Tempus Fugit
It escapes, irretrievable time.
“Sed fugit interea, fugit irreparabile tempus, singula dum capti circumvectamur amore.”
Tempus Fugit (“It escapes, irretrievable time”).
A new-tab extension that encourages productivity by showing an estimate of your remaining time in this world, based on WHO life-expectancy data. A quiet reminder of life’s finitude, designed to help you focus on what matters and make each day count.
