Gift Idea Tracker

Ribbons is the simplest way to keep track of every gift you give and every idea you don't want to forget. We've all been there: a birthday is coming up, and you can't remember what you gave last year. Or you spot the perfect gift idea in July but forget it by December. Ribbons solves that. HOW IT WORKS Add the people you care about, then start tracking. For each person, you can save two types of entries: - Gift Ideas: Things you want to give them in the future. Found a great idea while browsing, in conversation, or out of the blue? Save it before you forget. - Gift History: A record of what you've actually given. Add the occasion, the date, and any notes you want to remember. When it's time to give a gift, just swipe an idea to mark it as gifted. It moves from your ideas list into their gift history automatically. FEATURES - Organize gifts and ideas by person - Track occasions like birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and more - Add notes to remember why you picked something - Personalize each person with an emoji and color - Swipe to mark ideas as gifted - Choose from 10 accent colors to make the app yours - Light, Dark, and System theme support BUILT FOR PRIVACY Ribbons is local-first. Your data lives on your device and nowhere else. There are no accounts to create, no cloud to sync to, and no way for anyone, including us, to see what you've saved. Your gift lists are yours alone. SIMPLE BY DESIGN No subscriptions. No ads. No clutter. Just a clean, focused app that does one thing well: helps you be a more thoughtful gift-giver.
