Time Flees offers a fresh way to look at your life. You’ll answer a few questions about your lifestyle, health, family history, stress, social support, environment, finances, and early life. Time Flees uses your answers, along with public U.S. life table data, to give you a personalized estimate of how much time you may have left. See how much of your estimated timeline you’ve already lived, how much may be left, and, if you go past the estimate, how much bonus time you’ve lived. View your time in years, months, or days, and add meaningful experiences from your life to see where they fall along your timeline. Use Home Screen widgets to keep that perspective within reach.
