ABOUT · About this site
MEMENTO MORI Lifespan Calendar visualizes the remaining weeks of your life in pixel art, helping you reclaim the courage to live each day fully.
CONCEPT
MEMENTO MORI Lifespan Calendar is a web application that converts your life into a week-by-week pixel grid, based on your date of birth and average life expectancy. Every week you've lived and every week ahead is rendered as a single tile.
Numbers alone rarely make mortality feel real. Seeing your remaining weeks laid out as a calendar communicates life's finitude and the value of each day at a glance. Becoming aware of "how many weeks are left" can be the small nudge you need to act on the things you've been postponing.
Beyond the calendar itself, the site offers a real-time countdown to the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second; a quest list (a bucket list) for the goals you want to accomplish; and a pixel-art character status panel — every feature is designed to help you face your finite time daily.
Your birthdate and saved quests are never sent to any external server — they are stored only in your browser's local storage. No account required, completely free, and ready to use right now.
