Gift Idea Bank
A private gift idea bank in one HTML file on your machine: no account, no cloud, no server to talk to.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real tool, running right here: go on, put something in it.
Forged into a knife, this tool ages with use: the blades you reach for wear soft, entries you tend keep their bloom, and the years travel with the file through every reforge.
In July your sister mentions, in passing, the exact thing she wants — and by December it is gone from every mind involved. The Gift Idea Bank is where those moments go to survive: who it is for, the idea, the occasion, and a tick once it is bought. Come the season, you shop from a list instead of a panic.

Standing facts
- One HTML file. Opens in any modern browser, on any operating system.
- No account. No login, no sign-up, no e-mail wall.
- No cloud. Nothing leaves your browser: no server, no telemetry, no analytics.
- Yours forever. The file keeps working whether or not Offline.Ltd does.
- Ages with use. Entries you tend keep their bloom; the years travel with the file through every reforge.
In ten years
Whatever you put in (For whom, Gift idea, Occasion and Bought) stays inside the file itself. There is no account to lapse, no plan to be sunset, no migration e-mail with a deadline in it. A decade of gift idea bank entries is a decade of your own handwriting, kept in a document you can back up like any other.
If Offline.Ltd closes tomorrow, nothing on your machine notices. That isn't a marketing promise; it's simply what a file is.
Getting your data out
Export to CSV from inside the tool and open it in anything: a spreadsheet, another app, a text editor. Or keep the HTML file: it is plain, readable, and inspectable; you can open it in a text editor and see your own rows sitting there. No export queue, no "we'll e-mail you a link within 48 hours", no format that only one vendor can read.
Copy the file to a USB stick, a NAS, a folder your devices already sync. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, online or off, because a browser is the only thing it ever needed.
Questions people ask
How do I keep track of gift ideas throughout the year?
The moment someone hints at something, add a row: the person, the idea, the occasion it suits. When their birthday arrives, your past self has already done the hard thinking.
Can the person I'm shopping for see my gift list?
Not unless you hand them your computer. The list lives offline in your browser, in one HTML file, with no account and no cloud — nothing leaves the page, so the surprise is structurally guaranteed.
What does the Bought checkbox do?
It marks an idea as handled, so you can see at a glance what is still open before an occasion. It has saved more than one person from buying the same scarf twice.
