Little Bird Free on iPhone

A private gift ideas app for iPhone

Every gift hint they drop, kept for the day it matters.

“I’d love one of those.” “Mine just broke.” People tell you what they want all year. Little Bird keeps it, and brings it back two weeks before their day.

How it works

A gift idea tracker that remembers for you.

The best gifts are things people told you months ago. The trick is catching them, and having them in front of you at the right time.

First

Hear it, save it

Three seconds from “I’d love that” to saved — with what they said, word for word. Paste a link and the name, photo and price fill in.

Then

Know them by heart

Each person keeps their hints, sizes, favorites and the things that are “not for them.” Their birthday and the age they’re turning sit right on top.

When it counts

Ready before their day

A nudge arrives with time to order, wrap and ship.

Holiday planner

A Christmas gift list with a budget that’s actually right.

Pick who you’re buying for and set a budget. Each gift moves from Idea to Bought, Wrapped and Given — and spent and left update as you go.

Gift history

Never give the same gift twice.

Everything you give is kept by year, with what it was for and what it cost. Next December starts with last December in front of you.

Questions

Good to know

Is Little Bird free?

Yes. It’s free for up to four people and one gifting season, with unlimited hints and reminders. Plus unlocks everyone, every season, Idea Spark and export for $14.99 a year after a 14-day free trial, or $29.99 once.

Do the people I add know?

No. Nothing is shared or sent. It’s your private notebook, on your iPhone.

Can I import birthdays?

Yes, from Contacts. Only the people you choose are saved.

Does it work with Amazon, Etsy and Instagram?

Share any product page to Little Bird from the Share Sheet. It fills in the name, picture and price.

Why not just use the Notes app?

Notes doesn’t know anyone’s birthday, what you already bought, what you gave last year, or how much you’ve spent. Little Bird does — and reminds you two weeks before.
