Caution! This app supports gender identities beyond the binary system. The “Lend&Share” app is designed for easy management of items that are lent, gifted, or received – and it offers even more. With this app, you can create a list of gift ideas or keep track of items entrusted to you for safekeeping, such as house keys. By assigning items to specific people, everything remains well-organized. Information like item descriptions, images, prices, and dates can be entered and saved. This way, you always have an overview of everything you’ve lent, gifted, or received. Common questions like “Did I already gift this book to my mother?” or “Where is my toolset?” become a thing of the past. The app also allows you to save frequently used items in a favorites list. You can manage people who have been gifted or lent items as favorites. Additionally, you can create customized lists through simple queries. The following elements can be recorded and managed: 1. Objects: These are items such as books, tools, etc., that you have gifted or received. Additional information like a photo, date, description, and price can be added. Objects can be sent via email (Apple Mail) to other app users – convenient for sharing gift ideas. 2.
