How many sleeps until Christmas?
Christmas Countdown answers that in one glance, and then gets out of the way. No sign-in, no account, no clutter — just the days until Christmas, the hours, the minutes and the seconds, under a string of lights, with snow falling past.
A CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN WIDGET FOR YOUR HOME SCREEN
Two transparent widgets, with no background and nothing in the way: one counting the days until Christmas, one counting the sleeps. They sit on your wallpaper and keep counting whether you open the app or not, and they are added with a single tap from Settings.
COUNT TO YOUR CHRISTMAS
Presents on the 25th? Count to Christmas Day. Presents on the Eve, as in much of Europe and Latin America? Count to the 24th instead. The app does not take a side — you choose, and everything follows.
FOUR THEMES TO CHOOSE FROM
Midnight blue, Santa red, deep forest green, or bright Snow White for anytime. Every screen, every light and every snowflake changes with it. The count itself can be set in a storybook Christmas hand or in clean modern figures.
SNOW, OR WHATEVER YOU LIKE
Turn the snow up or down, make it drift gently or blow briskly — or swap the snowflakes for falling emoji and pick your own.
LIGHTS ON THE LINE
Five styles of string lights hang across the top and twinkle slowly: classic bulbs, stars, fairy lights, baubles or candles.
CHRISTMAS MUSIC
Seven calm instrumental tracks, with a volume of their own so they sit behind whatever else you are doing. The music keeps playing when you leave the app, with proper controls in your notification shade, and it never starts on its own.
A DAILY REMINDER, IF YOU WANT ONE
One gentle nudge a day at a time you choose, telling you how many days are left until Christmas. And at the stroke of midnight on the big day, one last
message: Merry Christmas!
SHARE THE COUNT
One tap turns the screen into an image you can send to anybody — a Christmas countdown for the family group chat.
A COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS 2026 — AND EVERY CHRISTMAS AFTER
When the day passes, the countdown to Christmas starts again by itself, on to Christmas 2027. Nothing to reset, nothing to buy again.
BUILT TO BE SMALL AND QUIET
No account. No sign-in. No server. Your settings live on your phone and are deleted when you uninstall. The app is free, and ads pay for it.
