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.
