Life Left App

Life Left is a minimalist life reflection web app that helps users visualize how much of their life may still remain, based on their age, retirement plan, and expected lifespan. The app is inspired by the memento mori philosophy, which encourages awareness of life’s finiteness so people can live with greater intention and purpose instead of falling into routine.

Based on the input, the following insights are displayed on the home page:

  • Current Age
    Shows how many years, months, and days the user has lived.

  • Remaining Time
    Displays the remaining lifespan based on the expected age.

  • Sleep Time Projection
    Estimates how much of life may be spent sleeping, calculated using an average of eight hours per day.

  • Work Time Projection
    Estimates the total time likely to be spent working, based on standard work hours and weekdays.

  • Actual Personal Time
    Reveals how much lifetime remains after accounting for sleep and work, highlighting the time available for meaningful and personal pursuits.

In addition to numeric insights, the app visually represents the remaining years of life using colored blocks, making abstract time more tangible and easier to reflect on.

Technology

The application is built as a lightweight single-page app using React for real-time calculations and dynamic UI updates. Tailwind CSS is used for responsive and consistent styling, while semantic HTML ensures clarity and accessibility. All calculations are performed entirely on the client side, with no backend dependency.
