The Life Timeline

Your life has a finite number of weeks. This app shows you exactly how many. Please note: The base Life Timeline is free to use forever, including all cloud backup and syncing features. A premium annual subscription is required to unlock advanced features like custom themes, artwork exports, and multiple timeline archives. Open The Life Timeline and it snaps directly to This Weekβyour fixed position in an infinite scroll that stretches from the week you were born to the week of your 100th birthday. Scroll up, and the past fades into a gentle archival haze. Scroll down, and the future unfolds as a concrete, numbered runway: not an abstract "someday," but an exact count. A Different Kind of Calendar Sync your Apple calendar and every future event transforms into a distance: You are 14 weeks from your anniversary. You are 312 weeks from your planned retirement. Tag anything with # and the app calculates the exact weight of the gap. The infinite scroll of social media replaced with the finite scroll of your own existence.
