Sleeps

Sleeps is a small software application developed specifically for helping you count down the number of days until a certain event and show a custom text message. It is compatible with Windows XP and Vista.

Portable running mode

You do not have to go through the predefined steps included in an installation process because the tool is portable.

Simple looks

The program sports a minimalist design that reveals the number of days until a certain event. Some hints about the utility’s capabilities are revealed in a plain text file.

A few configuration settings

The application comes packed with several tweaking parameters that help you set the date from a built-in calendar and write a custom text message that is shown next to the number of days. In addition, you are allowed to change the position of the timer on the desktop with the aid of two built-in vertical and horizontal sliders.
The built-in dictionary comes packed with basic features for helping you go to the next or previous month. What’s more, Sleeps gives you the possibility to alter the color of the text message by choosing between several preset options from a drop-down list, run the tool at Windows startup, and modify the text in terms of font, style, and size.

Final remarks

All in all, Sleeps comes bundled with simple features for helping you count down the number of days until a user-defined date, and is suitable especially for less experienced users.
