You can't add weeks to your life. You can add life to your weeks. WeeksAlive is a life calendar and daily journal that shows your life in weeks, then helps you notice each one as it happens. This isn't a countdown. It's a gentle reminder that your time is precious. SEE YOUR LIFE IN WEEKS Every dot is a week you lived, or a week still ahead. Your grid starts the day you were born. Birthdays, heartbreaks, ordinary Tuesdays, every one is here. Zoom into this year, watch both grids come alive, and keep a clear picture of the time you have. A 60-SECOND DAILY RITUAL Four questions. That's it. • How did you feel today? • How meaningful was your time? • Did you try something new? • Did you live your weekly intentions? No long diary. No guilt. Just a simple check-in that turns awareness into a habit. LIVE EACH WEEK WITH INTENTION Choose 1 to 3 intentions, not goals, just a guideline. Connect. Rest. Create. Be present. Your intentions reset every Monday (or on the day you choose). At the end of the week, a short recap shows how it actually felt. ALWAYS IN SIGHT Add your life calendar to your Home Screen, Lock Screen, or wallpaper. Widgets and an automatic wallpaper keep your grid where you'll see it, a beautiful, constant reminder to live on purpose. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS It never leaves your device. No ads. Works 100% offline. If you allow tracking, it only tells us which ad brought you here. Nothing personal. Nothing sold. WHY PEOPLE USE WEEKSALIVE ""Great app. Makes me look at life from a different perspective."" ""This is the most concise life lesson ever. Life is important."" ""That's a strong motivation to get the important things done."" 91% of WeeksAlive users say it helps them get the most out of their time. WeeksAlive is a mindful life calendar for anyone who wants a memento mori without the heaviness: a daily journal, mood tracker, and weekly reflection, so you feel your time, instead of watching it slip by. WeeksAlive Pro is an optional auto-renewable in-app subscription. A purchase is required to access Pro features after the free trial. One life. Every week, a new chance.
