Please note: The base Life Timeline is free to use forever, including all cloud backup and syncing features. A premium annual subscription is required to unlock advanced features like custom themes, artwork exports, and multiple timeline archives.
Open The Life Timeline and it snaps directly to This Week—your fixed position in an infinite scroll that stretches from the week you were born to the week of your 100th birthday. Scroll up, and the past fades into a gentle archival haze. Scroll down, and the future unfolds as a concrete, numbered runway: not an abstract "someday," but an exact count.
A Different Kind of Calendar
Most apps treat your schedule as an infinite list of things to do. The Life Timeline treats it as what it actually is: a finite resource you're spending right now.
Sync your Apple calendar and every future event transforms into a distance: You are 14 weeks from your anniversary. You are 312 weeks from your planned retirement. Tag anything with # and the app calculates the exact weight of the gap. The infinite scroll of social media replaced with the finite scroll of your own existence.
Your Data Is a File You Own
Most journaling apps store your life in a database on their servers. When they close, change pricing, or get acquired—your memories go with them.
The Life Timeline stores everything as a standard, human-readable Markdown file on your own iCloud, No proprietary format. No account required. If this app disappeared tomorrow, you'd still have every note, every tag, every memory in a file you can open on any device, in any text editor, for the rest of your life.
Built for Three Kinds of People
- The Data Sovereign: You self-host. You use iCloud for everything personal. You want a life-planning app that stores data in a format you actually control.
- The Practical Stoic: You practice Memento Mori to sharpen your priorities. You need to see the geometry of your remaining weeks to make better decisions today.
- The Legacy Builder: You think in decades. You want daily calendar entries to automatically become part of a generational archive you can hand to your children.
