## What is Wichtelrunde?

A gift exchange where nobody has to create an account.

No email address, no password, no sign-up. You start a group, hand out invitation codes, and whoever has a code is in. That is all it takes.

HOW IT WORKS

• Start a group and name it; date and budget are optional
• Pass on an invitation: as a link, as a QR code to scan, or as a code to read aloud
• Everyone adds their wishes
• You run the draw, and each person sees their own target — nobody else does

WHAT THE APP CAN DO

• Wish lists with description, link and a note on price
• Exclusions for couples and households: people who live together never draw each other
• Anonymous chat with the person you are giving to — and with the person giving to you, without ever learning who that is
• A group link for the family chat — one for everyone, instead of one per person
• Several groups side by side on one device: family, office and club at the same time
• As the organiser you can take part yourself
• If someone drops out, you take over that one assignment — visibly for everyone, so nobody can peek in secret
• Pair a second device without setting anything up again
• On iPad the layout uses the width: the tab bar becomes a sidebar
• Background music, haptics and sounds can each be switched off

NO ACCOUNT — HOW?

When you start or join a group, the app creates a secret that lives in your device's keychain and never leaves it. That is what identifies the app on every request. Exactly once you are shown a recovery key: it is the way back if the device is lost. Write it down. We cannot show it again — the server only keeps a checksum of it.


• No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases.
• No tracking, no analytics, no advertising ID.
• No email address, no phone number, no contacts.
• No account with us and no sign-in through other services.

DATA

Names, wishes and messages are stored encrypted on the server. The draw is built so that no view exists that shows all assignments — not even for the group's organiser. Each person retrieves their own result.
