What's new
Follow OpenWish as it becomes a calmer, more capable place to plan thoughtful gifts.
Plan your gifts, remember birthdays, share hints
A gift plan tracks what you promised to buy, friends' birthdays show up before they arrive, and optional gift hints help friends choose well.
- Gift plan: every gift you reserved, grouped by recipient with totals.
- Mark reserved gifts as bought; only you see it.
- Dashboard reminder for gifts still to buy and birthdays in the next 30 days.
- Optional birthday (month and day only) shared with friends.
- Optional gift hints on your wishlists, visible to friends only.
Organize many ideas at once
Wishlist owners can select several ideas and move, copy, re-prioritize, mark as most wanted, or remove them together.
- Move ideas to another of your wishlists; reservations and comments stay with them.
- Copy ideas to any of your wishlists as fresh ideas, without reservations or comments.
- Set priority for several ideas in one step.
- Mark or clear most wanted for several ideas at once.
- Remove several ideas together after a clear confirmation.
Get started, find friends, and reveal the exchange
New accounts get a friendly checklist, the Friends page suggests people you already share things with, organizers can reveal a finished gift exchange, and owners can tidy stale ideas.
- A dismissible get-started checklist guides a new dashboard through a wishlist, an idea, a friend, and an event.
- People you may know: suggestions come only from events and wishlists you already share, with a one-tap Add friend.
- After the event date, organizers can reveal who drew whom; members then see names and the draw is locked.
- Still want these? Owners can keep or remove ideas that have not changed in six months.
- Grid cards now open reservation and comments inline instead of jumping to list view.
See what you have reserved at a glance
Shopping from a friend's wishlist now shows which gifts are yours, keeps counts current as you reserve or release, and handles two people grabbing the same idea gracefully.
- Ideas you reserved are labeled "Reserved by you" in both grid and list views.
- A new "Reserved by you" count and filter bring your own picks together in one tap.
- Reserving or releasing an idea updates the badges and counts right away, without reloading.
- If someone else reserves an idea first, the idea updates to show it is taken instead of leaving you at a dead end.
- Gift buttons say what they do (Reserve gift, Your reservation, Comment on gift).
- Reservation dates use the same readable format as the rest of the app.
Keep your wishlist filters in view
Finding the right idea is clearer: OpenWish now shows exactly what is filtering a wishlist and lets you remove any choice in one tap.
- See the current result count and every active search or filter without reopening the filter panel.
- Remove a search, priority, availability, comment, price, or budget choice directly from the active-filter row.
- No-match guidance repeats your search and offers one clear action to return to all ideas.
- Long searches wrap on phones, so the recovery action stays on screen.
- Clearer reset labels distinguish the filter-panel reset from showing every idea again.
- Item controls wrap cleanly on phones so actions stay reachable on narrow screens.
