Questions and answers

What does Gave cost?

Nothing. Gave is free, with no subscription and no in-app purchases. There are no ads, and Gave earns nothing from what you buy.

Which phones does Gave work on?

Gave is an app for iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or later. It's available in English and Norwegian.

Can I use Gave without an iPhone?

Yes, for your own wish list. If you have an Android phone or just a computer, create a skar.cloud account and write your wish list at My wishes in the browser. Family members with the app follow you and reserve as usual, and they see your birthday and wishes just as if you used the app. In the browser you only see your own list, not anyone else's. If you get an iPhone later, sign in to the app with the same account.

Can I see what others have bought for me?

No. You never see the status of your own wishes, in the app, in notifications, or in widgets. Only the people who follow you see what's taken. Read more about how reservations stay secret.

Who sees my wish list?

You decide. With a public profile, anyone who has your link or finds you in Gave can follow you and see your birthday and wishes. With a private profile, only followers you accept see your birthday and wishes. Others see only your name and photo. You can remove followers whenever you like.

How does my family find me?

Send your invite link from Friends in the app. Anyone who opens it follows you, or asks to if your profile is private. You can also search for people by name. Gave has no charts, no explore page, and no suggestions of who to follow.

Can I have more than one wish list?

You have one wish list, which works for both your birthday and Christmas. Whoever reserves a gift chooses the occasion it's for. Mark what you've been given as received, and it leaves the list.

Can several people give one gift together?

Yes. One person reserves the wish and adds the others. Read about group gifts.

Where is my data stored?

Gave runs on a server in Norway, and your data is stored there. Notifications go through Apple. Gave uses no analytics tools, and your data is never sold. The privacy policy is linked at the bottom of the page.

Does Gave work offline?

You can read wish lists offline. To reserve or add wishes, you need to be online.

Can I use Gave with an AI assistant?

Yes. You can connect Gave to an AI assistant and ask what someone would like, or ask it to reserve. You sign in with your skar.cloud account, and the assistant follows the same rules as the app. The support page explains how.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, in the app. Your profile and all your wishes are deleted.
