+# Life Counter
+> How long do you have left?
+
+If you don't feel overwhelmed enough by your own mortality, download this app - and be reminded every day that your time is finite and depleting.
+
+## What it does
+
+Enter your date of birth in the app settings, and a grid of dots representing the months in your life will be displayed.
+
+Each dot indicates one month, and each column of 24 represents two years. A red dot indicates a month that has already passed, a white dot is one that has not. A flashing dot marks the current month - it will flash faster as the month approaches its end.
+
+The default number of years shown is 100. This can be changed, preferably to the average life expectancy of whichever demographic you happen to be in.
