Step 1: Pick Your Shape & Size (Then Lock It!)
Choose Christmas Tree, Cone, Pyramid, Cube/Box, Orb/Sphere, Circle/Wreath, Square/Board, or Star. Set the height and width, then tap Lock Size so accidental phone taps never shift your spots.
Step 2: Add Ornaments in Sets (With Symbols & Colors)
Pick an Ornament Symbol (Round Bulb, Star, Diamond, Heart, Bell, Bow, or Snowflake), choose a Color and Size (e.g., 3.0"), enter how many you have, and tap + Place Set. The app spaces them evenly without overlapping any ornaments already on the tree!
Step 3: Hang Ornaments Using Bright vs. Dim Mode
Stand by your tree with your phone and tap ‹ Prev and Next › right under the diagram. The spot you are hanging right now glows extra bright with a gold target ring, while all other ornaments dim down so you never lose your place.
Step 4: Save Years, Add Without Moving, Compare & Print
- Save As New Copy / Next Year: Loads your saved tree and keeps every single existing ornament locked in its exact spot so you can add new ornaments on top and save it as a new year (e.g., Home Tree 2027).
- Compare Years: View any two saved trees side-by-side to see how your collection grew.
- Print & Keepsake: Tap Print for a clean paper checklist or Keepsake for a framed photo card.
- Share with Family: Tap Share File to send your tree file by text/email; family members tap Load File on their phone or PC to open it!
