How much time do you have left? Enter your date of birth and your life expectancy, and LIFE LEFT makes the answer visible: your life in months, as a 24-hour clock, and as a countdown that never stops. A simple memento mori app for anyone who wants to spend their time on what actually matters. Not recommended if you'd rather not hear the clock ticking. ■ What you see ・Month Blocks – your whole life in months. Filled blocks are behind you; empty blocks are what's left. ・Life Clock – if your life were a single day, what time would it be right now? ・Countdown – the years, weeks, days, hours and minutes you have left. ・This Year – how much of this year is still ahead of you. ・Waking hours – set your average sleep and see only the hours you are actually awake. ■ Who it's for ・For anyone who feels the days slipping past and wants to start over. ・For anyone drawn to memento mori, Stoicism and the "Die with Zero" mindset. ・For anyone planning a bucket list, a career change, or simply a better week. ■ Hard Mode (one-time purchase, optional) ・Once a month, a notification tells you that another block of your life is gone. Blunt, honest, and not for everyone. ・Home Screen widgets that keep your remaining time in view. ・Color themes. ・No ads. Your remaining time is only an estimate. What you do with it is up to you.

Big decision? Small decision? Let a ball decide. Let It Drop is your offline little gremlin for the moments when you really, really can't pick. A ball that actually drops This isn't a number an algorithm spits at you. Watch a single ball clatter through a peg grid and settle into one of your slots — the same physical, slightly chaotic feeling as the carnival game it's named after. You'll trust the result because you saw it happen. Doodle your options, don't type them Forget keyboards. Sketch a face, scribble a word, draw a tiny diagram — whatever your hand wants. Each option lives as a small hand-drawn tile, so "the spicy place" and "Mom's cooking" never look the same and never get confused. No IME, no autocorrect, no AI guessing what you meant. Just pictures only you understand. Pick one. Or pick three. Or pick five. Most decisions are "choose one of these," but some are "choose three from ten" — lottery numbers, lunch teammates, a band lineup, a draft order. Set how many balls drop and how many slots they fill. Let It Drop handles both with the same calm physics. Chain groups for big, weird, beautiful decisions String multiple option groups together so one drop feeds the next. Pick a restaurant type, then pick a place. Pick a movie genre, then a decade, then a specific film. Pick three friends to invite, then pick the activity. The setup is yours — limited only by your imagination. Made for *People who can't decide what to have for lunch. * Couples and friends stuck on Saturday-night plans. * Tabletop GMs generating random encounters and loot drops. * Teachers running classroom raffles and cold-call lotteries. * Anyone tired of "let me think about it" answers. Private by design * Fully offline — no internet required. * No accounts, no signups, no analytics, no ads. * Your sketches stay on your device. * The shareable result image is built locally and only sent if you choose to share it. Drop the ball. Let it go.
