Quick answers

How do I add a gift link?

Scan its QR code, paste a web link, choose a screenshot containing a QR code, or share a link to GiveStash from another app.

Where does GiveStash save it?

You choose: add a labeled URL to an existing contact, review a new contact, create a reminder only, or keep a recent local draft.

Does GiveStash move money?

No. GiveStash never handles money, account access, contributions, or investments. It only helps you organize web links and reminders.

Is an account required?

No. GiveStash has no sign-in, cloud account, advertising, analytics, or tracking.

How long are recent drafts kept?

GiveStash keeps up to 10 recent drafts locally. Drafts older than 30 days are removed automatically.

How do I remove my data?

Clear recent drafts in GiveStash’s Privacy & Settings screen. Edit Contacts or Calendar entries in those apps. Uninstalling removes GiveStash’s remaining local data.

Troubleshooting

The camera will not scan a QR code

  1. Allow Camera access for GiveStash in your device settings.
  2. Use bright, even light and hold the full QR code inside the frame.
  3. Move slightly closer or farther away until the code is sharp.
  4. If scanning still fails, use “Choose a photo” or “Paste a link.”

A screenshot does not produce a link

Confirm the image contains a complete, readable QR code and that Photos access is allowed. GiveStash accepts QR codes containing an http:// or https:// web link.

I cannot save to Contacts or Calendar

Open your device settings and confirm GiveStash has access to the feature you selected. GiveStash always opens the native contact or calendar interface so you can review the change before saving.

I cleared a draft, but the contact or reminder remains

Clearing GiveStash’s recent drafts does not change your Contacts or Calendar. Open the corresponding system app to edit or remove the saved item.
