Wunschlist – Share wish lists & Secret Santa

It's that easy

Four steps to the perfect gift list.

Get the app

No registration, no email. Pick a nickname and you're ready.

Collect wishes

Share from any shop – title, image and price are added automatically.

Share your list

With friends in the app or via link – viewable even without the app.

Reserve in secret

Reserve a wish – everyone else can see it, the birthday person can't.

New in Wunschlist

Now with Secret Santa!

Add friends. Draw names. Have fun!

Wunschlist draws names fairly for your group – and because everyone already has their wish list in the app, you instantly know what your person would love.

Create a group and invite friends – with a picture, budget and the date it ends.
Set exclusions – so couples don't draw each other. You can change them until the draw.
Draw names – secret and fair. Everyone only sees their own person, including their wish list.

Everything a wish list needs

And nothing that gets in the way.

Share from any shop

Amazon, your bookshop or your favourite store – just tap “Share” and pick Wunschlist.

Title, image & price automatically

Wunschlist takes the product name, image and price straight from the link – on iPhone with a preview right in the share sheet.

Viewable without the app

Share lists via link – grandma doesn't need the app.

Reserve in secret

No duplicate presents – and the surprise stays a surprise.

Family & friends

Find friends by nickname and see their lists any time.

Birthday reminders

A push notification before someone in your circle has a birthday.

Lists

For Christmas, birthdays or “Always welcome” – neatly organised.

Your colours

Pick your colour scheme – light, dark or colourful.

English & German

The app now speaks English too – perfect for family and friends abroad.

Reserve in secret

Tap “Reserve” on a friend's wish. Everyone else instantly sees it's taken – only the birthday person doesn't.

Your list – in any browser

Share a list via link. People without the app can still see your wishes – with image, price and a direct link to the shop.

Wunschlist vs. other wish lists

There are lots of wish list apps – but almost all of them pay for themselves with ads, tracking, subscriptions or mandatory affiliate links. Wunschlist deliberately takes a different path.

Feature	Wunschlist	Other wish lists
Cost	Completely free	Often only a basic free tier
App required	Lists viewable without the app	Often app or website only
Links	No restrictions	Often Amazon links only
Advertising	No ads	Banners & product ads
Tracking & analytics	No tracking	Standard
Affiliate links	Optional & voluntary	Often mandatory
Sign-up	No sign-up	Account required
Email address	Not needed	Required
Newsletter	No emails	Marketing emails
Anonymous use	Possible	Not intended
Hosting & privacy	Germany, GDPR-compliant	Often worldwide

Wunschlist isn't a platform – it's a tool for families.

The story

No corporation. A dad with an idea.

Hermann Rauschmayr is a magician by trade and a father of two. Every celebration was the same: the kids got things they didn't need – and the people giving presents had no idea what was wanted.

So he – a trained software developer – built his own wish list. His family and friends use exactly the same version that's in the store. That's why it stays free of ads, subscriptions, in-app purchases and tracking. Even this website doesn't set a single cookie.

Hosting still costs a little. If you like, you can share Amazon wishes as affiliate links – nothing gets more expensive for you. Completely voluntary.

What are affiliate links – and how safe is Wunschlist?

If someone buys on Amazon through an affiliate link, the project receives a small commission. The product doesn't cost more. With Wunschlist you decide for every Amazon wish whether the link is shared that way – the app works just as fully without it.

Only what you enter is stored: a nickname, a photo if you like, and your birthday for your friends' reminders. If you enter anonymous data, anonymous data is stored. Sign-in works with a randomly generated key pair that only your app knows – so only you can edit your wishes and friends. The connection is encrypted.

Frequently asked questions

Is the app really completely free?

Yes! No hidden costs, no subscription and no in-app purchases. All features – including Secret Santa – are available from the start.

Do I need to sign up?

No! You just pick a nickname so your friends can find you. Your data is stored anonymised with our German hosting provider mittwald. Only if you allow notifications is the device ID stored so we can send them to you.

How does Secret Santa work?

Create a group under “Secret Santa”, invite friends and set the date it ends. Optionally, decide who shouldn't draw whom. After the draw, everyone only sees their own person – including their wish list.

How do title, image and price get into my wish?

Share a product from the shop or paste the link – Wunschlist fills in the product name, image and price automatically. Anything you've already entered yourself stays as it is.

Is Wunschlist available in English?

Yes. The app follows your phone's language – English or German. Lists, friends and Secret Santa groups work across languages.

Is my usage tracked?

No! We don't track your behaviour or collect data about how you use Wunschlist – neither in the app nor on this website.

What are the optional affiliate links?

When you save an Amazon wish, you can choose whether the link is shared as an affiliate link. If someone buys through it, the project gets a small commission – at no extra cost to you. Completely voluntary.

Can I share lists between Android and iOS?

Yes! Lists, friends and Secret Santa groups work across platforms – iPhone or Android.

How can I give feedback or suggest features?
