Birthday reminders and gift ideas in one place

How it works

1. Add your peopleBy hand or from Contacts. Unlimited people, free.
2. Get reminded in timeA week ahead, the day before and on the day by default — three days ahead if you prefer — plus an optional Sunday summary of the week ahead. Each reminder shows where that person's gift stands.
3. Ask for ideasPick a budget and get a set of suggestions for that person, from their interests and age.
4. Keep the listCollect ideas, paste links, note prices, mark gifts bought and then given, and keep a year-by-year history.

What it looks like

A gift tracker without the spreadsheet

A Christmas or birthday gift tracker is usually a spreadsheet: names down the side, ideas, a budget, bought, wrapped, given. Giftwise is that sheet with the reminders attached — it knows the dates, keeps the ideas per person, and keeps a list of what you gave, so last year's gift is there to check.

Free, with Pro for more

The free app includes unlimited people and wishlists, reminders, Contacts import and three gift-idea sets a month. Giftwise Pro — monthly, yearly or once for life — adds unlimited ideas, more occasions, lead times per occasion, budgets with year-by-year history, and PDF export.

Honest about the limits

• Ideas are suggestions. They come from what you tell it about the person — the better the notes, the better the ideas.
• No account. Your people, dates and lists stay on your iPhone. Purchases go through the App Store.
