Add tools with categories, brands, model numbers, locations, purchase details, notes, photos, serial numbers, and warranty dates. When someone borrows a tool, ToolVault keeps the loan history close to the tool and borrower, so you can see what is out, what is due back, and what is overdue.

Giftfolio

Giftfolio is a practical SHG organizer for gift ideas, people preferences, occasions, and gift history. Save ideas as they appear, attach them to a person and occasion, add price estimates, keep source or link notes for later, and create reminders for shopping, occasion planning, or thank-you follow-up. Track birthdays, holidays, Christmas, anniversaries, graduations, weddings, baby showers, thank-you gifts, just-because gifts, and custom occasions without making your planning feel tied to only one season. People profiles help you remember useful details such as relationship, birthday, important dates, sizes, interests, favorite colors or styles, notes, and what not to buy again. Gift history helps you remember what you gave, what you received, when it happened, who it was for or from, and what you may want to do differently next time. Giftfolio is local-first in the current version. Your people notes, gift ideas, reminders, and history are stored on your device. Reminder notifications depend on iOS settings and device behavior. Giftfolio does not provide merchant checkout, purchase gifts, guarantee delivery, compare prices, or check inventory. Store, source, and link fields are notes you enter yourself.
