A grid appears showing every week of your expected lifespan. Filled squares represent weeks you have already lived, and empty squares represent weeks remaining.
Key life milestones — school years, career start, retirement — are highlighted on the calendar so you can see where you stand in the broader arc of life.
Use the visual perspective to reflect on how you want to spend your remaining weeks. Share the calendar via the built-in sharing options.

The Life Calendar is inspired by Tim Urban's famous "Your Life in Weeks" concept and resonates with anyone who values intentional living. Seeing 4,000 tiny squares — some filled, many empty — creates an immediate, visceral understanding of time that no number or chart can replicate.
Productivity coaches and therapists recommend tools like this to help clients gain perspective on long-term goals. By seeing an entire lifetime compressed into a single screen, abstract ideas like "five years from now" become concrete and visual, making goal-setting more grounded.
Students and young professionals find it particularly motivating. When you can see that college occupies a thin sliver of the total grid, it reframes daily frustrations and encourages a longer-term view of decisions and investments.
The tool uses publicly available life expectancy data from the World Health Organization and national statistics agencies, adjusted by country. It provides an average estimate, not a personal prediction.
