GIFTIT is a quiet little atelier for the most human of habits: noticing something someone would love, and remembering it until their day arrives. ADD THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE Give each person a profile โ€” their birthday, the days they celebrate, the things they're into, sizes, notes, and a yearly budget if you like. GIFTIT supports celebrations across many faiths and cultures: Christmas, Diwali, Eid al-Fitr, Hanukkah, Lunar New Year, Mother's and Father's Day, Valentine's, anniversaries and more โ€” plus any custom day you invent. IDEAS FIND THEIR OWN OCCASION Jot a gift idea the moment it strikes. GIFTIT automatically threads it onto the right upcoming occasion for that person โ€” a precious idea waits for a major day, a small one lands on the next celebration. You can always override with a tap. ONE LUMINOUS TIMELINE The Upcoming screen gathers every occasion for everyone you love onto a single thread of days, soonest first, each showing how ready you are. No more mental arithmetic in the gift-wrap aisle. THE FULL LIFE OF A GIFT Idea to got it to wrapped to given. Track each stage with a satisfying tap, watch budgets fill elegantly, and keep a quiet ledger of your own generosity. REMINDERS THAT RESPECT YOU Choose your lead times โ€” 21, 14, 7, 3 days or the day before. Gentle nudges, never more than one a day, so nothing arrives late. MADE TO BE LOOKED AT GIFTIT is drawn in aurora light: a 3D gift that turns softly on your home screen, glassy cards, serif headlines, tiny haptics and glass-chime sounds. Nightfall and Daybreak themes included. It feels less like a database and more like a keepsake. EXTRAS, FOR WHEN IT'S MORE THAN ONE PERSON โ€ข Secret Santa โ€” draw names with everyone in one place, and nobody sees who has who. โ€ข Chip in together โ€” buy one bigger present between you, everyone looking at the same list. โ€ข Couples mode โ€” drop each other hints all year, and never let on which ones you've sorted. โ€ข Your wishlist โ€” one link for everyone who asks. They can see what's taken, you never can. โ€ข The sky that night โ€” pick a place and a night and we'll print the stars that were over it. SPARKS (OPTIONAL ONE-TIME UNLOCK) When you're stuck, summon six tailored gift ideas woven from a person's interests, the occasion and your budget โ€” thirty sparks a month, one payment, yours forever. AUTOPILOT (OPTIONAL ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION) Autopilot costs ยฃ9.99 per year. For that year it watches every occasion for everyone on your lists and puts three gift ideas on a person's list 14 days before each of their days โ€” without you asking, and without spending a spark. Payment is charged to your Apple account when you confirm the purchase. It renews for another year at the same price unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the year ends, and you can manage or cancel it at any time in your Apple subscription settings. GIFTIT works fully without an account โ€” sign in only if you want your people backed up or want to plan a gift together with someone.
