When did you last feel like time was slipping away? Squares Left turns your entire life into a grid of squares. Filled squares are behind you. Empty ones are ahead. One of them is today. Enter your birthday. Watch the grid fill in. See the number of weeks you have remaining. It's a simple idea - and it changes how you see every day. WHAT YOU GET - Life grid in 4 views: years, months, weeks, and days - Real-time statistics: age, time elapsed, time remaining - Home screen widgets that keep perspective one glance away - Life expectancy refined by country and sex using WHO data - Dark and light themes DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU THINK The onboarding isn't a form. It's a conversation. A few questions, a moment of reflection, and then the grid appears. Most people pause when they see it for the first time. 100% PRIVATE No accounts. No sign-ups. No analytics. No network requests. Your birthday and name never leave your device. Everything runs offline using data bundled with the app. WIDGETS Seven home screen widgets - from a compact life grid to counters for years, months, weeks, and days remaining. Put your perspective where you'll see it. Built on WHO life expectancy data. Not medical advice - just a quiet reminder that your time is finite, and that's what makes it valuable. Make every square count.
