Kiri
Send and receive gifts without sharing your address. Recipients claim by email or text; the platform handles the handoff.
Why I built it
Sending a gift to someone whose address you don't have (a coworker, a creator, an internet friend) is awkward. Asking for an address is more awkward.
Process
- Built around a claim flow: sender pays, recipient claims with a one-time link, address goes only to the fulfillment partner.
- Anonymous-by-default. Reveal yourself if you want.
Screens
Send flowPick a gift, send to email or phone.
Claim screenOne-time link, no account required.
Lessons
- Privacy is a UX, not a checkbox.
- Gifting is a marketing channel disguised as a product.
