A chat they never see.
Every gift gets its own chat with everyone except the person it is for. No hints in badges, counts or notifications.
Five people. One rain jacket. Zero spoilers.
GiftKin plans one gift per person with the whole family: a private chat without them, ideas everyone rates, a limit for every budget, and one tally settled after the holidays.

Start a gift for someone
Their wishlist becomes the first ideas. Everyone else gets the chat; they get nothing to see.

Settle once
Every purchase across every gift becomes one short list of who pays whom.

Gift members only. Rosa never sees this.
Ideas everyone rates.
Start from their wishlist, add your own ideas, rate them with stars. The favorite rises to the top.
A limit for every budget.
Leo can put in $15, Grandma $40. GiftKin splits the rest fairly and shows exactly how.
One tally for the season.
Every purchase across every gift adds up to one short list of who pays whom. Settle once, after the holidays.
TTom pays Anna$45.00
LLeo pays Maya$12.50
Two transfers for the whole season, across every gift.
Money stays where it is
A calculator, not a bank.
GiftKin never holds, sends or asks for money. It records who bought what and works out the fairest way to even up. You pay each other however you already do.

Can the person a gift is for find out?
No. Rosa never sees a gift for Rosa: not its chat, not its ideas, not a count, a badge or a notification. Her app looks exactly as if the gift did not exist. We test that rule at every layer of the app.
Does GiftKin take payments?
No. GiftKin never touches money. It keeps track of who bought what and suggests who pays whom; you settle the way your family already does.
What about money, is that secret too?
Money is the one place where we chose openness. To keep the transfers short, Who pays whom can combine gifts, and group admins can open all the numbers to check them. When they do, every gift chat is told.
Who can join?
Anyone 13 or older with a Google account. Younger kids and grandparents without a phone can still be part of a gift: someone in the family adds them and acts for them.
Which phones does it work on?
Android first. A web version follows for everyone else in the family, so nobody is left out of the planning.
Your family’s next gift could start here.
