REMEMBER THE VALUE OF TIME

Death-Watch transforms your Apple Watch into a powerful philosophical tool that counts down to a significant date in your life. By maintaining awareness of time's passage, you gain perspective on life's finite nature and are empowered to make more intentional choices about how you spend your days.

A MODERN MEMENTO MORI

For centuries, philosophers, artists, and thinkers have practiced "memento mori" – Latin for "remember you must die" – as a way to contemplate mortality and live more meaningfully. Death-Watch brings this ancient wisdom to your wrist in a minimalist, elegant interface that serves as a constant reminder of life's most valuable resource: time.

PRECISE COUNTDOWN TO YOUR CHOSEN DATE

Death-Watch allows you to set a personally meaningful target date – whether it's a milestone birthday, a significant anniversary, or a date of personal significance. The app then displays a precise countdown in:

• HOURS: For immediate awareness of time passing
• DAYS: To plan your short-term priorities
• WEEKS: For broader perspective on life's journey

The continuous countdown serves as a gentle but powerful reminder that each moment matters, encouraging mindfulness and intentional living.

ALWAYS VISIBLE ON YOUR WATCH

Death-Watch integrates seamlessly with your Apple Watch experience:

• WATCH COMPLICATIONS: Add the Death-Watch complication to your favorite watch face for constant awareness
• WIDGET EXTENSION: The "Death-Watch" widget provides at-a-glance information without opening the app
• CUSTOMIZABLE DISPLAY: Choose which time unit (hours, days, or weeks) is most meaningful to you

A TOOL FOR LIVING, NOT ANXIETY

As the Stoic philosopher Seneca wrote: "It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it." Death-Watch helps ensure you don't waste the time you have.
