If you're looking for further reminders of your mortality on top of those clogging up the news, you may want to look into the morbid Deadline app. This iOS-compatible app claims to be able to predict when you will die.
The app makes use of Apple's HealthKit app, which ironically was originally developed to give people the ability to monitor their bodies and analyze data to help them improve their health. However, the Deadline app uses various kinds of data obtained by HealthKit to predict how much time you have left on this earth down to the second.
The information used by Deadline includes gender, date of birth, blood pressure, height, sleep patterns and activity levels. The app's developers remind users that while Deadline uses statistical data to determine your date of death, no app can accurately predict your death with complete confidence.
