Jinnie is a free wishlist app for iPhone. Build a gift list for a birthday, Christmas, or any occasion, share it with one link, and the people buying for you can open the list in a browser and claim a gift - so nobody buys the same thing twice. WHAT YOU CAN DO Build a list in seconds - Create as many wishlists as you want, with as many items as you want - Paste a product link and Jinnie fills in the title, image, and price for you - Or add an item by hand, with your own photo, price, and note - Save from Safari or Chrome with the iOS share sheet - See the total value of everything on a list Share it with one link - Send one link by message, email, or anywhere else - Whoever opens it sees your list in their browser. No download, no signup wall - Or share your public profile at jinnie.co/yourname so people always find the current list - Every list is private, friends-only, or public - you choose, per list Claim gifts, avoid duplicates - A gift-giver marks an item as claimed so other people know it is taken - Other gift-givers see that an item is claimed, never who claimed it - Claims can be cancelled if plans change - Buying from the web needs an email confirmation, not a full account Follow the people you buy for - Add friends and family, and see their lists when they share them - An activity feed shows what changed since you last looked - Browse curated gift guides inside the app when you have no idea what to buy MADE FOR Birthday planners - the person who always gets asked "what do you want?" three weeks before Families organising Christmas - one list per person, so cousins and grandparents stop buying the same board game Couples - a shared list of things you are both saving toward Anyone with a "someday" list - keep the things you want in one place instead of 40 open browser tabs FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How do I share a wishlist? Open the list, tap share, and send the link. The person who opens it sees your list in a browser straight away - they do not need the app or an account to look at it. Can people claim gifts without me seeing who? Gift-givers can mark an item as claimed. Other gift-givers see that it is taken but never see who took it, so two people do not buy the same present. Do my friends need the app to use my list? No. Anyone with the link can open your list in a browser. To claim an item from the web they confirm an email address, which keeps claims honest - but there is no account to create. Is Jinnie a wishlist or a gift registry? Both, in practice. A registry is usually one list tied to one event; Jinnie is a list you keep all year and reuse for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, or a baby shower. You just make a new list per occasion. Can I add things from any online store? Paste the product link and Jinnie pulls in the details. It works best on large retailers like Amazon and Best Buy; on smaller sites it fills in what the page publishes and you can edit the rest. Is Jinnie free? Yes. There is no paid plan, no subscription, and no limit on how many lists or items you can have. Who can see my list? Only the people you send it to, unless you set the list to public. Every list is private, friends-only, or public, and you can change it whenever you like. Does it work for Secret Santa or a group? You can each make a list and share the links, so everyone knows what to buy. Jinnie does not draw names for you and does not split the cost of one gift between people. Jinnie is available on iPhone and on the web at jinnie.co. The app is translated into 33 languages.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Jinnie at none against Moonsift's shown. Jinnie also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Moonsift's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 62%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
