Everything on the horizon
The dates nobody else counts
Grandma's visit. The first day of the holidays. Wobbly-tooth day. Save them to an account and everyone in the house sees the same number.

How it works
Holidays, weddings, gigs, a new baby, a retirement, a big birthday. When there's a date you're looking forward to, the number of sleeps is the simplest way to say how close it is.
What counts as a sleep
One night. If it's Monday evening and the day is Wednesday, that's two sleeps, and on the day itself it's today. The number rolls over at midnight in your own time zone, and every countdown shows the days, hours and minutes too.
The big holidays, already counted
Bonfire Night, Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas, Chinese New Year, Eid, Easter, Father's Day and more each have their own page, with the date and the sleeps left. Holidays that move, like Easter and Eid, show that year's date.
Dates that differ by country
Some holidays fall on different days in different places: Mother's Day is in March in the UK and in May in the US, Australia and Canada. Choose the UK, US, Australia or Canada above and the dates follow.
Your own dates, free
Make a countdown to any date in seconds, with no sign-up, and share the link. Send it to the group chat and anyone can open it, with no app or account needed.
A board for everything you're counting
A free account gives you a board: countdowns you've made, ones you've pinned from someone else's link, and occasions you've pinned, in one list sorted by date. Edit or delete any time, keep up to 2 countdowns private, and pick your own font, colours and layout.
