About this app

Set up your group's Secret Santa in minutes: you create the draw, invite people with a link or QR code, and everyone gets their own match on their own phone. Anyone who gets the invite joins straight from the link, with no account needed.

Two ways to draw names

1. Draw without an account
For groups that are together in the same room or already talk on another app. You type the names and choose between:
- In person: the phone is passed around and each person taps the screen to see only their own result.
- Remote: the app generates a key for each participant. You send the key by message and that person checks their own result in the app.
This mode needs no account, works without internet, and the draw history is kept on the device.

2. Online draw
Each participant joins the group from their own phone and gets the result there. You can join straight from the invite link, with no account, and create one later if you want. With an account, made with email and password, with Google sign-in or with Apple sign-in, the draw stays with you even if you change phones.

What the online draw includes
- Invite participants by link, by group code or by QR code.
- Event date and time and suggested gift budget, visible to the whole group.
- Restrictions: you can prevent specific people from drawing each other, such as couples or people who matched last year.
- A draw that never lets anyone get their own name.
- Push notifications when the draw is done and when new messages arrive.
- Private reveal: the result is shown only to the person signed in with that account.
- If someone drops out at the last minute, whoever created the draw can redo it once, and everyone is notified.

People without a phone can join too
You can add up to 5 people to your own account, such as a small child or someone who will not install any app. You see their reveal, look after their wishlist and answer the chat for them.

Group chat and anonymous chat
The app has two conversations. In the group chat everyone agrees on the date, the budget and the place, and you can create polls to settle things without thirty messages. In the anonymous chat you talk directly to the person you drew without revealing who you are, so you can ask about tastes, clothing sizes and gift ideas without spoiling the surprise. The person receiving the message can reply without finding out your identity either.

Wishlists and preferences
Everyone writes down what they like, what they would rather not receive, and builds their own wishlist. Whoever drew that person sees all of it when choosing, and can mark an item as reserved so two identical gifts do not turn up on the same day. If you have no idea what to give, the app also shows product suggestions.

After the party
Each participant posts a photo of the gift they received and the album shows who gave what to whom. Before that, anyone who wants can try to guess the whole map of the draw: the guessing scoreboard comes out with the album.

When to use it
End of year parties, Christmas gift exchanges, workplace and office swaps, school and university groups, friends and family, including groups spread across different cities.

Ads and pricing
The app is free. It shows ads, and if you prefer you can watch a short video to stay 2 hours without ads, at no cost. You can watch again to extend that time.

Languages
English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and Italian.
