Five-second capture
Long-press a message, photo, or Pinterest pin → Save to LuvOnes → contact picker. Done before the kettle boils.
For the giver. Year-round. iOS + Android.
Never forget what they want.
Never repeat a gift.
Never panic-buy in December.
The Notes app forgets. Apple Reminders is empty. Spreadsheets get buried. LuvOnes is the one place to capture what people want, when they mention it, and remember three weeks before you need to buy.
Free for 3 people. Premium $6.99/mo or $39.99/yr. Cancel anytime.
How it works
Capture what they want, when they mention it.
Built for the giver. Born for the rest of us who write it down once and never see it again.
Per-person idea log
Everything you've thought of for them, in one place. Not buried in Notes. Not lost in a group chat.
Three-week prep reminders
3 weeks before. 1 week before. 2 days before. The cadence that ends December panic-buying.
A given-log, so you never repeat
Last year you gave Mom the throw. The year before, the cookbook. We'll never let you give the throw again.
Year-over-year history
A quiet receipt of thoughtfulness, season after season. Premium only — your memory becomes a moat.
Private by design
We never log gift titles, names, or photos to analytics. Event names only. Privacy is the wedge here.
Honest comparison
We respect the apps you're already using. Here's where each one fits.
Hip.app
Great at the one thing — birthday reminders.
If all you need is to be told a birthday is coming, Hip is the right call. It's free and it's excellent. We don't try to replace it.
Giftster / Elfster
The shared-family-wishlist tool.
Different problem. They solve 'what does the family want for Christmas.' LuvOnes solves 'what did she mention in March.'
Apple Notes
You're a hero if it works for you.
The Notes app is genuinely usable if you're disciplined. LuvOnes is for the 95% of us who write it down once and never see it again.
Etsy gift trackers
Validates the format. Buy one anyway.
A pretty Google Sheets template is a real thing. We link to our favorite sellers in our blog. They're upstream funnel, not competitors.
“Capture what they want, when they mention it.”

FAQ
Things people actually ask.
Is my gift data private?+
Yes. We never log gift titles, names, photos, or descriptions to analytics. Event names only (idea_captured, reminder_fired). We do not sell or share your data. Ever.
Is there an Android version?+
Yes — LuvOnes ships on iOS and Android day one. The Android share-intent receiver works the same way as the iOS Share Sheet.
What about the Apple Watch / widget / Siri Shortcuts?+
Coming in v1.1. We deliberately shipped narrow at v1 so we could ship at all.
How is this different from Apple Notes?+
We're the discipline tax. Notes only helps if you remember to open it. LuvOnes pushes you three weeks before each birthday — and stores a given-log so you never repeat.
Can my partner and I share a vault?+
Apple Family Sharing covers your premium subscription for up to 5 family members. Each person has their own private vault — no shared editing yet (we intentionally don't do social features).
What happens if I cancel?+
Your data stays. You drop back to the free tier — 3 people, no Share Sheet, no photos. Re-subscribe any time and everything's exactly where you left it.
