Put a Christmas countdown on your Lock Screen in one tap. Free. TAP THE MOON • Count sleeps instead of days. Every evening from 6 PM the moon on the widget opens: one tap, one sleep closer. • Tap it on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island or on the Home Screen, without opening the app. • The number is always recomputed from the date at midnight, so a tap can never break the count. • A quiet "3 nights in a row" on the event screen. No badges, no push notifications. EVERY WIDGET FOR YOUR FIRST EVENT, FREE • Lock Screen: circular, rectangular and inline. • Home Screen: small, medium, large, and an extra-large diary page on iOS 27. • Live Activity in the Dynamic Island, on Apple Watch and in CarPlay. • StandBy while your iPhone charges on its side: a nightlight that counts. • Change the event, color palette and days/sleeps right on the Home Screen. ROLLS OVER EXACTLY AT MIDNIGHT • Every widget carries its own timeline, one entry per local midnight. No stale numbers in the morning, in any time zone, when the clocks change. PRESETS • Christmas, Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, plus your local holidays. One tap, and next year the date moves by itself. • Or pick any event from your Calendar: birthdays, vacations, weddings, the baby's due date. ASK SIRI • "How many sleeps until Christmas?" Siri answers and shows the card. NO SNOW, NO NOISE • Paper-and-ink design with the Winter palette: cream paper, evergreen and carmine, a gold moon. • Your data stays on your device and in your private iCloud. No account, no ads, no tracking. PRICING Free: 3 events, and everything (every widget, the Live Activity, StandBy) for your first event. Winter palette free until 6 January 2027.
