Happy Santa is published by Dovi Industries (Doviapp). Last updated August 17, 2026.
Happy Santa is a tool for parents. You (the parent) create the account and enter everything. Children do not have accounts; they use Kids Mode on your device, inside your session.
For each child you add, we store what you type: a first name or nickname, an optional age, optional interests, an avatar color and emoji, the “Santa's mood” number you set (1 to 10) and its history, the behavior notes you write, badges earned, and the wishlist items your child adds in Kids Mode (title and an optional photo of the wished item).
We store this so the app works for your family. It is private to the parents in your family by default. We do not sell it, we do not show ads, and we do not use it to track anyone across other apps or websites.
You can choose to share a Santa Card for a child. A Santa Card is a private link. Anyone who has the link can open it without logging in, so only send it to family you trust.
A Santa Card shows Santa's mood and the child's wishlist (with photos, and the child's age and interests if you entered them), plus a short note if you choose to write one. Behavior notes are never shown on a Santa Card.
A relative can tap "I'm getting this one" on a wishlist item and type a name (for example, "Aunt Kate"). That name is shown to you and to other people holding the same link, never to the child.
You can stop sharing or create a new link at any time in Santa's List. The old link stops working immediately. We count how many times a card is opened so your child can see that family is watching, but we do not record who opened it.
If you add a Santa Card to our sister app, Holiday Family Gift Exchange, that app fetches the same card using the same link and shows it to the family buying for that child.
We store your email address and password (hashed) to sign you in, and the family name and parent PIN (hashed) you choose. Wishlist photos are stored on our hosting provider (Base44).
The weekly report emails a summary of a child's mood and notes to your own email address only, when you tap the button.
Crash and performance reports are part of the platform this app is built on. They can include a device identifier, device model, system version and which screen was open. They are not tied to your name or email.
Happy Santa is a family game and organizer, not parenting advice, and not a substitute for talking with your kids. You are responsible for what you enter and who you share Santa Cards with. Please keep it kind: the app is built to encourage, not to shame.
The app is free to use. The free plan includes one child on your dashboard.
Santa Pro, $4.99 a year. Unlimited children on your dashboard. New subscribers pay an introductory $2.99 for the first year.
Family Pass, $7.99 a year. Everything in Santa Pro, and it also unlocks our sister app Holiday Family Gift Exchange for the same account email while it is active. New subscribers pay an introductory $4.99 for the first year.
Both plans are auto-renewing annual subscriptions. Payment is charged to your store account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically for another year unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the current year ends. Your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. An introductory price applies to the first year only. After that first year the subscription renews at the standard yearly price shown above, which is higher than the introductory price.
How to cancel. You can cancel at any time, and cancelling stops the next renewal; the plan stays active until the end of the year you already paid for. On iPhone or iPad: open the Settings app, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, choose this app, then Cancel Subscription. On Android: open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile picture, tap Payments & subscriptions, tap Subscriptions, choose this app, then Cancel subscription. You can also reach both of those screens from Settings inside this app.
Refunds are handled by the store that billed you, Apple or Google, under that store's own policy. We cannot issue store refunds ourselves, but write to us and we will help.
Prices are in US dollars and may differ in your country; the price you are charged is always the one shown on the purchase screen before you confirm. We may change prices for future renewal periods, and the store will tell you before that happens.
We grant you a personal, non-transferable licence to use this app. Do not misuse it, break it, or use it to harm anyone. The app is provided as it is, without a guarantee that it will always be available or error free.
In the app: open Settings, tap Delete account, and confirm. This deletes your account right away.
If you are the only parent in your family, every child, wishlist, photo, behavior note, badge and Santa Card is deleted with it. If another parent is in the family, they keep the family data and only your login is removed. Deletion cannot be undone.
Without app access: email doviapp.app@gmail.com from the address on your account and ask us to delete it. We do it within a few days and confirm by email.
