Sleeps is a countdown app for kids. It answers “how long until…?” in sleeps — the nights left until a birthday, trip, holiday, or other day they’re waiting for. Add a countdown with a title, a date, a picture, and a color. The app shows how many sleeps remain as a large number. Optional home screen widgets keep that number visible without opening the app. You can also ask Siri how many sleeps are left until a countdown you’ve saved. Optional reminders can notify you a week before, three days before, the day before, and on the morning of the event. Countdowns sync through your iCloud account across your own devices. Sleeps has no ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, and no tracking. It does not collect data. Support and privacy information: https://iliarafa.github.io/sleeps/
