Tischly: Family Calendar
Wish Lists & Secret Santa
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your family calendar, shared wish lists and Secret Santa in one app. Plan get-togethers, share the shopping and find gifts they'll love – without losing the details in a group chat.
PLAN FAMILY TIME TOGETHER
Who's coming to dinner? What should everyone bring? Create events, accept or decline and keep track of children and extra guests. Stay on top of birthdays and reminders. You can also subscribe to your Tischly events in your iPhone calendar.
SHARE WISH LISTS, AVOID DUPLICATE GIFTS
Save gift ideas for birthdays, Christmas and other occasions, including lists for children. Add links to wishes and share a list with one web link. Friends and relatives can view it in their browser without the app or an account. Secretly reserve gifts to keep the surprise intact.
SECRET SANTA WITHOUT THE PAPER SLIPS
Choose participants, set your rules and draw names privately. Your recipient's wish list helps you find the right gift. Made for family gatherings and groups of friends.
SHARED SHOPPING LISTS AND TO-DOS
Keep groceries, things to bring and everyday tasks on shared lists. Everyone can claim items and check things off. See who's taking care of what without chasing replies.
SAVE RECIPES AND SHARE THE COOKING
Take a photo of a recipe, check the recognized ingredients and preparation steps, then adjust servings for your group. Add ingredients to a shared list. See who's cooked before so the same people don't always do everything.
