Gave

Family wish lists, no spoilers

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Everyone can see what's been claimed, except the person it's for. No duplicate gifts, no spoilt surprises. Gave is a shared wish list for family and friends. Add the things you'd love, follow the people you buy for, and see what they're hoping to get. When someone reserves a wish, everyone else can see it's taken, so nobody ends up buying the same thing. And the person who made the wish never finds out what's been reserved or bought. The surprise stays a surprise. Add a wish from any link Paste a link and Gave fills in the title, picture and price from the shop. Spotted something in Safari or another app? Share it straight to your list, then drag your wishes into whatever order you like. Secret gift ideas Thought of something that isn't on their list? Save it as a secret gift idea that only you can see. If another giver is planning something similar, or it's close to something already on the list, Gave lets you know before you buy. Birthdays and Christmas at a glance See whose birthday is coming up, and how far you've got with each gift. If you still haven't sorted something, Gave reminds you 3, 7 or 14 days before. On your Home Screen The widget keeps upcoming birthdays and Christmas on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, and shows whether you've got a gift ready. Add a wish from Control Centre, or just ask Siri. Group gifts Add others to your reservation and chip in together on something pricier. Everything you've promised My reservations shows what you've said you'll buy and what you've already got. Showing your screen to the person you're buying for? Turn on "Hide status" and every reservation is hidden. Easy for the whole family Send an invite link and they can follow you in one tap. They sign in with Apple, so there's no new password to remember, and text follows the size set on their iPhone. Free, and private No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases. Your data is never sold, and there are no analytics. Make your profile private if you'd like to approve followers. Gave is built and run by one person, with the server and your data in Norway.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Gave now speaks English. If your iPhone is set to English, the whole app follows, including widgets, Siri and notifications. • Private notes: jot down anything just for yourself, or a gift idea before you've decided who it's for. Turn it into a wish or a gift idea whenever you're ready. • One form for everything: wishes, notes and gift ideas are all added the same way, from the app or straight from the Share menu. • Your gifts on their profile: open someone you follow to see what you've reserved for them and your gift ideas, side by side. • Want what they want? Add someone else's wish to your own list in a tap. They won't be told. • Any currency: prices keep the currency they were added in. Pick your own under Settings > Currency. • Christmas your way: choose 24 or 25 December, or turn Christmas off. • Adding a wish is easier to reach on Home and Profile. • You can now select and copy wish titles. • Pasting text with Apple Intelligence now works in English too. • Reminders arrive on time wherever you live. • Going back from a wish keeps your place in the list.
