Unlimited hints
Free lets you keep five active hints. While there’s just one person, that’s plenty. Once there are more — a parent, a partner, a friend — you start choosing who to hint to and who can wait. With Pro there’s no choosing.
Gifts, hinted — not guessed
Hint,
Hint,
don’t guess
An app for private gift hints. You hint to someone close — and no more “what should I get you?”. The hint is the heart of it: straight to the person who’ll be giving it.
Free to use. Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription.

So how do you hint today?
How do you hint at something you like?
Send a link into the chat?
“Oh nice” — and by evening it’s under the memes.
Say it straight?
Then it’s not a gift any more, it’s an order.
Add it to a wishlist?
A list waits until someone opens it. Usually the night before.
Hintik has lists too — exactly where they really work: a housewarming, a wedding, a kid’s birthday. A shared list where you can see what’s already taken.
But when the thing is specific and the person is specific — that’s a hint.Straight to them, with the size and the colour. And they see it exactly when they need to.
One “+” button
You spot a thing — three ways not to lose it
Hint at it to someone, keep it for yourself, or write it down as an idea for another person. The choice comes right after “+”.

Sound familiar?
The closer they are, the harder to guess
You love these people the most. And every time, you get stuck on the same thing.
“What should I get you?”
“Send me that link again.”
“Remind me — what size and color again?”
“Wait, don’t you already have this?”
Hintik clears out all these conversations.
You hint — your people nail the gift. No awkward pause, no ruined surprise.
Marta spotted a mug in her favorite shop. Tapped “Share” — and hinted. Three months later, she unwrapped that exact one. Nobody ever asked, “what should I get you?”.
That’s how it works. Three steps — and the gift lands.
How it works
Hinting takes 10 seconds
No “for everyone” wishlists, no awkward conversations. Just hint.
1
Spot it, share it
Drop a link to the thing straight from your browser’s “Share” menu — Hintik pulls in the name and price for you. Or add a hint with the “+” button.
2
Hint to someone
Addressed to one specific person close to you — not a “list for everyone”. A thing with a link, or an experience: a concert, dinner, a trip for two.
3
The secret holds
Whoever’s giving privately marks it “bought”. You never see that. The surprise stays a surprise until you unwrap it.
In 10 seconds
Spot the thing —
Spot the thing —
hint
Spotted something you like in the browser? Drop the link into “Share” — Hintik opens the form and pulls in the name and price itself. All that’s left is picking who you’re hinting to.
- Thing or experience. A specific thing with a link — or an experience: a concert, dinner, a trip for two.
- Always editable. Whatever gets pulled from the link, you can fix by hand — the name, the price, anything.

The killer feature
The surprise stays
The surprise stays
a surprise
Someone’s already preparing a gift for you — and you have no idea. Whoever’s giving it keeps it quietly to themselves: you won’t see a clue, not a hint. The surprise survives all the way to the unwrapping.
- You can’t peek, even if you wanted to. That the gift is already bought — only the giver sees that. For you, there’s no trace.
- Your feed won’t give it away. The moment a hint is done, it quietly fades and disappears — no spoilers before the big day.
- Not just on trust. The giver’s secret is protected on a technical level — not by some button you could accidentally tap.

Just for you
Listen, then jot it down
Someone complimented a scarf, mentioned their shoe size or favorite color? Jot it into your secret cheat sheet — private ideas about a person that only you can see. No pressure to actually gift it — just so you don’t forget.
- Only you can see this. The cheat sheet is private — the person will never know what you’re noting down.
- Size, color, a link. The little details that are easy to forget — right there when the occasion comes.

Your hints —
Your hints —
right at hand
Everything you’re already hinting at — in one list: you can see who and what. But whether it’s already bought — you can’t see that either. The surprise stays a surprise on both sides.
- Nothing gets lost. Drop a hint — and it stays put until the occasion arrives.
- You’re in for a surprise too. Only the giver sees the status — even you don’t.

