Save the person
Add name and occasion. The record belongs to the person, not the gift.
How it works
Save, compare, repeat.
Four steps from a fresh moment to a reusable record. No setup, no account.
Log the gift and reaction
Note what you gave, their reaction, and what they actually used.
Track preferences
Save sizes, allergies, avoid-items, and hobbies as they come up.
Capture next ideas
When inspiration strikes mid-year, save it to the person's record.
What you can save
Good gifting is personal context. The best ideas appear months before the occasion.
The app is short on purpose. The notes field is free text so the record can hold anything that does not fit a label.

Use cases
What people actually save with GiftSaver.

Save a reaction note right after they open it, while the feedback is honest.
Comparison
Why not just use a notes app or a spreadsheet?
You can. GiftSaver is for when a free-form note is not enough and a full database is too much.
vs. A notes app
Gift ideas get buried in general notes. GiftSaver keeps them per person.
vs. A spreadsheet
Spreadsheets work, but GiftSaver already has the right fields for gift tracking.
vs. Memory
Gift ideas appear months before the occasion. Memory loses the detail by then.
FAQ
Questions about GiftSaver.
How does GiftSaver work?
Fill in the form on this page. Each person gets a record of past gifts, reactions, and next ideas.
Can I track multiple people?
Yes. Each record belongs to one person, so you can log separately for family, friends, and colleagues.
Should I share gift records?
Gift records are private by default. Only share intentionally.
Will my data sync across devices?
Not yet. Records stay in this browser. Export to JSON to move them.
