A free, browser-based sleep aid. No apps, no accounts, no subscription. Just open the page and count.
I'm Greg Beattie, an Auckland-based developer — and I built Sheep Counter because I couldn't sleep. Every app I tried wanted a subscription, a profile, or access to my microphone. All I wanted was somewhere quiet to count.
So I built it — and it actually worked. I still use it myself every night. Sheep Counter is a solo, independent project with no VC funding and no growth team. The only measure of success I care about is whether it helps you sleep too.
You can't force sleep — you can only create the right conditions and let it arrive.
No premium tier. No freemium tricks. No "upgrade for unlimited sheep." Good sleep shouldn't require a credit card.
I use cookies, anonymised analytics, and AdSense to keep the lights on. I don't collect sleep data or sell personal information.
No streaks, no scores, no gamification. Every feature that isn't here was left out deliberately — because it wouldn't help you sleep.
Sheep Counter is a relaxation aid, not a medical treatment. For chronic insomnia, speak with a GP or sleep specialist. CBT-I is the gold-standard treatment with a strong evidence base.
Kept free through unobtrusive Google AdSense ads. No premium tier, no data sold. See my Privacy Policy for the full picture.
No installation, no permissions, no updates. The web is the most accessible platform — if you have a browser, you have Sheep Counter.
Yes — use the Contact link. I read every message.
No download. No account. Just open the page and let the counting do the rest.
