You check your phone an average of 144 times a day.

That is 144 times you unlock a glowing rectangle to seek a dopamine hit. Most people see a picture of their dog, a generic landscape, or a default gradient. They see nothing.

This is a wasted opportunity. Your environment dictates your behavior, and your phone screen is the most frequently viewed environment in your life.

The “Black Mirror” Problem

Your phone is designed to be a distraction machine. Every notification is a hook trying to pull you out of the present moment.

To resist this, you must weaponize the device against itself. You must turn the “Black Mirror” into a billboard for your own mortality.

Visual Priming

We built the Wallpaper Generator to solve this. It takes your specific life data—your age, your death date, or your retirement target—and burns it into a high-contrast image.

When you set this as your lock screen, something shifts. Those 144 daily glances become 144 reality checks.

• Instead of checking Instagram, you see “34% GONE” and remember that time is finite.
• Instead of doom-scrolling, you see “12 YEARS LEFT” and remember you have work to do.

It creates a millisecond of friction. A pause. “Do I really need to open this app, or am I just bored?”

Customize Your Reality

The tool allows you to choose your pressure:

1. The “Retirement” Target: For those focused on financial freedom. Watch the years between you and liberty tick down.

2. The “Memento Mori” Target: For the stoics. A raw count of the years remaining until your statistical death. It is not morbid; it is motivating.

Do not let your screen be a void. Make it a signal.
