Christmas Gift Tracker App

This Christmas gift tracker is a real app for everyone on your list: give each person a budget, move every gift from "to buy" to "given", and always know what's still safe to spend.

It works as your Christmas gift list, holiday budget planner and shopping list in one. On your phone in the shop it shows what's left to buy, store by store, with big buttons you can tap with one hand.

It's an interactive web app, not a spreadsheet and not a printable PDF. No formulas, no locked cells, nothing to install.

What you get

• One PDF with your private download link and a quick-start guide
• The Gift Book app (one file you keep for every Christmas)
• Optional sample data with a made-up family, to import from Settings and explore every screen first

How to open it

1. After purchase, your PDF includes the private access link and quick-start guide. 2. Tap the link inside to get your app. 3. Open it and start planning gifts. The PDF shows the quick steps for every device, including iPhone and iPad.

What's inside (10 sections)

Today

• Countdown to Christmas (or your own gift day)
• Money left, gifts in hand, gifts still to buy and to wrap
• A short "do this week" list: who is over budget, what to order by when, what arrives soon, what to wrap

In-Store mode

• Everything still to buy, filtered by store
• Type the price you paid, tap "Got it"
• See right away how much that person has left
• "I found something!" saves a gift that wasn't on your list

People and budgets

• A gift tag for everyone: family, partner, kids, friends, work, teachers
• A spending limit per person, with a bar that shows spent and left
• Over-budget warnings before a gift goes over
• Sizes, likes, allergies and an address for their card

Gift board

• Five stops: To buy → Ordered → Have it → Wrapped → Given
• Board or list view, search, and filters by person and buyer
• Arrival dates and order or tracking numbers
• Stocking stuffers, shared gifts split between people, and "who buys it" (me or my partner)

Christmas budget

• Budget, spent, still to buy and safe to spend in one clear bar
• Extra costs (wrapping, postage, shipping) count toward the total
• Savings plan: how much to put aside each week
• Deal watch: set a target price for Black Friday and see when it's hit

Gift history

• Every past Christmas saved, with what you gave and spent
• Search every gift and every year so you never repeat a present
• "Start next year" keeps your people and history and clears the slate

And more

• Idea bank: save ideas with a link and price, turn one into a gift in a tap
• Christmas cards and thank-yous: who gets a card, who sent one, who you still need to thank, plus a printable address list
• Secret Santa: draw names with "can't draw" pairs and a spending limit, then pass the phone so each person sees their name in private
• Secret screen: one tap blurs gift names and prices when someone walks past
• Reports by person, category, store and year, with print and CSV export
• Any currency, your own date format
• Backup and restore from Settings, with automatic saved copies

Made yours

• 3 themes: Snowfall, Midnight (dark) and Kraft
• English, Español, Français. Switch any time in Settings
• Customization on request after purchase
• Free updates
• One-time payment. No subscription, no monthly fees

Shopping with a partner?

Turn on cloud sync and both of you sign in with the same account on your own phones. Changes from both phones are merged, and each gift can show who buys it.

Good to know

Device mode keeps your data in this browser. Clearing your browser data erases it, so download a backup now and then (Settings), or turn on cloud sync.

What you need

• A phone, tablet or computer with a modern browser (Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox)
• Internet only to download the app and, if you choose, for cloud sync
• A printer only if you want paper lists

What you don't get

• No physical item is shipped
• Not a Google Sheets or Excel file, and not printable planner pages
• Not an App Store app: it opens in your browser
• No hosting, dinner or menu planning: this one is all about gifts
• It doesn't email anyone or connect to online shops
• No data is preloaded: the app starts empty, and the sample data is optional
