Life

The Life module shows a personal timeline — how many days you’ve lived, and how many remain based on a lifespan you set. It’s a quiet reminder of scale that some people find grounding and motivating.

If that framing doesn’t suit you, a neutral mode is available that replaces all mortality-focused language with plain timeline language.

First-time setup

When you open Life for the first time, TAP asks you to set up your timeline:

Suggested mode — choose a gender and TAP fills in a typical lifespan:

Female: 84 years
Male: 80 years
Other: 82 years

Then pick your birthday. TAP calculates the end date automatically.

Manual mode — set your birthday and choose your own horizon date. Use this if you want a different target, a specific milestone age, or just prefer to set it yourself.

You can update any of these settings later from the Life section in Settings.

What it shows

Days remaining (or “days left on this planet” in standard mode)
Breakdown — the same number expressed in weeks, months, and years
Progress bar — the proportion of your planned lifespan that has passed
Days lived — how many days from your birthday to today
Your birthday and horizon date for reference

Neutral mode

Toggle Neutral mode in Settings under Life to switch all the language to plain timeline framing — “Life Timeline” instead of “Time Left on This Planet”, no mortality references. The numbers are identical; only the wording changes.

After the horizon date

If today passes your set horizon date, TAP shows: “You reached your selected horizon. Every day now is borrowed.” (or the neutral equivalent). The countdown shows zero. Your dates remain visible for reference.

This is intentional — you can update your horizon date in Settings at any time.

Accent colour

The Life module uses an accent colour for the progress bar and day count. Change it in Settings under Life.
