The WishPort iOS app: save wishes from your iPhone, anywhere

Most of the things you want these days, you see on your phone. A friend texts you a link. You scroll past a perfect jacket in Instagram. A reel shows you the exact lamp you've been picturing. And then what? You screenshot it, promise yourself you'll deal with it later, and never do.

The WishPort iOS app fixes that gap. One tap from any app, and a product lands on your wishlist — name, price, image, and a link back to the source, ready to share, reserve, or come back to when the sale hits.

Here's what's in the app and how it plugs into the rest of WishPort.

What the iOS app does

Save from anywhere

Every app on iOS has a share sheet. Open a product in Safari, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, a messenger, or the retailer's own app — tap share, pick WishPort, and the item gets pulled in. We grab the title, the price, the image, and the URL automatically. You pick which wishlist to drop it on, and that's it.

No copy-pasting, no hunting for the right screenshot, no "I'll add it tonight and forget by 11pm."

Sync across devices

The iOS app, the web app at wishport.net, and the browser extension all talk to the same account. Save a wish on your phone during lunch, and it's already on your laptop when you get home. Edit a wishlist on the web, and the changes show up in the app before you unlock your phone. No manual refresh, no waiting, no duplicate lists.

Your lists, your friends, your followers, your reservations — same data, everywhere.

Reserve gifts privately

When a friend shares their wishlist with you, you can tap any wish and mark it as "I'm bringing this." Your friend never sees who reserved what, so the surprise stays intact. Other gift-givers see that the item is already claimed and pick something else, so nobody ends up with three copies of the same book.

This is the feature most people don't know they need until they've been on the duplicate-gift end of a group chat.

Price-drop alerts

Tag a wish with price tracking and the app watches the source page for you. When the price drops, you get a push notification. Tap it, the app opens to that wish, you buy it at the lower price. No spreadsheets, no daily checking, no "wait, was it cheaper last week?"

This works especially well for big-ticket items — electronics, furniture, limited drops — where waiting a few weeks can mean a real discount.

Multiple wishlists

One big list of 200 items isn't useful to anyone, least of all the people trying to buy you a gift. The app lets you split wishes into focused lists: birthday, holidays, house renovation, "treat yourself." Share only the list that's relevant. Move wishes between lists as plans change.

Share in one tap

From any wishlist, tap share and pick how. Send a link via messages. Post to stories. AirDrop to someone next to you. The recipient doesn't need the WishPort app — the link opens in their browser and shows a clean, readable wishlist.

How it works with the rest of WishPort

The iOS app isn't a standalone tool. It's one of three ways to use WishPort — the browser extension handles desktop browsing, the web app at wishport.net handles management and sharing, and the iOS app handles everything mobile.

Most people use the combination. Save big-ticket items on the browser extension while researching on a laptop. Save impulse finds on the iPhone while scrolling in bed. Manage the full list on the web when organizing a birthday or a registry. The data stays in sync either way.

Who the app is for

If your shopping already lives in your phone — and for most people, it does — the iOS app is where WishPort starts to feel effortless. The extension is great for desktop browsing, but it doesn't help you capture the thing you found on Instagram at 11pm. The app does.

It's also the best way to get reserved gifts and price drops while you're out. Notifications land on your lock screen, so if a friend's birthday list updates or the price on something you're tracking dips, you know within seconds.

Getting the app

The WishPort iOS app is free to download and free to use. Same as the web and the extension, with no premium tier hiding the useful features behind a paywall.

Head to the iOS app page for release updates and the App Store link the moment it's live. If you're already using WishPort on the web, signing in on the iPhone instantly pulls down every list, every wish, and every reservation. Nothing to migrate.

If you haven't tried WishPort yet, create a free account and start your first wishlist. By the time the app lands on your phone, you'll have something worth saving into it.
