Introducing Weekwise: See Your Entire Life as a Grid of Weeks
Weekwise renders your lifespan as a grid of weeks—filled for the past, empty for the future. Track milestones, create multiple profiles, and make every week count. 100% free and client-side.
Introducing Weekwise: See Your Entire Life as a Grid of Weeks
There's a moment that happens to most people at some point — a birthday, a loss, a quiet Sunday morning — where time suddenly feels real. Not abstract. Real. Like it's actually moving, and it's not stopping.
That moment is clarifying. And then it fades.
We built Weekwise to make that feeling available any time you need it — not as a source of dread, but as a source of focus.
Your Life in Weeks
A typical human lifespan is roughly 4,000 weeks. Weekwise renders all of them as a grid: rows of years, columns of weeks. Every box you've already lived is filled. The current week is highlighted. Everything ahead is empty, waiting.
It's a simple idea. But seeing it — all of it, at once — does something that calendars and planners can't quite replicate. You stop thinking in days and start thinking in decades. Priorities shift. The week you've been putting something off gets a lot less comfortable.
What You Can Do With It
Track Your Life Grid
Enter your name and birth date and Weekwise generates your complete life grid instantly. The default lifespan is 80 years, but you can set anything from 1 to 120 — whatever fits your planning horizon.
Your current week is always highlighted. Weeks you've lived are filled. You can scroll through years at a glance or zoom into specific periods.
Add Milestones
Click any week — past or future — to pin a milestone. First job. A relationship that mattered. A trip you took. A goal you're working toward.
Milestones appear as markers on your grid. Seeing your history plotted against the weeks is different from reading a list of memories. It's spatial. Patterns emerge. You see how long a phase of your life actually lasted, or how soon a future event is really coming.
Multiple Profiles
Weekwise isn't just for tracking your own life. Create profiles for your partner, your parents, your kids. Each profile has its own birth date, lifespan, and milestone set. Switch between them in the sidebar.
Seeing a parent's grid — how many weeks they've already lived, how many remain — changes how you spend time with them.
Configurable Lifespan
Not everyone uses the default 80 years. Adjust your lifespan to match your own estimate, family history, or simply how far you want to plan. The grid recalculates instantly.
The Philosophy Behind It
Weekwise is rooted in memento mori — the ancient Stoic practice of contemplating mortality to clarify what matters. Marcus Aurelius did it. The Stoics wrote about it extensively. Tim Urban's 2014 essay "Your Life in Weeks" brought the visual grid concept to a modern audience.
The idea isn't to be morbid. It's to be honest. Time is the one resource that doesn't replenish. Seeing it visualized tends to cut through the noise in a way that productivity apps and goal-setting frameworks rarely do.
You don't need Weekwise to tell you what matters. You already know. The grid just makes it harder to pretend you have more time than you do.
Privacy, By Design
We're serious about this one. Your birth date, your milestones, your life data — these aren't things that should live on a server somewhere.
Everything in Weekwise is 100% client-side. Data is stored in your browser's localStorage. Nothing is transmitted anywhere. No accounts, no sign-up, no analytics on your personal data.
Close the browser. Reopen it. Your grid is exactly where you left it.
