Life: Just One

I use this app widget on my home screen and look at it several times per day. Definitely puts my life into perspective and it looks really sleek. But unfortunately the highest you can put your life expectancy is 90. I had correspondence with the app owner who said he is unwilling to increase this, even with people living well past that now since he wants it to motivate people to live now instead of wait. While I understand this premise, it is also likely to lead to a lower life expectancy for those who use the app, due to them believing the constant reminder that they will die at 90.

Clear and concise!

Amazing app but why can’t I set the life expectancy to 100?? My life goals are to live to a healthy 100. Please please add this 😁

Thank you for creating such a wonderful app & sharing it on the App Store. This was exactly what I was after. The widget will always have a place on both my IPad & iPhone. Best wishes!

Thank you to Tim Urban for his powerful Wait But Why article and to Julien Lacroix turning it into an app / widget. Truly you guys, you have my most heartfelt gratitude. It’s a shortish article, sure. It’s mainly about leaving the world a better place than when we found it, ok nothing brand new. But I as I read, I cried - wept with grief, really - when I needed to, faced up to the fact that I was this far through my precious allotted time line a grown up (not one of those dang monkeys), accepted that although the waste so far was agonisingly painful and heavy with regret, it was not my fault, and finally, for the first time ever in my life, looked ahead at each of the oncoming empty boxes as an opportunity to flourish and either enjoy that diamond, or use it to make a future one (or someone else’s) more enjoyable (hopefully both). Thank you for the opportunity to change my perspective. Addendum: possibly embarrassed for writing so personal an app review, so I’m now going to go and read up on what this walrus guy is all about.

This thing is a waste as the positive reviews must be bots cause the app basically does nothing. No live countdown , no multiple situations, it’s being deleted cause no value on my phone. Stop ripping people off

I love the app. Very good color and looks sharp. Good ui. I wish though that we could view the color boxes by other metrics like weeks and years. And it would be really cool if it would pan out to see an overall view of it

I love this app and the concept around realizing just how little time we truly have. It’s scary watching the days, months, and years countdown but I love it. I have my life as a widget on my Home Screen, but I would love to see a widget for my iPhone Lock Screen that works with the new iOS 16 update. Another idea I think would be cool is if you could have a different countdowns. One as your main life countdown and then another that you can set for a specific date. Overall though, no complaints about this app. It’s free, simple, easy to use, and best of app, no personal data is collected
