Open a time period and you'll see every item as a compact pill, grouped by category. Tap a pill to expand just that item and choose between the friends' recommendations — one tap on an option = your pick, two options = "either, first good find wins". Green pills are decided, blue are bought, 🎁 marks shower-wishlist items. Bought it ✓ records what you paid or who lent it. Every tap saves automatically to your shared Google Sheet, and the Sheet's report tabs rebuild themselves in the background — Open Sheet always shows the current picture. ↻ Sync pulls in each other's changes.
