What is poenskelisten?
Pønskelisten is a self-hosted web application for creating and sharing wishlists with friends and family. Users can organize wishes into categories, share lists publicly or within groups, and claim gifts anonymously so the list owner stays surprised. Authentication options include password with optional TOTP-based MFA, or single sign-on via OpenID Connect providers such as Authelia, Keycloak, Authentik, or Google. An optional MCP server lets AI assistants read wishlists on the user's behalf. The app installs as a PWA. It supports SQLite, PostgreSQL, or MySQL databases and deploys via Docker Compose, standalone binary, or Go source build. The first registered user becomes an admin who can manage invite codes and recover accounts. The interface is not yet fully adapted for small screens.
