Why this exists

Your Death Date was built on a single uncomfortable idea: most of us live as if time is infinite, and we only realise it isn't when it's too late.

The app takes the philosophy of memento mori — "remember you will die" — and makes it tangible. Your entire life, from birth to your likely final week, compressed into a grid of squares. Every filled square is a week already spent. Every empty one is still yours.

This isn't about fear. It's about clarity. When you can see your time, you stop wasting it on things that don't matter. You start doing more of what does.

The deeds system was added because a life well-lived isn't measured in productivity or accumulation — it's measured in contribution. Every week you helped someone, cared for something, or showed up when it mattered is a week that counted.

"The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way."
— Marcus Aurelius

Your Death Date is free, independent, and will remain so. No ads. No tracking beyond what you explicitly choose to share. Just a mirror — and a question: what are you doing with the weeks you have left?
