Christmas Countdown & List

How many sleeps until Christmas - and everything else you are trying to keep on top of before it arrives. The countdown, widgets, whole advent calendar, a list for three people and the first elf nights are free for good. Unlock the rest for this Christmas, or pay once for every Christmas. Nothing renews. BUY IT ONCE, NOT EVERY YEAR Plenty of countdown apps put the year in their name and expire with it. This one doesn't. On Boxing Day it quietly starts counting the next Christmas, and with the lifetime unlock there is nothing to buy again. EVERY CHRISTMAS KEPT When Christmas is over the app saves the year - what you bought and for whom, what you spent, who had who in the Secret Santa - and starts the next one with a clean list. Next December you can look up what you got somebody last year instead of guessing. THE COUNTDOWN The big number, with hours and minutes underneath if you want them, and a progress bar through the whole run-up. A different line every morning. THE ADVENT CALENDAR Twenty-five doors, one a day through December. A joke, a film to put on, something to make or something to do behind every one - and next December they all quietly shut and it starts again. YOUR CHRISTMAS LIST Everyone you are buying for, what you are getting them, what it cost. Tick things off as you buy, and again as you wrap. It totals as you go. THE BUDGET Set a limit for the whole thing or one per person. See what you have spent, what is still to go, and what that works out at per day between now and Christmas. CHRISTMAS DINNER, TIMED BACKWARDS Tell it when you want to sit down and what you are cooking. It works backwards to tell you when the turkey goes in, when the potatoes follow, and what needs the oven at the same time as something else. THE FOOD SHOP A shopping list laid out the way a Christmas shop actually works - the dinner, the buffet, the sweets, the drink, breakfast - split across the big shop and the last-minute run. SECRET SANTA Draw names properly. Nobody gets themselves, you can keep couples apart, and each person sees only their own name. THE ELF Twenty-four nights of ideas for where the elf goes, from the arrival on the first to the goodbye on Christmas Eve. For everyone standing in the kitchen at eleven at night, out of ideas. SHARE A LIST WITH ANYONE Send the food shop to whoever is going, share your Christmas list with whoever you are running Christmas with, or send each Secret Santa their own name. They put in a short code and it lands in their app. Only the list you chose is sent. CHRISTMAS FILMS Twenty-one of them to work through, one suggested each evening, and room for the ones your family always puts on. CHRISTMAS DAYS OUT Ideas for the grotto, the panto, the markets, the lights and the carol service. COOKING Eight things people actually make in December - mincemeat, mince pies, mulled wine, red cabbage, bread sauce, brandy butter, roast potatoes and the Boxing Day pie. Add your own family versions. THE RUN-UP Advent Sunday, Black Friday, three weeks to go, the last week, Christmas Eve. They arrive on their own, worked out properly for whatever year it is. CRACKER JOKES Thirty-eight of them. All bad. A new one every day. PICK A LOOK Painted themes including Santa, Elf Workshop, Reindeer, Gingerbread and Midnight, each with its own scene. Or put your own photograph behind the number. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADVERTS No sign-up, no sign-in and no adverts. Your lists, budget and photos stay on your phone unless you choose to share a list. The app sends app-usage and purchase diagnostics, without your name, email or lists, so we can find and fix problems. The countdown and your saved lists work with no signal; purchases and sharing need a connection. FREE FOR GOOD, WITH A ONE-OFF UNLOCK The countdown, widgets, advent calendar, jokes, a list for three and the first elf nights are free with no time limit. Unlock the rest for This Christmas (to Boxing Day) or Every Christmas (pay once). No adverts.
