How the main features work

People & Profiles

Add the people in your life with their interests, clothing sizes, preferences, and things to avoid. Upload a photo so you can spot them at a glance. Archive anyone you are not actively buying for.

Occasions & Upcoming

Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and one-off events, each with an optional budget. Annual occasions come round again each year, and one you haven't finished stays on your Upcoming list until you mark it complete.

Gift Ideas Pool

Capture ideas whenever they come to you, with a link, price, and notes. Assign them to a person or leave them unassigned until you know. Shortlist or promote an idea straight into an active gift plan.

Gift Tracking

Follow each gift from idea through ordered, bought, arrived, wrapped, and given, or mark it cancelled if plans change. Price, store, and occasion are all recorded. Spending shows against the occasion budget as you go.

Gifts Received

Log gifts you receive, who they came from, and whether you have sent a thank-you. The Upcoming page highlights pending thank-you notes so nothing slips.

Calendar & History

See occasions on a month calendar or year overview. Each person's page shows their full giving and receiving history grouped by year, so you never repeat a gift by accident.

Works With Your AI Assistant

Assistant access in Settings is off until you turn it on. While it's on and Gift Keeper is open, an AI assistant on your Mac such as Claude Desktop or ChatGPT desktop can read and change your records, and what it reads is sent to the AI service behind that assistant. The setup steps are in the help centre.

Organised Gift Givers

You plan ahead, track budgets, and want one place for every occasion instead of scattered notes and lists.

Large Families

Lots of birthdays, lots of people, lots of preferences to remember. Profiles and history keep it manageable.

Holiday Planners

Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid, or any holiday with a long gift list. Cards, budgets, and shipping status all in one place.

Couples

Share a Mac and keep one record of what you have given together, what is in progress, and what ideas you are saving.

Anyone Tired of Spreadsheets

If you have been tracking gifts in a spreadsheet, this does what the spreadsheet does but with an Upcoming list, budgets, and a calendar.

Anyone Who Values Privacy

Keep personal gift plans and the details people share with you on your own computer.

Why Gift Keeper instead of a spreadsheet or a notes app?

Occasions roll forward

Annual events automatically advance to the next year when they pass. You do not have to update dates manually.

Budgets and spending

Set a budget per occasion and see how much you have spent as you go. The Gifts page shows what you have spent this calendar year, and each person and store has their own totals.

Ideas captured in context

Save a gift idea with a link and price, assign it to a person or an occasion later. Promote it to a gift plan when you are ready.

History you can look back on

See what you gave someone last year, what they gave you, and whether you thanked them. Grouped by year on each person's page.

1. Add the people you buy for — name, relationship, interests, sizes, and anything to avoid.
2. Create their occasions — birthdays, anniversaries, holidays. Set a date, recurrence, and budget.
3. Collect gift ideas — save ideas with a link and price whenever you spot something. Assign to a person or leave them in the pool.
4. Track and give — promote an idea to a gift plan, track it through to given, and the history is there for next year.

First time installing one of these apps? The Installing an app guide walks through downloading it from your Gumroad Library and installing it on your Mac.

Yes. Once downloaded and installed, you can manage people, occasions, gift ideas, budgets, gift history and your calendar without an internet connection. Your records, saved photos and local backups stay on your Mac. Update checks and downloads, visiting saved shop links and shopping on external websites need internet.

Do I need an account to use the app?

No. Open the installed app and start planning gifts. You do not need a Gift Keeper account or an online sign-in to access your saved records.

Is my data stored in the cloud?

No. People, occasions, gifts, ideas, and settings are all stored locally on your Mac. The app does not upload your gift records to a cloud service.

Can I back up my data?

Yes. You can export a full backup as a JSON file from Settings and restore from it at any time. Your data is also stored as plain JSON files on your Mac, so you can include the data folder in your own backup routine.

Is the app safe to install?

Yes. Gift Keeper is code-signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarised by Apple, for both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. macOS verifies it opens without security warnings.

Does it work on Windows?

Currently macOS only (12 or later). A Windows version may follow based on demand.

Can I try the app and get a refund?

Yes. Individual app purchases include a 14-day money-back guarantee. Install it, try it, and if it does not suit your needs, email david@tiongcreative.com.au with your order details within 14 days of purchase.

If your purchase is fully refunded and the licence ends, you must stop using the app and delete copies and installers held under that licence. Your own documents and exported work remain yours to keep.

Are updates included?

Yes. When you buy the app on its own there is no subscription, and future updates to it are included.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Gift Keeper is a one-time purchase. There is no monthly fee, no account, and no cloud. Or get every app through the Tiong Creative membership with updates while your membership is active.

How is payment processed?

Prices are in USD and payment is processed securely by Gumroad. Gumroad may show the price converted to your local currency as a guide, but your card is charged in USD, so your bank may add a small foreign transaction fee.

What has changed in the latest version?

If you buy the app, every future update to it is included at no extra cost. Members get updates while their membership is active. See the full list of changes on the changelog page. To update, download the latest version from your Gumroad Library, open the DMG, and drag the app to Applications. Choose Replace when macOS asks. Your data and settings are kept automatically.

Step-by-step guides, from people and occasions to gift ideas and backups, are in the Gift Keeper help pages. Release notes are on the changelog page. For anything else, email david@tiongcreative.com.au.
