GiftNote vs Gift Calendar

Even if memories fade, the feelings embedded in gifts last forever. Record your emotions from the gifts you exchanged in that moment. So that you won’t forget precious moments with your loved ones in the midst of a busy life. Stack up the hearts you have given and received, one by one.

Never give a gift and forget the return. "What did I give them again?" "When is the return due?" "Is this the right amount?" Gift-giving comes with too much to remember. Gift Calendar keeps it all in one place — just log the gifts you give and receive, and returns, seasonal gifting, and your balance fall into line. ■ Log gifts in seconds Record the item, amount, person, date, notes, and a photo for each gift. A calendar and history show exactly when, with whom, and what you exchanged. There's no limit on how many gifts you log. ■ Return amounts and deadlines, automatic From the amount received and your relationship, Gift Calendar suggests a return amount (half or one-third is customary in Japan). It sets a return deadline by occasion — birth, wedding, a new home — and your pending returns line up by due date in one to-do list, so you never miss one. ■ Seasonal gifts, birthdays & milestones Get reminders for seasonal gifting (Ochugen/Oseibo) timed to the recipient's region. Longevity celebrations and wedding anniversaries are calculated automatically from birthdays and marriage dates, so you stay ahead. ■ See who you give to — and who gives to you Your giving balance is visualized per person and per relationship. Gently notice when you've been "only receiving," and keep your relationships in balance. ■ Gift etiquette, right when you need it Get guidance on the right ceremonial wrapper (noshi/mizuhiki) and label for each occasion — the small etiquette questions, answered on the spot. ■ Your records stay yours Data is stored and synced only on your iPhone and in your own private iCloud database. No ads, no third-party AI, no account sign-up, no location tracking. Everything is processed on device. ■ Widgets and Siri Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your next events and return deadlines. Just say "log a gift in Gift Calendar" or "check returns in Gift Calendar" to jump straight in. — Who it's for — • You can never remember who you gave what • You struggle with return amounts and deadlines every time • You don't want to forget seasonal gifts, birthdays, or milestones • You don't want your gift records living in someone else's cloud — Pricing — Free to download.
