Fewer is a macOS menu bar app. It shows the seconds you have left, ticking down in the corner of your screen. Computed from birth date, country and sex against actuarial data. A memento mori, not a forecast. Private, birth date never leaves your Mac. Always in sight, never in the way. For founders, stoics, and anyone tired of pretending time is infinite.
Every second, you have one fewer.
Fewer is a macOS menu bar app that counts down the seconds you have left
to live, computed from your birth date, country, and sex against real
actuarial life-expectancy data. It never leaves your menu bar. It never
sends a notification. It just sits there, ticking.
WHY FEWER EXISTS
Most productivity tools help you do more.
Fewer helps you do less of what doesn't matter.
Marcus Aurelius kept a reminder of death on his desk. Steve Jobs asked
himself, every morning, if today were his last, would he do what he's
about to do. You don't need a notebook or a ritual. You just need a
number, always visible, that only goes down.
WHAT'S IN THE MENU BAR
• A live, per-second countdown: LED dot matrix, split-flap (airport
board), Nixie tubes, LCD, or minimal text
• Or switch to an animated icon (hourglass, heart, flame, ECG…) that
reveals the full countdown on hover
• Animations tuned to feel alive, not frantic. Pulse, bounce, heartbeat,
at your chosen speed
A PHILOSOPHICAL REMINDER, NOT A MEDICAL PREDICTION
Fewer is a philosophical reminder, not a medical prediction. The
countdown is a statistical estimate based on public actuarial
life-expectancy tables. It is an average, not a forecast about you,
and must not be interpreted as medical, health, or psychological
advice. Country × sex gives you a number that's actually about you,
not an average of everyone.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your birth date never leaves your Mac. No account. No cloud. No
analytics. The app is small and opens instantly.
FREE TO START
Three display icons and the Factory theme are free, forever. A single
one-time purchase unlocks all 11 themes and all premium icons. No
subscription, no expiry.
WHO FEWER IS FOR
Founders who need to stop doom-scrolling at 11pm.
Writers who've been meaning to start the book.
Anyone who's read Seneca and wants something more than a tattoo.
Install it. Look up at your menu bar once an hour.
You'll know what to do.
"You could leave life right now. Let that determine what you do and say
and think."
Marcus Aurelius
Fewer. Live every second.
