A memento mori wallpaper that feels hopeful
Memento mori, “remember you will die”, is an old Stoic idea: keeping the limit in view makes today matter more. Hueyear turns it into something you see every time you pick up your phone, a grid of your weeks with the lived ones filled in and the rest still open, as a real Android live wallpaper that updates by itself.
A Stoic idea, on your lock screen
Seneca and Marcus Aurelius wrote about it; Tim Urban’s “Your Life in Weeks” drew it. Hueyear makes it live: one dot per week, about 4,000 for an 80-year life.
Perspective, not fear
The grid shows how many weeks are still ahead, coloured by the chapters you add. It nudges you towards what matters instead of counting down.
Or keep it smaller
Prefer a lighter reminder? Show just this year (365 dots) or this month, with today’s dot filling like a clock.
Your birth date stays on your phone
You enter it once so the weeks line up. No account, no upload, no tracking.
Questions, answered.
What does memento mori mean?
Latin for “remember that you will die”. Stoic philosophers used it as a reminder to live deliberately, not as something morbid.
How many weeks does the wallpaper show?
One dot per week of your expected life, about 4,160 for 80 years. You can set the expectancy yourself.
Is it free?
The year and month views are free. Life in weeks is part of Hueyear Pro, a one-time purchase with no subscription and no ads.
