Gift Ideas List Tracker

Read full description

You spot the perfect gift in July and forget it by December. Gift Ideas List Tracker is where that idea goes instead: saved to the person it's for, priced, and counting down to the day you'll need it. Wishlist apps are built for the person receiving gifts. This one is built for you, the person buying them โ€” it follows every idea from Idea to Bought to Given, adds up what you're spending per person, and remembers what you handed over last year so you never repeat it. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข "In 23 days" next to Mum's 60th โ€” every dated idea counts down live, sorted by what's coming next โ€ข A page per person with their relationship, a budget, and every idea with notes, links and prices โ€ข One tap moves a gift from Idea to Bought to Given, so the list always says exactly where you stand โ€ข Spending tallied against each person's budget โ€” estimates first, the real price once you buy โ€ข A given-gift history for every person, the antidote to giving the same scarf twice โ€ข Reminders a week before, a day before and the morning of each date, scheduled on your iPhone PERFECT FOR โ€ข The family gift-buyer juggling birthdays for kids, parents and in-laws โ€ข Christmas planners who start in October and want to finish under budget โ€ข Anyone whose best ideas arrive months before the occasion does โ€ข Thoughtful friends who keep who-got-what straight across the years WHY NOT JUST A NOTES FILE? A note can hold names. It cannot count down to a date, remind you before it, add prices up against a budget, or recall what you gave in 2024. This can โ€” that's the whole point. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your recipients, ideas, budgets and history stay on your iPhone. No account, no ads, no tracking. Notification permission is asked for only if you turn reminders on. FULL ACCESS Gift Ideas List Tracker requires a Full Access plan, which unlocks the complete app: unlimited recipients and gift ideas, spending charts by person and status, and shareable gift lists. Choose weekly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your App Store settings. This year, let the list do the remembering โ€” download Gift Ideas List Tracker and start with the next birthday on your calendar.

Gift Stash

Gift Stash keeps every gift idea, purchase, hiding place and budget in one private app on your iPhone, for any occasion, all year round. Add the people you buy for, with notes and unlimited gift ideas. When an occasion comes up, move a gift through idea, bought, hidden, wrapped and given. Note where you hid it, and find it again later with Stash search across hiding places and titles. Set a budget for each person in an occasion, in any currency, and see your spending against it as you go. Each person's history shows what they were already given, so you don't give the same gift twice. The free experience includes unlimited people and gift ideas, one active occasion with unlimited gifts, per-person budgets, the full idea-to-given status flow, hiding-place tracking, Stash search, given-before history, and archiving past occasions. Gift Stash Plus is a one-time purchase that adds unlimited active occasions, App Lock (Face ID, Touch ID or passcode), and CSV export; the current localized price is shown in the app. Your gifts stay on your device and can use your own private iCloud across your devices. There is no account, no ads, and no developer server that can read your lists. Gift Stash is available in 45 languages.
