What's new

Version 1.0.3

September 3, 2026

Added

  • Reserving a gift is one tap. The sheet stays open afterwards so you can add a note, change the quantity or hide your name, and each choice saves as you make it.
  • People can be its own tab on iPhone, chosen in Preferences under Features. The bar holds five tabs, and the Features sheet says so when it is full instead of offering a sixth.
  • The Mac app gains a Me screen at the foot of the sidebar, with your profile, your sharing links and the friends you follow.
  • Occasions from lists you follow now show on the Occasions tab, in their own section below your own.
  • Thank-you drafting on the website offers the same eight tones and four lengths as the iPhone and Mac apps, and produces the same wording.
  • The walkthrough at getwishlist.app/tutorial can be read without an account.
  • Name an occasion and attach several lists to it in one pass on the website, from the Occasions screen, the way the apps already do.

Changed

  • Reservations are no longer anonymous unless you ask for it. Your name shows on the list owner's thank-you screen by default.
  • The gift status picker on the website offers the same four stages as the apps: Reserved, Purchased, Ready and Given.
  • Occasion cards in the apps show the same committed spend as the website, to the cent.
  • A friend's list, and any list opened from a share link, is drawn in that list's own colours instead of yours.
  • Marking a thank-you sent on iPhone or Mac now asks how you thanked them and who it came from, the way the website does. With no partner on the account it records your own name.
  • New List, New Occasion, Add Friend, Edit List, Add Gift, Log a Gift and Move Items are proper Mac windows with Mac forms instead of phone sheets.
  • On a phone the tab strip wraps to its own row so no tab label is cut off, and occasions are full rows with a countdown instead of a bare list.
  • Plainer wording on the occasion budget and add-person screens, fewer separators in the small print, and no repeated explanations under labels that already say it. The empty People screen draws plain silhouettes instead of rows with readable placeholder names, and Preferences on each platform now says where the settings it does not carry actually live.
  • The privacy policy now says that picking a contact also reads their postal address and birthday where you have them saved, and which of those the app keeps.
  • Following a list now follows who the list is shared with. A private list cannot be followed, and making a list private hides it again from everyone who followed it while it was visible.

Fixed

  • "You're Offline" no longer stays up after the connection comes back, and no longer covers the back button.
  • Preferences closes when you sign out, instead of hanging over the sign-in screen.
  • A swipe along the gift card row scrolls it instead of opening the card you started on.
  • Picking a contact on iPhone no longer closes the Add Friend sheet underneath it. The contacts buttons are gone from the Mac app, where the system never grants access.
  • Create and edit dialogs on the website no longer wash the whole panel in the palette colour, the app icon picker no longer shows Preferences through it, and buttons that painted transparent now show their colour.
  • Visiting your own public profile lands on your profile instead of an error message.
  • A gift reserved by somebody without an account now reaches the list owner's thank-you screen, under the address they verified, so the owner can thank them.
  • The Mac's Move Items window shows the lists you can move to, instead of a blank strip, and its display name field is no longer a black slab.
  • The product link box and the gift card box no longer go muddy on the palettes whose accent and background are different colours, a gift with no picture shows the same icon everywhere it appears, and gift cards no longer clip at the right edge of a phone screen.

Version 1.0.2

September 1, 2026

Added

  • Gift cards. A list can hold gift cards alongside wishes and stocking stuffers, in a section of their own.
  • Type a shop's name to add one. Shops the app knows arrive in their own colours and lettering, anything else gets a monogram, and you can add several in a row.
  • Reserving on the website can be shared with your partner, as it already could in the apps, and desktop web gains a read-only full view of an item from the list inspector.

Changed

  • One name per action across all three apps. Logging a received gift is "Log a gift" everywhere, and the website's tabs sit in the same order as the Mac's sidebar.
  • Ideas and Occasions are two independent switches in Mac settings, and the sidebar hides whichever you turn off.
  • One set of motion timings across the website, iPhone and Mac, and every animation honours Reduce Motion.

Fixed

  • The line above a list says who can actually see it, and every delete confirmation describes the same thing the same way.
  • A duplicate-item warning stays inside the add sheet instead of closing it behind the warning.
  • The Mac app icon takes the system's rounded shape instead of a hard square.
