Gift cards are money. They get treated like clutter.
Store cards in a junk drawer, e-gift codes buried in email, a Visa prepaid with $11-something left on it — nobody knows exactly. Phone wallets will show a barcode at the register, but they can't tell you the balance, the PIN, or that the card quietly expires next month.
Squirreld is a dedicated gift card tracker: one place for every card, every balance, and every date — for your whole household.
Three steps, then it runs itself
-
1Add the cardRetailer, card number, PIN, current balance, and the expiration date if there is one. Physical card, e-gift code from your inbox, or prepaid Visa — they all go in the same stash.
-
2Spend, then update the balanceAfter a partial spend, update what's left. The running balance means no more guessing at the register and no more sketchy balance-check sites for prepaid cards.
-
3Let the reminders watch the datesSquirreld emails you before a card expires — 30 days out, or on the schedule you choose — so the value gets spent instead of surrendered.
Every kind of card, one stash
If it holds value, it has a home here:
And because Squirreld is built for families, the stash is shareable — whoever's doing the errand has the card, the PIN, and the exact balance in their pocket. Your data is encrypted, and it isn't the product.
Common questions
-
Is the Squirreld gift card tracker free?Yes — Squirreld is free to start. Add your cards, track balances, and turn on expiration reminders without paying anything. See the pricing page for what the premium tier adds.
-
How is this different from Apple Wallet or Google Wallet?Phone wallets store the barcode for checkout, but they don't track what's left after a partial spend, hold the PIN, or warn you before a card expires. Squirreld is the ledger: the running balance, the PIN, the expiration date, and a reminder before value dies.
-
Does it work for Visa and Mastercard prepaid cards?Yes — prepaid cards are where a tracker earns its keep. Log the starting balance, update it after each spend, and you always know the exact amount left without typing the 16-digit number into a balance-check site.
-
Can my spouse see our gift cards too?Yes. Squirreld is built for households — share your stash so whoever is standing at the register can pull up the card, the PIN, and the exact balance.
