/what it does

a life in weeks, one entry at a time

Meaningful Life draws your whole life as a grid of about four thousand small squares — one for every week from the day you were born to your seventy-eighth year. The weeks you have lived are filled in. The week you are in pulses. The rest are waiting.

Tap a week to open it and write. Notes are kept by day, a week can be starred as meaningful, and up to five photos can be attached to any day. Setting up asks for one thing: your date of birth.

01

The grid

About 4,060 squares, one per week to the age of 78, all on one screen. Lived weeks are filled, the current one pulses, the rest wait. It is meant to be looked at, not managed.

02

The entry

Open any week and write by day. Star the weeks that mattered, attach up to five photos to a day, and link out to a full album when five is not enough.

03

The lenses

The same journal read six ways: Storyline, Highlights, Eras, Year in Review, Minimap and Goals. Nothing extra to write — only other ways to look at what is already there.

how it is paid for

Free, and honest about why

Meaningful Life costs nothing and shows no advertising. It earns through affiliate commission on the suggestions inside the Inspiration and Goal cards. A low-cost desktop version is planned; the mobile app stays free.

what that means for you

Tapping a suggestion means leaving

An affiliate link opens the retailer's own site, and from that point they see what their site normally sees. We receive aggregate commission reports only — never your name, address, payment details or order contents. Nothing you have written travels with the tap.

Commission disclosure: Aristourgima LLC participates in third-party affiliate programmes. Suggestions shown in Meaningful Life are affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.
