About

Hydrangea

Features
Read full description

Hydrangea is a baby shower planner for whoever hosts: a friend, a partner, a sister, a dad, a co-worker or a grandparent. Every guest is a floret on your shower's hydrangea: a green bud while they haven't answered, open when they say yes, pale when they can't make it. Every gift you thank gilds its floret, until the frame is all gold. YOUR SHOWER'S CARD - Whose shower, the day, the start time and the place, in a gilded frame with the countdown - The day is a calendar day, the same on every phone, so a co-host in another time zone sees the same Saturday - Share the card as a picture with your guests GUESTS AS HOUSEHOLDS - Each guest is a household with its adults and children, so you see "42 coming · 11 children", not rows - Coming, maybe, can't make it or not answered yet, one tap each - Each household's address, phone, email and food words in their own words - Who hasn't answered yet, and a reminder message you write and send yourself, one each by default - No guest limit: every household and every gift, for every shower GIFTS AND THEIR GIVERS - A gift from any registry or store knows who gave it, the day it arrived and the day you thanked them - The thank-you list: every received gift with its giver and their mailing address - Gift Opening: a big one-hand screen at the shower; tap who each gift is from as it's opened, even offline (Pro) - Print the thank-you list as a PDF, or open it as a spreadsheet (Pro) THE PLAN AND THE DAY - Tasks by date, with a starting list you edit and the sources it comes from - The menu planned against people coming, each guest's food words beside the dishes, and a reminder to check every dish with the cook - Games, and a budget with cents in the shower's own currency (Pro) - A run sheet for the day as times from the start: move the start and the whole day follows (Pro) - On the shower's day the Shower tab becomes The Day: the time, now and next, who's coming PLAN WITH A CO-HOST - Invite a co-host through iCloud; they plan from their own iPhone or iPad with their own Apple Account (Pro) - Your co-hosts share your Pro for that shower, so nobody pays twice - Stop sharing at any time; you keep every guest, gift and task ON YOUR HOME SCREEN AND LOCK SCREEN - Widgets for the countdown and for who hasn't answered yet - On the shower's day, now and next and the gifts opened so far on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island (Pro) - Siri and Shortcuts: add a guest, log a gift, ask how many are coming MORE THAN ONE PARTY - A sprinkle, a gender reveal or the next shower beside this one, each with its own guests, gifts and plan (Pro) - Copy a guest list from one event to the next (Pro) YOUR GUESTS' DETAILS STAY WITH YOU - No account and no sign-in, no ads and no analytics - Everything stays on your phone and in your own iCloud, and with the co-hosts you invite; nothing goes to us - Export every record as spreadsheets at any time FOR IPHONE AND IPAD - A sidebar on the iPad, every screen in light and dark, large text - In English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian FREE AND PRO Free, for every shower: the card and its picture, every guest and answer, gifts with their givers and thank-you ticks, tasks with the starting list, the menu and games. Hydrangea Pro adds the day itself: Gift Opening, the run sheet, the budget, the printable thank-you list, co-hosts and more events. Choose Pro for good (pay once, nothing renews), monthly or yearly.
