Yet another “your life in weeks” app inspired by Tim Urban’s Wait But Why post. I’m getting tool old for this.

Yes, I know. But I didn't find a cool widget about this topic. So I created mine.

Bought this. I’m not entirely sure why. Seeing the ball animation for how many years are left filled me with a sense of dread at just how few of them there were. I’ll be keeping the widget on my home page. Thanks for making this.

Thanks, but getting old is free.

(Well, not really, or not in the US at least. But you take my meaning, I'm sure.)

Who knows? But what I mean is there comes an age when exogenous reminders of mortality become superfluous.
