Why people look for an alternative
Every December, searches for “deco my tree not working”, “service unavailable”, “login” and “password” climb fast. Tree-message apps get the busiest exactly when everyone wants them — and getting locked out of your tree right before Christmas is no fun.
If that sounds familiar, you don’t have to give up on the tradition. You just need an app that keeps things simple.
What to look for in a tree-message app
- No account to lose. The fewer logins and passwords, the fewer ways to get locked out.
- Friends can send from anywhere. Senders shouldn’t have to install anything.
- Free to send. Nobody should have to pay to leave you a message.
- Messages open on a clear date, so everyone knows when the big reveal happens.
- Tools to stay safe: report, delete and block — and you should always know who sent a message.

How to switch in two minutes
Create your tree
Go to decomytree.link/create-tree and create your tree — no sign-up form.
Share your new link
Swap the old link in your Instagram story or bio for your My Tree link, and post it in your group chats.

Other ways to deco a tree
Several other apps and websites offer their own version of the trend — search for “Deco My Tree” on the App Store or Google Play, or “Color My Tree” on the web. They each work a little differently, so check how sign-up, sending and opening work before you share your link.
Questions
Is My Tree the same as Deco My Tree?
No. My Tree is an independent service and isn’t affiliated with Deco My Tree or its developers. It works the same way as the trend: you create a tree, share a link and friends leave messages that open on Christmas.
Do I need to log in to My Tree?
No. There is no account, email or password. Your tree is saved in your browser, and your private link opens it anywhere.
Can my friends send messages without the app?
Yes. They open your link or enter your tree code at decomytree.link/send-message in any browser.
Is My Tree free?
Yes. Creating a tree, sharing it, receiving messages and sending gifts from the web are free. My Tree Pro is an optional upgrade.
