## What is Wichtlify?

Organize Secret Santa in minutes. With Wichtlify, you can draw names fairly, set exclusions, share private participant links, and collect wish lists—without paper slips or requiring everyone to create an account.

Whether you are organizing for family, friends, an office, classroom, club, or team, Wichtlify keeps invitations, rules, assignments, and important updates clearly organized in one place.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Create your group
Set up your Secret Santa or gift exchange and add the essential event details.

2. Add participants
Add everyone to the group, then share their private participant links.

3. Set the rules
Create exclusions for couples, households, siblings, teams, or any other pairings you want to prevent.

4. Draw names fairly
Wichtlify creates a private 1:1 assignment with no self-matches. Each participant only sees the information intended for them.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.2 — 2026-08-07

Getting ready for the gifting season: we improved group setup and fixed an issue where saving could fail while creating a group. Plus smaller improvements and better stability around draws and group management.

### 3.1 — 2026-07-22

Bugfixes

### 3.0 — 2026-07-17

Wichtlify has a completely new look!

• A modern, festive design
• A clearer home screen and easier navigation
• Optimized layouts for iPhone and iPad
• Improved readability and accessibility
• Many refinements and bug fixes

Happy Secret Santa!

### 2.4 — 2026-04-22

This version brings a broader UX refresh with a stronger focus on native iOS behavior:

• Group and list views have been refined with clearer navigation, cleaner rows, more legible actions, and a calmer presentation of dates.
• The admin dashboard has been simplified so key actions are easier to find and secondary options are better organized.
• Setup, invite, and member flows now use more natural iOS navigation with clearer actions and less visual clutter.
• Notifications now behave more intuitively: tapping a notification takes you back to the relevant private group view and marks it as read. Individual notifications can still be marked as read with a swipe gesture.
• Settings have also been cleaned up and now prioritize the most important account actions more clearly.
• In addition, we made many smaller improvements to lists, menus, contrast, and overall consistency.

### 2.3 — 2026-04-21

We polished Wichtlify throughout:

- Group creation, invitations, and member management now guide you more clearly from setup to launch.
- Admin dashboards, public group pages, private draw views, wishes, exclusions, and settings are cleaner and easier to read.
- Pro, subscription, branding, reminders, and organizer messages are easier to understand.
- Deep links, loading states, notifications, translations, and accessibility have been improved.
- Plus many smaller fixes for a smoother experience.