One link —
One link —
and the question is gone
Not everyone will install an app for your birthday. So your wishlist opens as an ordinary link — in any browser, no sign-up. Drop it in a chat, a story or your bio.
- Read-only. Whoever opens it sees the list and nothing else. They can't edit it, reserve anything or message you from there.
- You decide how long it lives. An hour, a day, a week, a month — or no limit. Turn it off whenever you like and the page goes dark that same second.
- Not everything on show. Individual wishes can be hidden from the link: they stay on your list, but only you see them.
New
Shared lists
A housewarming or a joint gift — one list you keep together, not each on your own.
- Show me what is already taken. You will see that something is being brought, but not by whom — unless they choose to show it. For a birthday, better left off.
- We keep it for someone else. For kids, or for a shared gift — then you can mark what is bought
- Edit anyone's items. Anyone keeping the list can change any item

Features
The little things that matter
Free to use. Pro is a one-time purchase — no subscription.
A hint that waits
Hint to someone who isn’t even on the app yet. The hint arrives the moment they join through your invite.
Events & reminders
Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and your own custom events. A “few days before” push — but only when there are actually hints for the occasion.
What is free, and what is Pro
Free: hints for things and experiences, unlimited people, your own wishlist and its public link, the 👍 reaction, “seen” and “gift arrived”, the wish lists of people in your space and marking what you’re getting.
Hintik Pro, one-time: unlimited hints, shared lists, a photo of the thing, all occasions including your own, a cheat sheet for each person, shared dates with reminders and a ping when your hint is opened, the full archive, how much you want it, profile photo and your own color, every reaction.
Hintik Pro
What you get with Pro
A one-time purchase, no subscription. Here’s everything it unlocks.
Shared lists
A housewarming, a wedding, a joint gift — a list several people keep, not one. Everyone adds wishes, everyone can send it to their own people, and you can see who added what. Only the person who created the list pays.
Налаштування доступу
Хто взагалі бачить список: усі твої люди чи лише ті, кому ти його надіслав. Чи видно тобі, що вже беруть. Чи ведете ви список для когось іншого — для дітей або на спільний подарунок. Що лишається тільки твоїм. І скільки живе публічне посилання: година, день, тиждень чи місяць — безкоштовно воно живе без обмеження.
Photo of the thing
A name and a price say what it is. A photo says which one: that shade, that shape, that label on the box. One shot, and the giver stops guessing between ten lookalikes. Tap the photo to open it full screen.
All occasions — and your own
“Birthday” and “Just because” are open to everyone. Pro adds “Anniversary”, “New Year”, “Christmas” — and your own occasions that no list has: a first date, moving in, finishing a thesis.
A cheat sheet for each person
You hear the best things not in December, but in the middle of an ordinary conversation. Jot them down right away: a size, a favorite color, a film they’ve been meaning to watch. The notes are private — only you can see them.
Shared dates
Creating your own date is free. With Pro you can offer it to the other person: they see the proposal, and if they accept, the date shows up for them too. Remembering the anniversary is no longer one person’s job.
Useful notifications
A gift bought the night before is almost never the right gift. The reminder arrives while there’s still time: a few days before the event, with the number of hints already waiting.
The full archive
A hint closes in two cases: it’s done (the gift arrived, the evening happened) or it’s no longer relevant. Both go to the archive. With Pro the whole archive stays open — you can see what you gave last year, and for what occasion.
How much you want it
Three hints in a row look equally important, even though there’s one you truly want. A 1–10 mark clears that up without a single awkward word — and the giver sees it.
Profile personalization
Set your own photo and pick one of eight colors — the one everyone you’re connected to will see you in. In a feed of ten people, you’re spotted at a glance.
Every reaction
A reaction is the only thing the giver can say out loud without giving the secret away. With 👍 alone it only reads as “seen”. With ❤️ 🔥 😍 🙌 🎁 it’s already a conversation. The private status stays sealed either way.
Peace of mind

A push for a new hint, for when someone joins, and when a hint’s no longer relevant.
Time to hint
Give what they actually want — and keep the surprise until the very end.
For partners
Selling things or experiences? Your customers are already hinting
The “Send hint” button on a product or experience page: the person who isn’t ready to buy today doesn’t disappear — they put it into Hintik and come back with whoever gives the gift. Free, one tag, no SDK.
