LifeCounter
One question a day, and the time you have with your parents
LifeCounter gives you one question a day, with a short follow-up, so a one-word answer can grow into a few honest sentences. It also estimates how many more visits you may have with your parents, so you can plan your next one. Free, no ads, all on your device.
My parents live far away, and I see them about once a year. I'm Ryo, a product manager at a tech company in Japan, and I build apps on the side.
After I turned 30, I started noticing how fast time moves. I wanted to figure out what actually matters to me and to the people I care about.
So LifeCounter gives you one question a day. Each one comes with a short follow-up, like "What would you love to lose track of time doing today? Why does it draw you in?"
You can also add your parents and family. From how often you meet and the average life expectancy at your ages, it estimates how many more visits you may have together. The number is there to help you plan the next trip home.
Also inside:
- Your mood in one tap, a monthly look-back, and "a year ago today"
- A bucket list, with the date you achieved each one
- A Home Screen widget for today's question, with a one-tap mood in the medium size. The Write button and mood faces now stay visible on Tinted and Clear Home Screens
- Screens that still fit at the largest text size
If you skip a day, tomorrow just brings a new question. Everything you write stays on your device, and the app doesn't connect to any server. It's free, with no ads.
LifeCounter has been on the App Store in Japanese since March, and the English version came out this week. The questions were written in Japanese first, so if any of them read oddly in English, please tell me.
Here's one of the 365 for you: what would you like to tell family who live far away?
