Never lose a gift idea again

Give the gift they told you they wanted. When someone mentions what they'd love, tell Hints in a messy sentence or share a link. Apple Intelligence files it under that person, and Hints reminds you two weeks before their birthday. No account; we never see it.

Hi, I'm Laslo, the maker.
I built Hints because my gift ideas note for my girlfriend got too big. Every "I'd love that" went into it, and it turned into one long, messy list with no structure: who said what, when, and for which occasion was all mixed together. The best gift idea is the one they already told you, so I wanted a place that keeps it in order.
You tell Hints one sentence, even a messy one, like “Ran into Mark at the market. He needs a cast iron pan. His birthday is June 21.”. Hints picks out who, what and when, files it under Mark, and it’s there when the occasion comes. You check every hint before it’s saved.
The part I’m proudest of: you watch it read. Each word it picks out lifts out of your sentence like a pressed key and flies into its place: the person, the gift, the date.
What it is not: it never invents gift ideas, and it doesn't track prices. It only remembers what people actually said.
Privacy: Apple Intelligence reads it. We never see it. No account.
How it’s built: I’m an iOS developer. I used AI coding tools to build faster, not to skip the engineering, so Hints isn’t vibe-coded. Features start as written specs, every change has to pass the tests, and changes to how notes are read also have to pass an extraction eval.
Requires Apple Intelligence: iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max, 16 or later. It starts with a 14-day free trial. Type it, dictate it, ask Siri, or share a link or a screenshot. On other iPhones or with Apple Intelligence disabled you can still add hints by hand.

I'm here all day. How do you keep track of what people tell you?
If you try it, an honest App Store rating helps a solo developer more than anything!
