Why look at it this way
A single human life is hard to picture. Spread across one grid, it becomes startlingly small — and that's the point. Seeing every week at once turns an abstract number into something you can actually feel.
This idea comes from Tim Urban's essay "Your Life in Weeks." This version lets you switch between weeks, months, and years, mark your own milestones, and lay your timeline beside people from history.
Questions
- Is my date of birth stored anywhere? +
- No. Everything is computed in your browser. If you tick "Remember me," your date of birth is saved only in your device's local storage — it never reaches a server.
- Where does the life-expectancy number come from? +
- It's just a planning figure you set yourself. Change it to match your own assumptions; it only affects how many boxes are drawn.
- Why weeks? +
- Weeks are small enough that a whole life fits on one screen, but large enough to still feel countable. Switch to months or years anytime in Settings.
- What do the famous people show? +
- When you compare, each selected person's milestones and death are overlaid at the age they happened, so you can see where you stand against them.
