Gift Stash guide — turn screenshots into birthday-ready ideas
Open app → gift-stash.try-dabble.com
What this app does
Gift Stash is for screenshots you meant to buy later that vanish in the camera roll. Paste or pick an image, tag a person, and the next 60 days of birthdays and occasions sit at the top of the list.
There is no account and no server-side stash. People and ideas stay in this browser (localStorage); photos stay in IndexedDB. Birthday reminders are not a push server — the app checks locally when you open it. If you deny notifications, upcoming dates still appear as a banner.
What to enter
- Person: name, birthday (MM-DD or a full date), notes (sizes, likes), optional face photo, extra occasions (anniversary).
- Idea: image from file/camera or Ctrl+V paste, optional title, URL, price, note. Tag a person or leave it unassigned.
- Status: idea / bought / given. Search looks at people plus idea titles and notes.
How to use it
Screenshot something you like, open Gift Stash, and paste. Pick or add a person with a birthday so they show in the upcoming strip. Double-tap a person chip (or tap it again when already selected) to edit them.
Set “remind N days before” and allow notifications. The next time you open the app, occasions inside that window can fire an on-device notification. Export/import JSON to move devices; photos go as data URLs or are skipped with a note.
When people open it
People open it before checkout to check whose birthday is soon, or the moment they see an item in a feed and want it in the stash. Same habit as the 19 Aug 2026 r/SomebodyMakeThis ask for an app that keeps gift ideas.
Marking ideas as bought or given keeps you from buying the same person the same thing twice.
FAQ
Repeating questions are about storage and whether reminders leave the device. Below is the actual scope.
Are photos and screenshots uploaded to a server?
No. Photos stay in this browser’s IndexedDB. There is no account sync or cloud backup. On a shared device, clear site data when you are done.
If I deny notifications, do dates still show?
Yes. Notifications are optional. If denied, upcoming birthdays and occasions still appear as a banner and in the upcoming strip. There is no background push server.
Is it free? Are there ads?
It is a free browser tool. Google AdSense ads may appear.
