I find "weeks of life" the most familiar repeating pattern. Take a moment to realize there are "only" about 1000 weeks in 20 years. Now think about your weekly patterns and start counting down. Bonus depression for the morning, your chance of cancer doubles every decade.

#24Actually, I'd love a generalized countdown clock. Not necessarily for my lifespan, but set it up for goals like, "My side project will be profitable in 2 months."

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
I hope a progress bar would be too slowly moving to be of any use!
That's not what I meant. "18262 days" doesn't say much, but a progress meter (or maybe a pie chart with "Life lived" & "Life left") is more informative IMO.
But to be honest the App was something I quickly put together in a few hours and I didn't really consider alternatives to a countdown.

What about an app that does that?

#28This sounds like the perfect way to induce anxiety and hopelessness, ultimately resulting in depression.
This is a terrible idea.

#30For Pebble owners, a "watch app" would suffice?
