Group gifts, on iPhone and Android

Give together. Say it together.

Send one link. Everyone chips in what they can, privately, and their name goes in the KadoBook, with a message if they want. No chasing, no separate card to pass around, and you never hold anyone's money.

The KadoPool app: starting a group gift, who it's for and the closing date Paying from the shared link on a phone, with no app or account What they receive: a KadoBook page full of messages (example)

One link instead of two chores

The money and the card, in one link.

The usual way

  • Venmo requests and reminder texts
  • You front the money, then wait to be paid back
  • A separate card to buy, pass around and get signed
  • The collector sees every amount

With KadoPool

  • One link, and KadoPool sends the reminders
  • The money never goes through you
  • Everyone who chips in is in the KadoBook
  • Amounts stay private, even from you
How it works

Three steps. No chasing.

1

Start the pool

In the app: who it's for, the occasion and the date. Then share one link.

Everyone chips in

From the link, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with no app. Their name goes in the KadoBook, and KadoPool sends the reminders.

They open their gift

In the free KadoPool app: gift cards they choose, prepaid cards (up to $999), or both, with the KadoBook of everyone's messages.

The KadoBook, free with every pool

The KadoBook

The card is built in.

No card to buy, pass around or get signed. Everyone who chips in is in the KadoBook, and the person you celebrate keeps every message, to read again and again. It comes with every pool, at no extra cost.

Want a wow moment? Add a KadoClip: your group's messages as a short video, set to music, with the photos they add in the app.

Why organizers love it

Easier for you. Kinder for everyone.

Nobody sees who gave what

Each amount stays private, even from you. Everyone gives what they can, and every name counts the same.

They choose their gift

Gift cards, prepaid cards (up to $999), or a mix of both.

Free to organize

About $1.53 on a $25 gift, card processing included. You choose whether it comes out of the gift or is added on top. See pricing →

Not sure what they'd love? Their Gift Vibe in the app tells you, from their coffee order to their dream experience.

For the people who matter

Every thank-you, goodbye and happy birthday.
