Wunschzettel.io is a free app to create, manage, and share wishlists – for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, baby showers, and any other occasion. The app automatically recognizes products via link, prevents duplicate gifts with an anonymous reservation system, and synchronizes everything in real time across all devices.
Yes, Wunschzettel.io is completely free to use – no hidden costs, no subscriptions, and no annoying ads.
No. You can start immediately and create a wishlist without creating an account. However, for advanced features like managing multiple lists or Vanity URLs, we recommend a free registration.
Wunschzettel.io works everywhere: as a website in your browser, as an installable desktop app (PWA), as a native Android app in the Google Play Store, and as an iOS app in the Apple App Store.
The interface is currently fully available in German and English. The language is automatically detected based on your device settings, but can also be switched manually.
You need an internet connection to create and synchronize your wishlists. However, you can still view already loaded lists offline.
Creating & Managing Wishlists
Simply tap on "Create new list", give your list a name (e.g. "My 30th Birthday"), and optionally choose an occasion. You can then immediately add wishes.
Yes, you can create as many lists as you want – e.g. one for Christmas, one for your birthday, and one for baby essentials.
Yes, you can sort your wishes via drag-and-drop or order them by priority, price, or date added.
Yes, the title, image, price, link, and comment of a wish can be edited at any time.
Yes, you can delete any wish at any time. But note: Since you as the list creator cannot see if a wish is reserved, a guest might have already planned to get this gift.
Yes, you can also enter free text wishes like "Voucher for a dinner" or "Self-painted picture" – without any product link.
No, you can add as many wishes as you like.
The Magic Link Import
Simply paste a product link (e.g. from Amazon, Target, Walmart, ASOS, or any other online shop). Our system automatically detects the product image, title, and – if available – the current price.
In rare cases, a shop might block the automatic import. In this case, you can simply enter the title, image, and price manually or upload your own photo.
Yes, using the integrated Smart Search you can find products via text search. The results come directly from online shops and can be added to your list with a single click.
Sharing & Guests
Tap on "Share list" and send the generated link via WhatsApp, email, SMS, Instagram, Telegram, or any other messenger. You can also simply copy the link and share it manually.
No. Guests can open your wishlist via the shared link and reserve wishes – entirely without registration or app download.
Yes, the shared list is optimized for all devices – smartphone, tablet, and desktop.
Your list is accessible via the direct link. You can configure in your list's settings whether it should appear in the search. Additionally, you can set a password for your list, so only people with the password can access it.
Yes, you can deactivate the link at any time or generate a new link, which invalidates the old one.
Yes! Instead of a cryptic link, you can secure a Vanity URL – e.g. `wunschzettel.io/en/marys-wedding` or `wunschzettel.io/en/dads-60th`. This makes sharing more personal and memorable. You need a free account for this feature.
The Reservation System (Anti-Duplicate Gifts)
When a guest opens your wishlist, they can anonymously reserve wishes. Other guests immediately see that this wish is already "taken" – reliably preventing duplicate gifts.
By default, yes – you can see which wishes have been reserved as the list creator. If you'd like to be surprised yourself, you can manually enable "Surprise Mode" in the list settings. Once active, you won't see whether or by whom a wish was reserved – you can turn it off again anytime via the settings icon.
Guests see that a wish is reserved, but not by whom. This way, every guest knows which wishes are still "available" without identities being revealed.
Yes, guests can cancel their reservation at any time as long as they haven't bought the gift yet.
If you wish for e.g. "6 bottles of wine" or "3 books by author X", guests can flexibly reserve partial quantities – e.g. "I'll get 2 bottles". This way, multiple guests can share a wish.
No, guests can reserve wishes without creating an account.
Collaboration & Co-Admins
With the Co-Admin feature, you can invite other people to manage your wishlist together – e.g. your partner for the wedding list or your siblings for the parents' gift list.
Generate a "Magic Link" with one click and send it to the desired person. As soon as they open the link, they have full access to the list.
Co-Admins have full editing rights: They can add new wishes, edit or delete existing wishes, and visually customize the list.
Yes, you can remove a Co-Admin from the list at any time.
No, you can add as many Co-Admins to a list as you want.
Priorities & Personalization
Tap the star icon next to a wish to mark it as a priority / must-have. Prioritized wishes are highlighted in gold on the public page and visually brought into focus.
Yes, prioritized wishes are highlighted in gold on the shared list, so guests can see at a glance what is closest to your heart.
Yes, you can leave a comment for every wish – e.g. "Size M", "In blue please", or "Alternatively, the newer model".
Yes, besides the automatically imported product image, you can also upload your own photos – ideal for homemade wishes, experience gifts, or products without an online link.
Occasions: Birthday
Yes, parents especially use Wunschzettel.io to clearly collect their children's gift wishes and share them with grandparents, godparents, and relatives. This way, no one has to ask "What does the child want?" – and duplicate gifts are a thing of the past.
You can edit an existing list, remove old wishes, and add new ones. Alternatively, simply create a fresh list every year.
Occasions: Christmas
Absolutely – that's exactly what the app is made for. Create your Christmas wishlist and share it with the whole family. Thanks to the reservation system, everyone knows what is still "available" without spoiling the surprise.
Wunschzettel.io is perfect for Secret Santa groups: Each participant creates their own wishlist and shares it with the group. This gives every Secret Santa inspiration, and the budget limit can be noted in the list description.
Occasions: Wedding
Yes! Create a joint wedding list, invite your partner as a Co-Admin, and share the list with your guests via an elegant Vanity URL (e.g. `wunschzettel.io/en/anna-and-tom`).
You can add a wish titled "Contribution to the honeymoon" or "Cash gift" and include your bank details or a PayPal link in the description. The app itself does not process payments.
Occasions: Baby & Essentials
Perfectly so. Expectant parents can collect wishes for the initial equipment – from strollers to baby clothes to diapers. Since prices are often higher, the reservation system helps especially well for relatives to coordinate.
Yes, use the Co-Admin feature: One parent creates the list, the other is invited via Magic Link as a Co-Admin.
Occasions: School Enrollment & Confirmation / Communion
Of course. Wunschzettel.io is not limited to specific occasions – you can create a suitable list for any occasion and share it with the right people.
