HowManySleeps

HowManySleeps is a friendly countdown app for upcoming dates, trips, routines and important moments. It was created with family life in mind, especially the need to reduce friction and make planning easier for a young adult with significant special needs and a learning disability. If it works clearly for us as a family, it can be useful for other people too.

Countdowns that feel simple

Create one-off or repeating events and see them as clear “sleeps until” countdowns.

Built for real use

Widgets, reminders, palettes, optional icons and PIN-protected settings are all built around everyday family routines, accessibility, and learning needs.

Share-friendly

Widgit Online links can be shared into the app so new events are prefilled more quickly.
