24 alternatives to Life is Short
I’ve always been amazed by how short life is. But the thing is, it’s so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day — work, deadlines, chores — and forget that time is quietly slipping by. So I built this little thing. It shows your life in weeks — how many you’ve lived, and how many (roughly) you might have left. For me, it’s a daily reminder to zoom out, reflect on my choices, and not take time for granted. I’d had this idea in my head for ages and finally managed to build it (I’m not a technical person at all, so the app is really in the early stage) Hope it’s helpful to someone out there :)…

Hi! I made an interactive visualization of your life in weeks. Inspired by Tim Urban's Your Life in Weeks (Wait But Why) and Buster Benson's Life in Weeks. Hopefully it's a fun thing to do together with family over the holidays. I wrote about it on my digital garden: https://www.petemillspaugh.com/weeks-of-your-life Any feedback is welcome. Top on my todo list is improving performance (reduce interaction lag).

This tool helps you see your life as a series of weeks, showing how much time you've spent and how much time you have left with the people you love. Life goes by fast, and sometimes we forget how little time we have with family.

I initially released this as just an IOS app. Since then it has been growing steadily but a lot of people have emailed asking for a web / android version. It took me nearly 2 months to build a version for the web. The nice thing about using Convex as my backend is that all the data is always synced between the app and web. I do not have to setup any syncing logic. The moment you change something in the app, it will reflect on the web version in realtime. I know there are loads of these kind of tools online but it's starting to feel like mine is actually starting to differentiate itself…
