We plan out loud

Event Wishlists
Create separate lists for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, and other occasions.
Birthday Reminders
Get notified before a friend's birthday — never forget about a gift again.
Auto-fill from Link
Paste a product link — the name, photo, and price will be filled in automatically.
Gift Thank You
Once you get the gift, send the giver a thank-you with a photo — they are notified right away. Only the two of you see it.
Confirm you got it
The giver handed the gift over but never marked it done? Now you can close it yourself.
Anonymous giving
When you take a gift, you decide — stay anonymous or let the owner see it was you.
Q4 2026 — Gift Karma & Gamification
October — December 2026·4 features · 0 done
Karma — Points for Actions
Earn Karma points for activity in the app: creating gifts, following friends, fulfilling wishes, and daily logins.
Levels
The more Karma you earn, the higher your level — unlocking profile badges, custom colors, animated rings, and exclusive themes.
Streaks
Log in daily to build your streak. An animated flame on your profile shows how many consecutive days you've been active.
Achievements & Badges
Collect badges for your actions. Each badge has a rarity: Common, Rare, Epic, or Legendary — with unique visual styles.
