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 can talk to bro about whatever: work, relationship... and bro is the perfect sounding board. Bro even keeps a journal for you so that you can track your growth and connect the dots looking backwards. Bro's just here to keep you dialed in, keep you sharp and chill, and on top of your game. In this day and age, we could all use one more bro. --------------- SUBSCRIPTION INFO Our app offers an in-app subscription for a premium experience, including advanced AI models, unlimited memory, and unlimited cloud storage.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Bro at 3.7 against Life Clock's 3.0. Bro also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Life Clock's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (50% vs 37%). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Life Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bro sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bro holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bro has 1.1K 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 37% of Bro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Life Clock ships an update fortnightly, Bro every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
