Pocket Wishlist

v0.3.2 · Self-hosted · MIT

Wishlists and gift ideas, with the prices watched.

Pocket Wishlist keeps what you would love and what you plan to give. Paste a link and it reads the title, picture and price, then watches the price for you. Share a list with family by link, and nobody buys the same present twice.

Lists

Every wish with its picture and price.

Each card shows the shop, the current price and how far it has dropped since you added it. Wishes at or below your target price are marked, and you see that something is reserved, never by whom.

Price watch

Know when it gets cheaper.

Every watched page is read again on your schedule, every 12 hours by default. The price history is a chart on each wish, with the target price you set as a dashed line.

  • Price drops lists everything at or below your target
  • One push per drop: target reached, a drop of your percentage, back in stock
  • Find the best deal searches shops through your SearXNG

Sharing

Share without spoiling the surprise.

Send a secret link and family can see the list without an account. They say I'll get this, see what is still free and tick off what they bought.

  • Or share with a person who has an account on the same server
  • The owner sees at most that something is taken, never by whom

Gift ideas

Ideas for everyone else.

Keep lists for other people with an occasion, a date and a budget. The bar shows how much of the budget you have spent on what you already bought.

  • Birthdays roll on to the next year by themselves
  • Birthdays and anniversaries from Pocket Contacts, with reminders

And the rest of it

  • Add from anywhere

    Paste a link, use the bookmarklet, the share sheet of the installed web app, or an iOS Shortcut. Pictures are stored on your server.

  • Bought it

    Mark a wish as bought and it can be filed in Pocket Inventory, booked in Pocket Money and split evenly in Pocket Split, retried until it works and never twice.

  • Everyone on their own

    Each person has their own lists and connections. Admins manage accounts, not what is on them.

  • Quick to use

    Keyboard shortcuts and a command palette, light and dark themes, a phone layout, JSON export and import, and an endpoint for a Homepage widget.
