About giftstring
giftstring is a quiet way to gather what matters: the voice and video of the people who love someone, woven together into a single gift. Mom's eightieth, a friend's wedding, a graduation, a goodbye — moments that ask for more than a card. With giftstring, you record a short message of your own, invite the people who matter, and email it as one beautiful, lasting gift. — Record an audio or video message in seconds. — Invite contributors by email; they each add their own. — When the gift is ready, send it. The recipient gets a private link they can play anywhere. — Your recordings are yours. Delete a message anytime before the gift ships. Cancel a gift entirely if you change your mind. giftstring is built around a simple idea: the most precious thing you can give someone is a few minutes of yourself, and the voices of the people who love them. We don't sell your data, we don't use your recordings to train anyone else's AI, and you can delete everything with one tap. Made for the moments that matter.
What’s new
Version 0.4.8 · Updated June 24, 2026
A big update. When you receive a giftstring and reply with a thank-you, your message now reaches everyone who contributed. They get an email, tap it, and hear your actual voice or see your video — your thanks, the way you said it. A few smaller things: • Replay your own thank-you whenever you want, from the gift's page. • A clearly-marked thank-you section on each gift so it doesn't get lost among the original messages. Plus a few small polish changes made with care.
