Life Sunset

Our days are finite. In the rush of life, we forget that. Sunset puts your remaining days on your home screen - a quiet reminder to live with intention. HOW IT WORKS โข Set your expected life's final sunset. โข Choose how you want to see your remaining time - days, sunsets, or percentage of life lived etc. โข Add the widget to your home screen โข Live with that number in view No accounts. No notifications. No tracking. Just a number that changes every day. Built on the idea that awareness of mortality isn't morbid, it's clarifying. When you see your number, the trivial falls away and what matters comes into focus. "That it will never come again is what makes life so sweet." โ Emily Dickinson
