A self-hosted web app for creating, sharing, and collaborating on wishlists while keeping gift surprises intact.
Pønskelisten is a self-hosted web application for creating, sharing, and collaboratively managing wishlists. It solves the problem of duplicate gifts by allowing users to anonymously claim items, so others can see what's already taken without spoiling the surprise for the wishlist owner.
Individuals, families, or friend groups who want a private, self-hosted platform to organize gift exchanges and avoid duplicate presents during holidays or special occasions.
Developers choose Pønskelisten for its privacy-focused, self-hosted approach, flexible database options, and straightforward Docker deployment, offering full control over their gift-planning data without relying on third-party services.
