Christmas Countdown & Widget vs MeshJam

How many sleeps until Christmas? Christmas Countdown puts the countdown right on your home screen and lock screen, so the whole family can see how close Christmas is, every time they pick up the iPhone. Rated 4.8 stars by more than 2,400 people. Free, no ads, no account. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Add the widget once and the days (or sleeps) left are always in sight. No need to open the app: the widget updates by itself every day, all season long. LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS See the countdown without even unlocking your phone. Pick the round widget with its progress ring, which fills up as Christmas gets closer, or the one-line widget above the clock. SLEEPS, NOT JUST DAYS Kids don't count days, they count sleeps. Switch to sleeps mode and the app answers the question you hear every evening in December: "How many more nights until Santa comes?" LIVE COUNTDOWN IN THE APP Open the app for the full countdown: days, hours, minutes and seconds ticking down in real time, under gently falling snow. Prefer a calm screen? Turn the snow off in one tap. DEC 24 OR DEC 25 Celebrate on Christmas Eve or on Christmas Day? Choose the date you count down to, and every widget follows. In Sweden, the app counts to December 24 by default. FESTIVE THEMES Classic red, pine green or ice blue. Your colour applies to the app and to the widgets, so your home screen matches your mood. ALL YEAR LONG Christmas is over? The countdown starts again for next year, and we say Merry Christmas on the way. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Available in 16 languages, from French and German to Japanese and Korean. PREMIUM: SNOWY SCENE WIDGETS A one-time purchase unlocks exclusive widgets: a snowy landscape with a cabin, a snowman and fir trees, in small and medium sizes, painted in your theme colour. Premium also removes the FREE badge from the classic widget and supports an independent developer. No subscription, ever. Already bought it? Restore your purchase in one tap from Settings. HOW TO ADD THE WIDGET 1. Download Christmas Countdown, it's free 2. Long-press an empty area of your home screen and tap Edit 3. Tap Add Widget and search for Christmas Countdown 4.

One phone plays. Every phone hears it. MeshJam turns your iPhone into a live broadcaster for everyone around you. Friends open the app, see your broadcast instantly, and join with a single tap — no accounts, no pairing, no Wi-Fi network to set up, no internet at all. Audio travels phone-to-phone over a local peer-to-peer mesh, so it works in a basement, on a beach, or on a bus. HOW IT WORKS • Broadcast — pick your source and tap Start. Your phone announces itself to everyone nearby. • Discover — nearby iPhones running MeshJam list your broadcast automatically, with what you're playing. • Listen — one tap to join. Low-latency, jitter-buffered playback keeps the room in sync. BUILT FOR THE MOMENT • House parties — the DJ's set in everyone's headphones. Instant silent disco. • Live music — a band or open mic, streamed to the back row. • Tours & talks — one guide, every visitor's earbuds, any language volume. • Watch parties — everyone hears the game without cranking a speaker. WHAT YOU SEE • Live listener count and a real audio level meter while broadcasting • Latency readout and connection quality while listening • Simple controls: Start, Stop, Mute Mic, Switch Input PRIVATE BY DESIGN Audio never touches a server — it goes straight from phone to phone, encrypted in transit, and disappears when the session ends. No account. No tracking. Nothing collected. Microphone broadcasting is available today; system-audio broadcasting is on the roadmap. MeshJam requires iPhones with iOS 17 or later, within local wireless range of each other.
