Help & contact

How can we help?

When do reminders arrive?

Two weeks, one week and three days before each date (you can change this per date). They come by email, and as a phone notification if you turn that on under Me → Phone reminders.

Phone reminders aren’t showing up

Open Me → Phone reminders and tap Send me a test. If nothing pops up, check your iPhone’s Settings → Apps → Hintwell → Notifications and make sure Allow Notifications is on.

How do I sign in?

Type your email and we send you a 6-digit code. No password to remember.

Where do the gift links go?

To Amazon. Hintwell is an Amazon Associate, so we may earn a small commission when you buy through a link. It never changes your price, and Amazon doesn’t tell us who you are.

Who can see my people and ideas?

Your people, hints, budgets, and gift ideas stay on your account. A circle sees the dates you choose to share, and members’ names. “What I like” (taste, sizes, about-me, wishlist, and loved or not-for-me gift names) is shared only while that switch is on — it starts off. A circle’s owner can turn on a leaderboard of names and points. See our privacy promise.

How do I get a copy of my data?

Open Me and tap Download my data. For a privacy request, email hello@hintwell.app. The form below works too.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Me, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete my account. Everything is removed right away.
