Death Clock: a clock that, with the help of AI, tells you how many days of life you have left

20/06/2025

Death Clock, a tool created by Tiago Forte, a global leader in productivity, estimates —with the help of AI— how many days you might have ahead.

And the most powerful technology is not the one that automates.

It’s the one that reminds you that time is not recyclable.

What if artificial intelligence could help not only to optimize tasks?

What if it could also help you prioritize your life?

And all of this is the premise of Death Clock.

It’s not an app for planning the week.

It’s a brutal wake-up call: a screen that tells you: "this is what you have left."

The question, then, is inevitable:

What will you spend it on?

What does AI have to do with all of this?

The Death Clock combines advanced statistics with artificial intelligence to analyze 17 personal variables:

  • Current health
  • Daily habits
  • Family history
  • Environmental surroundings
  • Stress level and lifestyle

With that, it models your estimated longevity and turns it into a visible number: A countdown.

It doesn’t do this to scare you.

It does it to wake you up.

When the clock is on, everything looks different.

Knowing how many days you might have —even if it’s an approximate calculation— changes the perspective.

You procrastinate less.

You filter your meetings better.

You cancel commitments that don’t add up.

You make decisions more aligned with what’s essential.

The urgent loses strength.

The important gains clarity.

And that’s where AI stops being just a technology… and becomes a vital compass.

Did Death Clock worry you? AI can also help you live more intentionally

Not everything related to artificial intelligence has to be technical, cold, or automated.

It can also be a tool to:

  • Reconnect with the human.
  • Visualize the valuable.
  • Remind you of the finite.

The Death Clock does not predict your death.

It helps you understand the real value of each day.

Because the question was never:

How much time do you have?

The real question is:

How much will you live… for real?

Conclusion: living intentionally may be the best technology we have

Perhaps the true impact of artificial intelligence is not in productivity…

But in the vital clarity.

Not to program you.

But to remind you that time is running out.

And that the most urgent thing is not to automate, it’s to learn to live.

And what would you do if you knew how many days you have left?

Would you change your agenda?

Would you redesign your priorities?

Let me know in the comments.

Because perhaps the future is not measured in innovation…

But in intention.
