Make a wish.

The European wishlist app for families and friends. Share lists, let people reserve gifts in private, keep the surprise intact. No ads, no trackers, no catch.

Built for coordinating gifts, not chasing them.

The small details that make wishlists feel effortless — for the person making one, and for everyone they share it with.

Built for coordinating gifts, not chasing them.

Private by default. Shared by you.

Pick who sees each list. Friends can browse without signing up. Nothing leaks, nothing tracks, nothing is sold.

  • Per-list visibility: Private, followers, or public link — change it any time.
  • No account to view: Send a link. They open it. Done.
  • Anonymous-first: Use the whole app without an email if you want to.

Reserve in private. Surprise survives.

When a friend marks a wish as reserved, the list owner sees nothing. Everyone else sees what's still available — live.

  • Spoiler-safe: Reservations hide from the wishlist owner, not from the group.
  • Live availability: No more two-people-same-gift moments.
  • Group lists: Co-own a wedding, baby or housewarming list with your partner.

Year-round, not just December.

Birthdays, weddings, baby showers, Christmas, Reyes Magos, housewarming, just-because. One app, every occasion.

  • Many lists, one place: Keep your wedding, your kid's birthday and your own wish list apart.
  • Built for groups: Run a Secret Santa, Amigo Invisible or family gift exchange from your phone.
  • No holiday lock-in: We don't make you talk to a cartoon elf in May.

Three steps. That's the app.

No accounts to chase, no tutorials, no setup wizard.

  1. 1

    Add a wish

    Paste a link, snap a photo, or jot a note. We pull the title, price and image automatically.

  2. 2

    Share a list

    Send one link to a friend, a partner, the family group chat. They open it — no signup, no app required.

  3. 3

    Let them reserve

    Friends mark wishes as reserved or purchased. You stay surprised. Nobody buys the same thing twice.

How it works

Why melchvr is different.

Most wishlist apps are quiet ad networks with a list maker bolted on. We're the opposite.

Privacy is not a feature. It's the foundation.

No ads. No trackers. No data sales. Built in the EU under GDPR. Revenue comes from optional affiliate links on the blog — clearly labelled, never on your wishlists.

Por fin una app de listas en español que no parece traducida. El amigo invisible familiar se ha vuelto fácil.

Notre liste de mariage est sur trois magasins. melchvr met tout au même endroit et nos invités s'en servent vraiment.

Kids drop hints all year. I jot them in melchvr the second I hear one. Birthday shopping now takes five minutes.

Questions, answered straight.

Still curious? Reach out — we read every message.

Is melchvr really free?

Yes. Creating wishlists, sharing them and reserving wishes are free forever. We don't run ads, don't sell data, and won't hide core features behind a paywall.

Then how do you make money?

Affiliate links on our blog. When you click out to a retailer and buy something, the retailer pays us a small commission. The retailer never sees who you are. We never see what you bought. No affiliate links live on your wishlists.

Do my friends need an account to view my wishlist?

No. Send a link, they open it. They can reserve a wish straight from the browser. Signing up is optional — only useful if they want a list of their own.

Where is my data stored?

In the European Union, on Supabase infrastructure under GDPR. We don't replicate it outside the EU and we don't share it with ad partners (we don't have any).

Do you use my wishlist data to train AI?

No. Your wishlist data is never used for training models, ad targeting, or anything other than running the app for you.

How are duplicate gifts prevented?

When a friend reserves a wish, you can't see it but everyone else can. The surprise stays, the duplicates don't.

Which platforms do you support?

iOS and Android. There's also a lightweight web view so anyone can open a shared list in their browser without installing anything.
