  description

  Memento Vitae doesn't just show your life in weeks — it helps you reclaim it.
  
  Time slips away—how do you measure it? Memento Vitae puts it in your hands: every new tab shows your life’s calendar in weeks, months, or years—your choice—drawn from real expectancy data. Past time lived, future time left. Mark what matters—births, dreams, milestones—and see your story unfold.  
  
  It tracks your digital drift, too. Every minute on websites, stacked against your finite span. “You’ve spent 0.5% of your life here—worth it?” it asks. Seneca urged, “Life is long if you know how to use it.” Get inspired by Stoics like him, or wisdom from Socrates to Schopenhauer—quotes to fuel your purpose.  
  
  Unlike trackers or bland dashboards, Memento Vitae fuses cold truth with timeless insight—your time, your choices, lit by philosophy’s fire. It’s not just productivity; it’s living deliberately. Install it. See your time. Make it count. 
  
  
  
  
  
  Changelogs
  v1.1.0
   - Added a small dashboard showing you how many wasteful sites you've avoided and how much time you've saved by doing so, as well as showing you how many of the wasteful sites you kept on visiting and how much time you spent on them.
   - Added the ability to start, stop and see timers.
  
  v1.2.0
   - Added shortcuts to close a wasteful website via pressing Esc, or continue by pressing Enter

  Memento Vitae is a quiet browser extension built on one premise:
  
  Your life is a fixed quantity. Money, attention, and time are all withdrawals from it. The most honest accounting is in hours.
  
  Every new tab opens to your life calendar. Past lived, future remaining. Drawn from real life-expectancy data. The squares you've already used are filled. The ones ahead, mostly, are not.
  
  When a site has been taking too much of your time, Memento Vitae asks one question:
  Your time is limited. 1.17% of it has been lost here. How will you use the rest?
  You can leave. Or you can continue, with your eyes open. Either is your choice.
  When you shop, prices appear in hours of your life
  
  The dashboard does not show you what you wasted. It shows you what you reclaimed - sites you avoided, time you took back.
  
  Counsel from Epictetus, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Schopenhauer surfaces when it's useful. Not when it would fit on a coffee mug.
  
  Local-only. No account. No telemetry. No servers. The source is open.
  
  Free. It will remain free.
  
  Epictetus: Care take this moment. Immerse yourself in its particulars.
