Advent App8.1.1 - App Store

Create a personal Advent calendar and gift it to someone you love: 24 doors filled with photos, videos, voice messages and little surprises, opening one by one in December.

Newly redesigned for 2026: fresh calendar designs, a warmer, calmer look, voice messages behind any door, and full iPad support with iCloud sync - in 20 languages.

Why you'll love the Advent App

Doors made for your loved one
Fill every door with your favorite photos and videos, a special song, a voucher, a funny quote, or a little memory you know they'll smile about.

Fill it your way, not all at once
Because the calendar is digital, you don't need to finish everything by December 1. Add doors as you go and update them whenever you like.

Gentle reminders so you never miss a day
If you enable notifications, we'll send you a little reminder the day before each door opens.

No account needed
When you create your calendar, we generate a custom link you can send to your loved ones via WhatsApp, SMS or email. No sign-up for anyone - they simply download the free Advent App, tap your link, and their calendar is ready.

Share with as many people as you like
One calendar, one link - send it to one special person or the whole family.

Gift it ad-free - or send it for free
Sending an ad-free calendar is a one-time purchase per calendar - no subscription. And if you'd rather not pay, there's a free option too: your loved one simply watches a short ad before opening each door.

Have fun creating and gifting, and have a tree-mendous holiday season!
Your Advent App Team

Version History Advent App is ready for iPhone Duo.

Closed, nothing hides behind the camera or the controls along the side. Open, your calendars spread out across the big display. Fold and unfold whenever you like: the doors rearrange and you stay right where you were.

Happy filling! Door one opens December 1st. 8.1.1 3d ago Advent App now speaks Hungarian, Slovak and Greek. That makes twenty languages.

Everything is translated: the app, the doors, the help pages and the legal texts. If one of the three is your phone's language, the app picks it up on its own.

Happy filling! Door one opens December 1st. 8.1.0 Sep 24 Small update with important fixes:

• Fixed: the app could close unexpectedly while you edited a photo or audio door, especially while another device was syncing the same calendar.
• Fixed: a calendar you deleted could come back after your device had not synced with iCloud for a while.
• Fixed: a video could go missing from its door right after the app started while iCloud was still syncing. A video that is not on this device now says so instead of loading forever.
• Purchases: if something goes wrong after you pay, nothing is lost. The purchase is applied the next time you try, and the app tells you clearly when a purchase cannot be used.
• “Modern 2026”: the door numbers now have the design’s hand-drawn comic style while you fill your calendar.

Happy filling! Door one opens December 1st. 8.0.2 Sep 15 Small update, noticeably smoother:

• New calendar design “Modern 2026”: a comic-style look with soft pastel grounds, chunky outlined numbers and Christmas motifs in plum ink. Pick it when you create a calendar.
• Fixed: on smaller screens the Next button when sending could sit out of reach. That page now scrolls.
• Picking photos is now instant, even the first time.
• Video doors: uploads keep going in the background and pick up again after an interruption, and videos start faster for the person opening them.
• Fixed: a calendar set to open all doors right away no longer jumps out of its year in your list.
• Fixed: a deleted door could briefly keep its old picture in the grid. Calendars from older versions can be deleted again.
• The notice for doors that are still locked got a friendlier, more legible look.

Happy filling! Door one opens December 1st. 8.0.1 Sep 14 Getting ready for December! Here's what's new:

• New calendar designs to choose from — with subtle new door animations and sounds.
• Now available in 17 languages — newly added: Italian, Polish and Czech.
• Voice messages: record a personal audio message behind any door — hearing your voice is the warmest surprise of all.
• A fresh coat of paint across the app — and more design improvements are on the way.
• Advent App now feels right at home on your iPad, with split view and keyboard shortcuts.
• iCloud sync: your calendars are safely backed up and available on all your devices.
• Pick your own app icon: seven festive looks to choose from in Settings.
• Plus plenty of polish: smoother scrolling, faster photos and videos, and stability fixes.

Have fun creating and gifting! 8.0.0 Aug 24 This update brings important improvements to your Advent calendar experience:

- Fixed video picker button visibility on iPhone X and newer models
