A wishlist that won’t spoil the surprise

Guests open the list from a link and nobody doubles up. You find out what you’re getting on the big day.

Annie: ok so i’m getting maddie those headphones6:02 PM

Jake: wait. i literally already bought them 💀6:03 PM

Kate: can we just ask her what she wants??6:03 PM

Leo: and ruin the surprise? no 🙄6:04 PM

wishu:

Relax, that’s what wishu is for.

It’s a list behind a link, not another chat. Maddie makes it in the app and sends it your way. You see what’s been claimed. She doesn’t.

wishu:

Maddie doesn’t know what she’s getting. That’s the whole point.

Every gift on her list looks the same, so she can’t tell which ones are claimed. Only her guests see who’s getting what.

How it’ll work

1.Build your list in the app: paste a link from any store or add things by hand.

2.Drop the link in the group chat. Guests don’t need an app or an account.

3.Your friends sort it out. Who’s getting what stays between them.6:06 PM

What we’re building

Here’s what goes into the first version.

wishu 1.0in progress
  • Multiple lists

    One for your birthday, one for the holidays, and one just because.

  • Follow your friends

    Follow their lists so every wishlist is close at hand, and get a heads-up before their big day.

  • Who sees your list

    Anyone who visits your profile, only people with the link, or just you. Change it anytime.

  • Stories and QR code

    Post your list to your story as an image with the link, or put a QR code on the invitation.

  • Anti-wishlist

    What not to get you. Guests see it right next to your list.

Later: Lumi, an AI helper that suggests gifts to match a friend’s taste. And group gifts: guests can suggest their own idea and chip in together, and the list’s owner won’t see a thing.

Common questions

When does wishu launch?

No exact date yet: we’re building the first version. Leave your email and we’ll write once, when the app is on the App Store and Google Play.

Will it work for the holidays?

Yes: make a separate holiday list, and nobody has to guess what to get you. Whether we launch before Christmas, we can’t promise yet.

Do guests need the app?

No. The list opens from a link in the browser, no sign-up. Only the person making the list needs the app.

Will I see what’s been claimed?

No. By default you see neither what’s taken nor who’s getting what. Guests see each other’s claims, so nobody buys the same thing twice.

How do I add a gift?

With a link from the store: the photo, price and description fill in. Or by hand, if there’s no link.
