Show HN: Life in Weeks – Desktop wallpaper showing your life as a grid of weeks

https://life-in-weeks-coral.vercel.app/
2•disruptdag•2d ago
I built open-source cross-platform desktop app that turns your wallpaper into a visualization of your life in weeks, inspired by Tim Urban's Wait But Why post.

Each square is one week. It updates automatically every Monday. You can visualize your entire life, the current year, or next N months. Tech details:

Rust for the CLI (generates wallpaper images with cairo) Tauri for the cross-platform GUI Native wallpaper setting for Windows/macOS/Linux Automatic scheduling via Task Scheduler/launchd/systemd ~5MB CLI binary, ~15-20MB GUI installer

Three modes:

Life mode - see weeks lived vs remaining (requires DOB) Year-end - weeks until December 31st Next N months - focus on upcoming time
