Also known as Kris Kringle, draw names for your holiday Christmas parties at the office or among friends.\nIt is now easy to organize your gift exchange, create your group and wishlist.\n\nInstead of scribbling down names and popping them out of a hat, use this very advanced technology to send emails or display a live draw.\n\nIt is very easy to create a new Secret Santa group with this app.\n\nFEATURES:\n\n◆ Online Secret Santa\nSet up your Secret Santa gift exchange by creating a group, set a budget and date, add the names of friends, family and set exclusions. This app allows unlimited participants.\nSecret Santa will then draw names and let you send invitations by email, text message, WhatsApp or any other messaging service.\n\n◆ Exclude pairs\nEasily set exclusions, selected participants will not be paired together.\nThis feature ensures that partners will not gift each other. You can also prevent draws from the previous year.\n\n◆ Without registration\nThis Secret Santa app requires no registration. Only one device is necessary to organize the draw.\n\n◆ Offline Secret Santa\nThe offline mode will set up your gift exchange on the spot, directly on the screen.\nThis feature comes in handy when all attendees have already brought a gift to the event.\n\n◆ Wishlist\nEach group member can add gift suggestions on their personal wish list.\nCreating a wishlist is totally anonymous with no registration.\nBe sure to offer a gift that pleases by drawing from the guests' wish list.\n\n\n◆ Privacy first\nNone of the data you share with the app is shared with anyone else except the people involved. We do not store emails nor phone numbers, Santa hates SPAM anyway.\n\nHappy Holidays,\nTeam SecretSanta","facts":{"developer_id":1156304176,"developer_url":"https://scrtsanta.app","first_released":"2018-11-21T18:35:06Z","support_url":"https://scrtsanta.app/","privacy_url":"https://scrtsanta.app/privacy/","website_url":"https://scrtsanta.app/","app_version":"1.40","release_notes":"• Live draw: pass the phone around, and names are revealed in a random order\n• See who received and opened their invitation, and resend it in one tap\n• Send the matches by email, text message, WhatsApp, Telegram or LINE\n• Now in more than 40 languages\n• Email typo check: when an address looks mistyped, the app offers the corrected one","rating_current_version":4.83138,"rating_count_current_version":2734,"star_counts":[56,16,38,113,2504],"genres":["Lifestyle","Utilities"],"languages":["AR","CA","HR","CS","DA","NL","EN","FR","DE","EL","HE","HU","ID","IT","JA","KO","LT","MS","PL","PT","RO","RU","ZH","ES","SV","TL","TH","ZH","TR","UK","VI"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["iphone","ipad","ipod"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-03T14:42:13.192Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-10-28T13:57:13.811Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-10-28T01:24:13.191Z","placed_at":"2026-10-19T06:33:11.723Z","scored_at":"2026-11-04T04:57:12.990Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Draws random Secret Santa gift-exchange pairs for a group, with exclusions, invitations and an optional wishlist.","what_is":"Secret Santa is a name-drawing app for holiday gift exchanges, also known as Kris Kringle.
