Only you need the app. Everyone else receives their secret match by email or SMS, with nothing to install.\n\nHow it works:\n• Create an event, set a gift budget, and add a personal message.\n• Add people from your contacts, or just type a name and an email or phone number.\n• Choose any \"must buy for\" or \"must not buy for\" pairings.\n• Tap once and everyone is secretly matched.\n• Send the assignments by email or SMS, or export a PDF to hand out.\n\nWish Lists (in-app purchase):\nLet every guest share a few gift ideas, so their Secret Santa always gets it right. No more guessing, no more unwanted gifts.\n\nGift ideas:\nEvery guest sees a couple of suggestions for the person they're buying for, matched to your budget, with a link to shop for each one online.\n\nWhy people love it:\n• No account and no sign-in. Start straight away.\n• Private by design. Your events are stored on your device and backed up to your own private iCloud. Contact details are only ever used to send the assignments, never for marketing.\n• Only the organiser installs the app. Everyone else is notified by email or SMS.\n• Send messages in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, or German.\n• Copy last year's exchange and add rules so the same pairs never repeat.\n• Great for kids' parties too: use a child's name with a parent's email, or print their invite.\n\nNot just for Christmas. Perfect for birthdays, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, office parties, and any time a group wants to swap gifts.\n\nYour privacy matters. You never have to create an account, and contact details are only ever used to send the assignments.
