birthday gifts, recipients, occasions, budgets, purchases, reminders, and wrapping status organized in one private planner.

Add people you buy for, save gift ideas as they come up, connect each gift to an occasion, track prices and budgets, and mark every gift as planned, bought, shipped, arrived, wrapped, given, or returned. Use Gift Buddy for birthdays, holidays, Christmas, anniversaries, teacher gifts, coach gifts, host gifts, thank-you notes, and past-year gift history.

Use Gift Buddy to:
- Save gift ideas before you forget them
- Track gifts by person and occasion
- See what still needs action
- Manage budgets and spending
- Track bought, shipped, arrived, wrapped, and given gifts
- Attach gift photos, screenshots, or files
- Schedule local reminders before important dates
- Export your gift list with Gift Buddy Pro

Your data stays on your device. Gift Buddy does not require account sign-in, social wishlist sharing, email scanning, store integration, or cloud storage in the current version.

Gift Buddy Pro unlocks full holiday and birthday planning: unlimited recipients, unlimited gifts, unlimited occasions, photo/screenshot attachments, yearly gift history, CSV export, and custom occasion types.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings.
