“Like all good things in life it’s free”. What do you feel when you hear this expression? Do you think this app description suits an app called iDie? Incidentally, it is exactly that. Like its cousin, Death Calc, iDie on your iPhone is there to constantly remind you about the remaining days/weeks/months of your stay in this good old planet earth.

Using it is one of the simplest things in life though. Just  open the app and enter your date of birth from the scrollable DYM options. Based on a calculation by the US Social Security Administrator’s Actuarial Life Table from 2004 calculates the life expectancy of any persons to the minute and morbid details –to the point of telling you that you will die in days, minutes  and  seconds beside reminding you what percentage of your life have you spent so far.

To add a twist to the morbid flavor, this app is available in the, where else, but the “Entertainment” category.

Well, maybe not everything is lost. There is a positive side to everything. For instance, if you have an incredibly positive outlook towards life, you may jolly well see this long final countdown from a positive point of view. You might just speed up your work. And end up being more productive in your work.

How are you going to use it is your choice. I leave it to you to figure out the ways you wanna use iDie.

Worth a try, as it is as free as the air and life.
