Make every day count. Live your life to the fullest.
Life is beautiful and short. This simple truth became profoundly clear to Michael Michelini, founder of AliveFor, as he witnessed friends and family come and go in this world. Each passing reminded him that we must appreciate every single day we have on this earth.
The inspiration to upgrade AliveFor came in late August 2025, following the passing of Michael's beloved Aunt Barbara. Her death was a powerful reminder that time is our most precious resource - one that we often take for granted until it's too late.
While AliveFor has existed online since late 2019 in a basic form, Aunt Barbara's passing inspired Michael to transform it into something much more meaningful - a comprehensive platform that helps people visualize and appreciate their time on earth.
AliveFor exists to help you understand the preciousness of time. By visualizing your life as a countdown, we aim to inspire you to:
AliveFor is designed to be more than just a calculator - it's a comprehensive data ecosystem for appreciating your life and the time you have:
While it may seem scary to think about death, it is also profoundly powerful. Acknowledging our mortality doesn't diminish life - it enriches it. When we truly understand that our time is finite, every moment becomes more precious.
This awareness can transform how we live. It can inspire us to have difficult conversations, pursue meaningful goals, spend quality time with loved ones, and stop wasting energy on things that don't truly matter.
You have been given this one precious life in this form on this earth. Make every day COUNT. Don't wait for tomorrow to live the life you want - start today.
