Gift ideas app for iPhone
Someone mentions a book they’d love or a candle they liked, and a month later it’s gone from your head. Crumb gives you somewhere to put those little hints the moment you hear them — then reminds you just before the birthday or anniversary.
Features
01
Gift ideas come up in passing, so saving them should be just as quick. Add the people you buy for, then save each idea as a “crumb”. No forms, no fields — type the idea, link it to a person and an occasion, and get on with your day.
02
Crumb organises your ideas around the dates that matter. The Home tab groups crumbs by occasion and counts down the days. A few days before each occasion you get a single notification with your ideas ready, and occasions roll forward every year automatically.
03
Crumb stores everything on your iPhone. No accounts, no cloud syncing and no tracking — the App Store privacy label says “Data Not Collected”. Your gift ideas stay a surprise.
