## What is GiftDeck?

It's the night before and you've got nothing. Again.

Birthdays live in three places at once: your head, your Contacts, and a shared family calendar. GiftDeck brings all three into one list, and lets you park gift ideas next to the person they're for, whenever you happen to spot one instead of when you're under pressure.

Reminders then turn up weeks ahead rather than the morning of, so there's still time to order something and have it arrive. See something online, share it into the app, and it lands on the right person's list. When someone asks what to get your kid, send the whole list over in a few taps.

With the widget on your Home Screen or Lock Screen, you see who's next without opening the app.

WHAT'S IN IT

• Birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Valentine's Day, or anything you name yourself
• A Christmas list: who you're giving to, whose present you've already got, and what it was in the end
• Reminders weeks ahead, on the day itself, or both, set per event
• Gift ideas with links, photos and prices, with photos straight from the camera
• Share idea lists, for one person or everyone on the Christmas list in a single message
• Mark an idea as given, so nobody gets the same thing twice
• A notes field per person, for what you'd otherwise forget
• iPhone and iPad, with the list and a person side by side on the bigger screen
• Syncs through your own iCloud, so a new device picks up where the old one left off
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
• Ask Siri what's coming up
• Tools to fix messy imported names and merge duplicate entries, including ones you pick yourself

NO ACCOUNT, NO SERVER

No sign-up, no ads, no tracking, nothing analysed. Your list syncs between your own devices through your iCloud account, never through a server of ours, and we cannot see any of it. Sharing is always something you start, and backups are plain files you make and keep yourself.

FREE AND PAID

Free covers 15 people with every feature included. A single purchase removes the limit and adds bulk import from Contacts and Calendar. No subscription.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-10-19

Simpler and clearer: set up Christmas once for everyone. The reminder names who still needs a gift, comes back a week before, and afterwards you note what you gave. Pick birthdays and anniversaries like in Contacts, with or without a year. Snap gift ideas with the camera right in the app, and shared idea lists now include prices and can cover several people at once. Reminders no longer arrive more than once. Plus many small improvements throughout.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-12

Reminders now arrive even when an event is already closer than your lead time. Dates stay on the right day when you travel. GiftDeck is also simpler and clearer to use, with better support for large text and VoiceOver.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-20

Christmas now has its own page. Pick everyone you're giving to in one go and tick off whose present you've already got. Whoever still needs an idea is at the top. Instead of one notification per person you get a single one, and you set the gift-giving day once for everybody.

Also: search now finds events like Christmas too, shared gift lists end with a line saying where they came from, and you can rate the app from the About screen.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-15

GiftDeck now runs on iPad, with the list and a person side by side, and it speaks German. Your list syncs between your devices through iCloud. Every event can now also remind you on the day itself, or not at all. When the duplicate finder doesn't spot two entries for the same person, you can pick them yourself. And you can start a WhatsApp message straight from someone's page.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-05

Reminders are now reliable on long lists, and a batch of smaller things has been fixed and tidied up.
