Life Calendar

Your week count starts from your birth date (Monday of your birth week = week 1) and increments every Monday. Week 1,959 for a 37-year-old is simply 37 × 52 + extra weeks since your last birthday. The calendar shows up to 90 years by default (4,680 weeks), but you can set your own expected lifespan in settings.

Yes. Go to your profile and set any lifespan between 60 and 120 years. The entire calendar rescales — year tiles, month grid (lifespan × 12), and week grid (lifespan × 52) all update instantly. If you've seen the life-expectancy data for your country and want a realistic number, start there.

Year view (90 tiles) gives you the big-picture arc of your life — great for annual themes and multi-year phases. Month view (90 × 12 = 1,080 cells) is the sweet spot for most people — dense enough to feel finite, navigable enough to plan. Week view (90 × 52 = 4,680 tiny squares) is the famous 'life in weeks' view popularized by Tim Urban — maximum density, most visceral.

Yes — open Calendar view, click the week you want, and write or edit the entry. You can also use the prev/next arrows inside the entry modal to step through weeks without closing it. Journal entries are keyed by week (Mon–Sun), so logging something from yesterday usually means editing this week's entry.

Life phases are multi-week chapters — School 🎓, Work 💼, Travel ✈️, Marriage 💍, Parenthood 👶, and so on. They paint colored bands across your calendar so you can see the shape of your life at a glance. Journal entries are weekly text, photos, and mood; phases are the context around those entries.

Yes — future weeks show as empty cells until you live them. You can tag them with life phases (e.g., a planned sabbatical), schedule trips that paint colored bands forward, or see your projected FIRE year highlighted on the year grid. The visible contrast between past-lived weeks and future-empty weeks is the whole point — it makes remaining time tangible.

Weeks view has a zoom slider at the top. Slide right to fit 5 weeks per row (huge cells, easy to click), left to fit 52 per row (true 'life in weeks' look). Pinch-to-zoom also works on mobile. On desktop, scroll to pan; a minimap in the corner shows where you are in your life.

Yes — Pro users can order a physical print via the Print Poster wizard (under Calendar → Print). Choose size, theme, and whether to print journal titles on each week. Fulfilled via Gelato in 14 countries. Also exports as high-resolution PDF if you'd rather print locally.

Congrats — bump your lifespan up in Profile and the grid extends. Existing entries keep their week numbers; you just get more future cells. The calendar isn't a prediction, just a frame; you can set it to 100 or 120 if you're optimistic (or realistic, depending on genetics and decade).

You can export your calendar as an image or PDF and share that, or order a print poster as a gift. Direct shareable-link viewing is on the roadmap but not live yet — the trade-off is privacy (your journal entries live inside the calendar), which we'd rather get right than rush.

90 is the average upper-quartile lifespan across developed nations — most people live 75–90 years. Setting it as the visual default keeps the grid manageable while still being realistic. You can change it to 60–120 in Profile if your family history or health profile suggests differently.

Use a best-guess year + Jan 1. The week count will be off by up to 26 weeks but the long-term picture barely changes. You can adjust later if you find your birth certificate. Some adopted users use the date they were 'declared born' if that's what they have on paper.

Yes — Profile → Edit Birth Date. The whole calendar recomputes. Existing journal entries stay attached to their week (so an entry from 'week 1,234' will appear at a different chronological week if you shift the birth date). Most users change it once early on as they verify the date.

Each week is exactly 7 days × 24 hours. Week 1 starts the Monday of your birth week. Calculation is exact to the second when you load the page; the displayed number rounds down. The +/-1 week edge cases happen if you're born on a Sunday vs Monday — by international ISO standard, Monday begins each week.

Yes — life phases, life goals, and FIRE milestones all support future dates. Set a 'Sabbatical Year' phase for age 50, a goal marker for 'Pay off mortgage' at age 55, FIRE-target age 60 — they'll all appear on the year grid. The empty future weeks become tangible plans.
