The only gift list you'll ever need
Giftboxd is a handcrafted helper for the season of surprises. Keep Christmas lists tidy, nail the next birthday, and remember every "just because" idea without cracking open a spreadsheet.
Built by an indie developer Dad who was just having a hard time tracking his kids birthday's and Christmas!
Giftboxd keeps every idea close, everywhere you go.
Bring every idea with you
Giftboxd keeps the spark alive the moment inspiration strikes--whether you're shopping in town or surfing late-night tabs.
Works wherever you feel inspired
- macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS share the same SwiftData core, so lists stay identical across devices.
- iCloud sync keeps everything in step automatically--no toggles, no extra accounts.
- App Group storage means widgets, Watch complications, and the share extension all see the latest data.
Capture ideas the moment they appear
- Snap a photo in-store to remember packaging or shelf placement; Giftboxd reads price tags on-device.
- Share from any app and we'll pull titles, links, and store info based on location data when available.
- Tag priority, assign budgets, and move gifts from idea to wrapped without losing context.
Widgets & wrist-friendly reminders
- Home and Lock Screen widgets surface countdowns, monthly spend, and the recipient getting the most love.
- iPad extra-large dashboards give a bird's-eye view of every list during peak holiday crunch.
- Apple Watch app and complications refresh hourly, keeping quick add and countdowns on your wrist.
Budgets, recipients, and shared delight
- Track who you're buying for, who's giving alongside you, and how much everyone planned to spend.
- Roll multiple givers into a single present so every contributor stays visible.
- Turn ideas into ready-to-gift plans with notes, links, store details, and photos.
- Analytics views tally spending, flag upcoming budgets, and spotlight anyone you might forget.
Christmas ready, everyday friendly
- Born for Christmas morning, but equally at home with anniversaries, graduations, and just-because surprises.
- Use color-coded priorities to separate urgent elves from nice-to-have notions all year long.
- Let the occasion planner pace every celebration so nothing sneaks up on you.
