Inside Family Wishlist
A wishlist for each of you.
One place to keep the book they mentioned, the right size, and the ideas that turn up in February for a birthday in June.
Everyone you invite can help with every list. When it’s time to give, family members can claim a wish without the recipient seeing the plan.
Actual app screenshots, with a fictional family and invented wishes.
Some wishes don’t have a buy button.
A second-hand book. A homemade cake. Time spent together. Add a link when you have one, or just write down the idea.
What you can do with Family WishlistA few ideas from our demo family

“The one you keep telling me about.”

Answers about hosting, sharing and keeping gifts a surprise.
Is Family Wishlist really free?
Yes. The software is free under the MIT licence, and a normal family installation is designed to fit within Cloudflare’s free plans. You can use an included workers.dev address, so buying a domain is optional. Cloudflare’s allowances apply; paid setup help from Furls is optional too.
Can I add something from any shop?
You can save an idea with any ordinary shop link, or add a wish without a link at all. The importer can suggest a name, picture and GBP price when the shop shares useful details. If a site blocks the lookup, you can fill in the wish yourself.
Will I find out what someone is buying me?
Your own wishlist never receives claim or purchase information from the server. Other family members can see who is getting a gift, so they can coordinate while your surprise stays a surprise.
Does everyone need to install an app?
No. Family members can use a web browser and sign in with an emailed one-time PIN. Android sharing uses the installed web app, iPhone and iPad sharing uses an Apple Shortcut, and desktop sharing uses a bookmark button. These are optional conveniences.
Do I have to be technical?
Everyday use is straightforward. The initial setup does involve GitHub, Cloudflare and some command-line steps. There is a detailed installation guide, or you can ask Furls for a quote to help you set it up in your own account.
Can I share a list with someone outside the family?
Yes. Create a read-only viewing link for one person’s list and send it to a friend or relative. Anyone with that link can see those wishes, but never gift claims. You can stop an individual link from working whenever you like.
Keep the next good idea.
Give your family’s wishes a place of their own.
