About

Remember you must die.

Memento mori is a Latin phrase the Stoics kept close: remember that you are mortal. Not to frighten, but to clarify. When the end is abstract, days blur. When it is counted, they sharpen.

The grid

A life of eighty years is about four thousand one hundred and sixty weeks. Small enough to fit on one screen. We draw one square per week: filled for the ones you have lived, open for the ones still ahead, and a single marked square for the week you are inside right now.

The reminder

Once a day, at the hour you choose, we send one line — written by you — to your inbox or your phone. Use the {weeks_left} token and it fills itself in. Pause it whenever the weight gets heavy. Nothing here is meant to be morbid.

The poster

Download your grid straight from the dashboard — A3, A4, A5, A6 or US Letter for print, or a screen wallpaper — in Paper & Ink, Noir & Gold, or Midnight Indigo.

Your page

Every account gets a page at /u/your-name with your grid, your zodiac sign and your links. It stays private until you decide otherwise.
