Personal, family or office — a birthday, a festival, a wedding, a thank-you. Keep what was given and what was received, and plan the ones still to buy.
Direction, occasion and month are held for every row until you change them. Type, note and reaction can be added later.
Birthdays, weddings, festivals — each one is a container for gifts and a date the diary can count down to. Name them yourself; the diary ships no calendar.
For anyone who gives and receives gifts and wants to remember them:
What it deliberately does not do: it never works out who owes whom. Given and received sit side by side with their own counts and totals; the diary does not subtract one from the other or comment on a relationship. It also ships no calendar of festivals — you name your own occasions, so it works the same in Kerala, Kraków or Kyoto.
Given or received, to or from whom, what it was and roughly when — the month is enough. Add an amount, a reaction and a note if you like. People are created as you type them; there is no list to set up first.
Quick add holds the direction, the occasion and the month, and asks only for person, gift and amount. Press Enter and the next row is ready. A wedding register of two hundred gifts takes one sitting.
Everything you gave them on the left, everything they gave you on the right, with counts and totals per direction. Gifts to a couple or a family stay on the group, so nothing is counted twice.
A fixed date, a yearly date, or a season — for festivals that move against the calendar, give a month window and pin the exact date when you know it. The diary shows what is coming up when you open it.
The planner keeps one worksheet per occasion: who you are buying for, the options you are weighing, their costs, and the reason you chose. Mark a gift as given and it enters the diary; rejected ideas never do.
Gift Diary is available on the free plan. Some features, like cloud save and sync, need an account.
Your gift records stay in your browser. Nothing is saved to our servers unless you ask. Sign in to back up online and sync across your devices.
Every record is a gift tag with a To or a From. One person's page shows both sides, side by side, never netted off.
Fixed dates, yearly dates and seasonal windows. No shipped festival calendar, so nothing is ever wrong for your part of the world.
Received gifts carry a thanked flag. One filter shows what is still owed a note.
Options, costs, a budget and the reason you chose — kept apart from the diary until a gift is actually given.
Attach a link to a photo you already keep online. The diary stores the link, not the picture.
Install it or just use it. After the first load, writing up a gift does not need a connection.

Every gift and every plan entry moves to the person you pick, and this name is removed.
