See the time you have lived, on a scale you choose. Spanlet gives you three ways to view your life: a clear percentage, your current year of life, and a grid of weeks. Enter your birthday, choose a scale from 1 to 150 years, and find the view that works for you. You can change that scale at any time. THREE WAYS TO SEE TIME Switch between percentages, years, and weeks. See elapsed days alongside your chosen scale. The years view shows the year of life you are currently living. WIDGETS FOR EVERY DAY Add small or medium life progress widgets to your Home Screen. Choose circular, rectangular, or inline widgets for your Lock Screen. The app includes previews and instructions to help you add them. YOUR YEAR, ONE DAY AT A TIME The large year progress widget shows the current year's 365 or 366 days. Completed days are filled, and today is outlined. It works without a birthday and starts fresh each January. MAKE IT YOURS Choose Moss, Paper, or Dusk. Each theme supports light and dark appearances in the app and widgets. STORED ON YOUR DEVICE No account, ads, or third-party analytics. Your birthday and preferences are stored locally and shared only with the app's widgets on your device. The app works offline. You can edit or erase your local profile at any time. System backups depend on your device settings. Spanlet visualizes elapsed time. Your chosen scale is not a life expectancy prediction. The app does not use health data or send push notifications. Widget refresh timing is managed by iOS. For iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Available in English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
