# Morbid Life-Affirming Plug-Ins The Death Clock Reminds Keeps You on Task and Appreciating Life By Michael Hines | Published 2017-04-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/death-clock References: [producthunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/death-clock) & [chrome.google](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/death-clock/nddjbfjdamhcmdcghehomomgppbigjam?ref=producthunt) The Death Clock is a new browser extension designed to encourage people to never take life for granted. The Google Chrome plug-in does this by launching a "[death countdown](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faketimer)" every time you open a new tab. Displayed is a picture from some exotic location and a countdown of the days, hours, minutes and seconds you have left. There's no word on how the Death Clock calculates this, though. The sample screen shots show a person with about 56 years of life left. Although it's a bit morbid the Death Clock is a nice reminder to [seize the day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/box-breathing-buddy). The fact that it opens up every time you launch a new tab, which for most means getting sidetracked from something more important, should help keep many on task. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Life-affirming Plug-ins:** Developing browser extensions that promote life-affirming habits can be a new trend in tech. - **Mortality Reminder Tools:** Creating tools and technologies that remind people of their mortality can be a trend in mental health and wellness. - **Digital Self-awareness:** Developing digital tools that help users monitor and track their daily habits and behaviors can be the new trend in personal growth and development. ### Who This Affects Most - **Technology:** Tech companies can use the trend of developing life-affirming plug-ins and tools to create products focused on wellness. - **Mental Health:** Mental health professionals can use mortality reminder tools to help patients understand their behaviors and actions on a deeper level. - **Personal Development:** The trend of digital self-awareness can be a disruptive innovation opportunity in the field of personal growth and development. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Time Awareness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-is-too-short1.md) - [Progress Tracking Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/time-ticker-extension.md) - [Time-Limiting Browser Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/browsetimelimit.md) - [Digital Retirement Timers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retirement-countdown.md) - [Real-Time Year Countdowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daysleft.md) - [Time Awareness Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-just-one.md) - [Minimalist Time Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabtimer.md) - [Browsing Productivity Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/browser-time.md) - [In-Browser Time Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-progress.md)
