The Gift Journal

Remember what they’d love.

Free · In‑App Purchases

Now in Spanish and Portuguese (Portugal). Remember the story behind every gift, from ideas and hints to received gifts, practical details and private memories. Remember what they’d love — and the gifts that meant something to you. The Gift Journal is a private journal for thoughtful gifting: a calm place to keep ideas, hints, preferences, occasions and the details that make a gift feel considered. Built around people, not products, it helps you remember what someone mentioned months ago, save inspiration while browsing, prepare for important occasions, and build a meaningful history of the gifts you give, receive and remember for others. THINK FROM WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW • Help me think brings together hints, preferences, interests, practical details and gift history already in your journal. • Suggestions explain why they surfaced, with cautions for possible repeats and known traditions. • Dislikes and Avoid gifting steer suggestions away from the wrong direction. • Protected items never participate in Thoughtful Inspiration. REMEMBER THE LITTLE THINGS • Keep a lasting profile for each person, including birthdays, relationships, preferences, practical details and notes. • Practical details can keep previous values when something genuinely changes, while corrections avoid creating false history. • Capture Gift Ideas and Hints with photos, links, prices and context. • Keep a history of gifts you’ve given, received, and meaningful gifts another person received. • Remember who gave a received gift, when and why. • Keep a private Wishlist for yourself. CAPTURE FIRST, FILL IN LATER • Create an Idea or Hint from a photo without needing a product link. • Capture while offline and add the rest later. • Turn a Hint into an Idea while keeping its original “Inspired by…” connection. SAVE IDEAS WHILE YOU BROWSE • Save products and pages from Safari on Mac with Save to The Gift Journal. • Review Browser Saves later and turn them into a Gift Idea or Wishlist item. PLAN WITHOUT THE PRESSURE • See upcoming occasions and gentle readiness cues in Today. • Plan birthdays, Christmas, weddings, anniversaries and custom occasions. • Track optional budgets, planned gifts, actual spend and remaining amounts. • Remember arrival dates, tracking, return dates and where a gift is stored. • Set discreet, privacy-safe reminders. FIND THINGS FASTER • Filter People by My circle, Gift givers, All people, With ideas or With hints. • Optional Spotlight integration can open supported people and saved records from system search. • App Shortcuts provide quick access to Quick Capture, Wishlist and people. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Local-first and useful offline. • Optional private iCloud sync across your Apple devices. • Protect Gift Ideas, Hints and Wishlist items with device authentication. • Preview exactly what you share, with sensitive details off by default. • “Stored at” stays private and is excluded from notifications, system search, widgets and ordinary sharing. • Create full backups and export a portable copy of your journal. • No ads, behavioural-data monetisation or proprietary account required for core use. MADE FOR YOUR APPLE DEVICES • iPhone, iPad and Mac for capture, planning, organisation and remembering. • Apple Watch for quick voice capture and reminder continuity. • Choose from four visual themes. • Available in English, German, Spanish and Portuguese (Portugal). ONE PURCHASE. NO RECURRING SUBSCRIPTION. Download free and explore the complete app for 14 days. Full Unlock is a one-time in-app purchase across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Private iCloud sync is included. The Gift Journal becomes more valuable over time: a quiet record of what people love, what changed, what worked before, what you’ve received, what others received, and what might delight someone next.

The Gift Journal now speaks more languages. • Added complete Spanish localisation. • Added complete Portuguese (Portugal) localisation. • Both new languages cover the full current app experience, including Relationship Memory, received gifts, Practical details, photo-first capture, private “Stored at” memory, reminders and settings. • Spanish and Portuguese include native-speaker review of key terminology, tone, privacy, purchase and App Store wording. • German and English support continue unchanged. • Includes localisation, layout and reliability refinements across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and supporting extensions. Spanish and Portuguese are being introduced as Beta languages so we can continue refining wording with real-world feedback.
