A countdown you tear by hand. One paper link a day, all the way to the day.
Get it on the App StoreRemember the paper chain on the classroom wall in December? One link for every day until winter break, and every morning somebody got to tear one off.
Paper Chain is that, on your iPhone. Pull the bottom link down. It stretches, it strains, and then it gives. The scrap flutters to the floor and lands on the pile, and you're one link closer.
Count down to a date (Halloween, the trip, the wedding, the last day of school) and each link waits for its day. Or just count: thirty workouts, twelve chapters, ten piano lessons. When the last link goes, the whole pile goes up in the air. Then you sweep up and start the next one.
Every link is a loop of construction paper that swings when you tilt your phone, catches the light, and tears where it's weakest. Long countdowns wind onto a wooden spool that clicks round as the next link comes off.
Three chains to a room. Rooms are free, as many as you like.
Printed paper for the seasons: pumpkins, witch hats, friendly ghosts.
Some rooms are outside. The wind picks up.
Every part of counting down is free, forever: the tearing, the widgets, the reminders, as many chains and rooms as you want, with bright paper, three birthday papers, and Halloween.
The one thing for sale. Every holiday, event, and color paper (Christmas two ways, Hanukkah, Thanksgiving, New Year's, winter, vacation, a wedding, a baby), every room's look, like the beach, and every new one we add after. $4.99, once. Shared with your family.
