Im honestly at my wits end here because Ive been doing the whole online shopping thing since forever and I thought I had my system down but everything is breaking lately. I have my 30th birthday coming up in exactly 12 days and my family keeps bugging me for a list but my system which was basically just a bunch of open tabs and a messy Google Doc is totally failing me now. I need something that actually works across platforms because Im jumpin between my MacBook at work and my iPhone when Im on the train and nothing seems to sync right.

Ive tried a few of the big names like Giftster and Elfster but the UI feels like it hasnt been updated since 2010 and they struggle with some of the more niche hobby sites I use for my keyboard builds. Like if the site doesnt have perfect Open Graph meta tags the app just pulls a random logo instead of the actual product image and then I have to manually upload a photo which is a huge waste of time. My logic was that I could just use a browser extension to scrape the data but half these universal lists dont even have a mobile share extension that works properly.

I looked at Wishmo but I heard they have some privacy issues and I dont really want my data being sold more than it already is. Then I tried just using Amazons Assistant thing but obviously they want to push you toward their own listings even if the item is cheaper or only available on some indie boutique site. I need something that handles Amazon, Etsy, and random Shopify stores without glitching out on the price point. Budget isnt really an issue if theres a small one-time fee but I really dont want another monthly subscription just to keep track of stuff I want to buy. Does anyone know an app that actually handles the metadata well and has a decent mobile experience? Im running out of time before my parents just buy me more socks...
