How many weeks do you have left? This Year: watch all 365 or 366 days unfold, with today, completed days, and remaining days clearly marked. Life Countdown turns your entire life into a powerful visual grid. Each square represents one week. Filled squares are weeks you have already lived. Empty squares are the weeks you have remaining. It is simple, striking, and impossible to ignore. Inspired by Tim Urban's famous "Your Life in Weeks" from Wait But Why, this app makes the abstract passage of time feel real and immediate. WHAT YOU WILL SEE Open the app and your life appears as a grid of tiny squares. At a glance, you can see how much time has passed and how much remains. A live ticking countdown shows your remaining time down to the second. - Live countdown: see days, hours, minutes, and seconds ticking away in real time - Milestones: remaining birthdays, summers, weekends, and holidays - Percentage lived: a clear progress bar showing how far along you are - Beautiful widget: see your countdown right on your Home Screen - Dark and light themes that look stunning WHY USE Life Countdown This is not a morbid app. It is a motivational tool. When you see that you may have 2,400 weekends left, you think twice about wasting one. When you see 60% of your life grid filled in, you feel the urgency to pursue what matters. People who use life countdown apps report feeling more intentional about their time, more grateful for each day, and more motivated to take action on long-postponed goals. WIDGET SUPPORT Add the Life Countdown widget to your Home Screen for a constant, gentle reminder that time is your most valuable resource. See your remaining time at a glance without even opening the app. PRIVACY FIRST Your birthday and settings stay on this device. Cards and milestones may sync through your private iCloud account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ZenAwake at none against Life Countdown's 1. ZenAwake also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). On price there is nothing between them.
