If an app could be a work of art, this is it! ### 5/5 — Well designed, interesting concept *2019-01-21, version 1.01* I think that this is an important way to think about dying; Simply to remember that you are living. More importantly, this app very gently reminds you to consider the most important things that you are living for. When the reminders catch you in the right moment, it feels very haunting and surreal (especially if you personalize the reminders). For someone out there in the random vastness, this little app feels like it could have life-altering consequences. ### 5/5 — Helps me focus on the important things *2019-01-20, version 1.0* This app helps me to remember what is important in life and not take things for granted. In particular the reminders that I create with my own messages really let me give my future self a gentle nudge. While normally I install apps that are frivolous or simply entertaining, this is definitely an important app that I recommend and feel is worthy of your time and attention. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 4/5 — I’m what it lacks, it makes up for so much in in what it is. Remember, 4/5 is only *2021-10-27, version 1.21* A ratio. ### 5/5 — Simple, elegant, poignant *2025-05-17, version 2.08* I guess that says it. ### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing Work *2021-07-27, version 1.21* I don’t usually write reviews but I just want to say that this app is simply beautiful and i appreciate the thought and effort you put into it... kudos to you and thank you❤️ ### 5/5 — Thanks. *2021-05-26, version 1.21* Within the first few minutes of downloading the app I can tell how much passion and effort was put into this. It feels so genuine. This is exactly what I was looking for from this kind of app, and I definitely value the emphasis of death as an inevitability rather than a problem to be postponed as long as possible. And despite the high level of quality, there are no ads and nothing is behind a pay wall. Only suggestion I could think of would be perhaps to add some sort of multi-add or add all feature for the items in the gallery. I really like all the quotes and reminders and would love to be able to just add them all with a few taps instead of each one individually. Much love to Rajeev and Barkley :) ### 5/5 — Beautiful app *2019-11-27, version 1.31* Much less morbid than it seems; a good way to keep yourself grounded & aware of what you’re doing with the time you have. The app itself is also extremely polished, thoughtful in its design, and full of nice little Easter Eggs. ### 5/5 — Thoughtful app *2019-07-04, version 1.2* It really reminds you what’s important. ### 5/5 — Here & Now *2019-06-08, version 1.1.3* Cleverly done with relevance for the need of the time. Highlighting the inevitable (we’re all going to die) in a thoughtful and artistic way. This app offers the reminder to live for today, right now, in this moment. ### 5/5 — I appreciate the thoughtfulness... *2019-04-11, version 1.1.1* And attention to details for this app. This app is meant for introspection and examining our lives, which is rare these days. Since most of the apps are made for distraction, addiction or instant gratification. If you enjoy philosophical musings, this is a great app to get. I also see this as an art piece. Take time to read thru the resources and rethink of short-lives existence on this planet earth. ### 5/5 — Value made real *2019-04-04, version 1.1* Truly excellent. The design is elegant and effective, and the thought behind the app is clearly deep. I particularly like the unobtrusive but timely reminders of my finite lifespan, and the customisable reminders are perfect. It has added a layer to my day when I have had a notification. Very worthwhile download ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2019-03-18, version 1.06* This app will take you there, and could be life-changing. No, really. The act of adding reminders through photos and words is a joyful and meditative process. And then those reminders randomly deliver a sweet surprise, and a moment of pause and reflection. ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So elegant in concept and design! *2019-02-08, version 1.02* I love knowing I am carrying this app around with me. It’s beauty and elegance alone remind you how you should be living life! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
