You say “someday.” Time keeps moving. Take that trip with your parents. Start the project you keep putting off. Make more time for someone you love. Some things deserve more than “one day.” Life Clock makes time visible—and helps you turn your bucket list into action. Create your personal countdown, choose what matters and take one small step today. SEE YOUR TIME. CHOOSE YOUR TODAY. Build a life clock around a time reference you choose. Watch the days, hours, minutes and seconds move. Each glance is a chance to ask: what deserves my time today? GIVE “SOMEDAY” A FIRST STEP Write down a personal goal, why it matters and what you can do next. You don’t need to finish the whole plan today. Choose a destination. Make the call. Take the first step—and keep a record of your progress. KEEP WHAT MATTERS IN SIGHT — PRO Bring countdown widgets and your next step to your Home Screen and Lock Screen. • Explore digital displays, rings, progress scales, life grids, year grids and layouts that combine time with action. • Show your personal timeline, today, this week, this year, a goal deadline or your activity. • Customize with six themes, accent colors and typography options. Save presets for the combinations you love. Available layouts and content vary by widget size. ONE SQUARE. ONE WHOLE YEAR. — PRO See the years behind you and the future time you have set as your reference in a visual life calendar. Revisit your recorded steps by year. Remember what happened—not just how much time passed. MAKE YOUR TIME LOOK LIKE YOU — PRO Unlock every clock layout, display unit and color palette. Choose a view that makes you want to pause and pay attention. SEE HOW FAR YOU’VE COME — PRO Keep multiple goals active and make space for weekly reflection. Look beyond the countdown. Notice the steps you’ve taken, capture what the week meant to you and give small beginnings the recognition they deserve. START FREE. UNLOCK ONCE. The basic clock, optional questionnaire and one active goal are free. A one-time purchase unlocks all the Pro features above. No subscription. Previous purchases can be restored in the app. A QUIETER SPACE, JUST FOR YOU No ads. No account required. Your birthday, questionnaire answers and goal records are stored on your device. Data export is available. ABOUT YOUR TIME REFERENCE Your countdown is calculated from a time reference you confirm. It does not measure your actual remaining lifespan. The optional questionnaire provides a reference only; it does not predict your date of death or provide medical assessment or advice. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Start with one thing that matters. Make time for the life you want to live.

You’ve been sleepwalking through life without a sense of urgency. Sometimes you even know what to do, but you don’t do it. You feel like you have all the time in the world. You don’t—and you know this. You know you will die...but you don’t feel it. If you could truly feel it, you could heal yourself. You would discover clarity, purpose, and joy. You would cherish every second. And the best part? This transformation isn’t a trick. No silly affirmations. No hypnosis. This is real. Lasting. Life-long. Because it’s the truth. The Buddhists understood the power of death on the mind. They created an entire practice of meditations and contemplations called Maranasati—considered among the most powerful transformative techniques in their system. The Death Reminder App re-creates that experience, allowing you to embrace this transformation in just days. Your time is running out. Make every moment extraordinary. Note: This app is a paid subscription service that includes a free trial. Note: This app does not provide any professional mental health or crisis intervention services.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Death Reminder App at 4.2 against Life Clock's 3.0. Death Reminder App also leads on ratings volume (104 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). Life Clock's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Life Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Death Reminder App sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Death Reminder App holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Death Reminder App has 104 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Life Clock's written reviews are positive against 41% of Death Reminder App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Life Clock ships an update fortnightly, Death Reminder App every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
