## What is How Many Sleeps?

"How many sleeps until my birthday?" — now they can check themselves.

How Many Sleeps is the fun countdown app designed for the whole family. Instead of boring numbers, count "sleeps" — the way we naturally think about time.

FEATURES

- Count in Sleeps — "Only 3 more sleeps until the holidays!"
- Beautiful Progress Bar — watch it fill up as the big day gets closer
- Birthdays That Repeat — set once, auto-rolls every year
- Home Screen Widgets — small, medium, and large sizes
- Lock Screen Widgets — see your countdown without unlocking
- 80+ Fun Icons — search for the perfect icon from birthday cakes to rockets
- Milestone Notifications — "5 more sleeps!", "1 more sleep!", "It's TODAY!"
- Safe By Design — no ads, no tracking, no accounts, no data collection

PRIVACY FIRST

How Many Sleeps collects zero data. Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no sign-ups, no personal information.

PERFECT FOR

- Birthday countdowns
- Holiday countdowns
- School holiday countdowns
- Christmas sleeps
- Family trip countdowns
