Time is often seen as something that slips away—a countdown, a race, a number that reminds us of age and urgency. But what if time could be something we embrace rather than chase?

EverFlow is a deeply personal and reflective widget designed to shift the way we see time. Instead of just counting days, it celebrates life. It transforms abstract numbers into meaningful reminders, inviting users to pause, reflect, and appreciate the moments that shape their journey.

Challenge

We wanted to create a widget that wasn’t just useful but also meaningful. Many widgets track time in practical ways—counting down to events, showing calendars, or tracking habits. But they often feel transactional, turning time into something to manage rather than experience. With EverFlow, we aimed to go beyond that:

‍

• How do we make a simple number feel deeply personal?
• How do we transform raw data into something that evokes emotions, memories, and reflections?
• How do we help users feel more connected to time rather than pressured by it?

Our solution was to connect numbers with meaning—turning them into reminders of life’s journey, moments of reflection, and a celebration of simply being alive.

We wanted users to see time differently. Not as something slipping away, but as something to cherish.

Key Features

EverFlow offers a fresh experience every day, ensuring that time feels alive and ever-changing:

1. A daily refresh of meaningful numbers

Each day, EverFlow presents a unique set of numbers that reflect a user’s personal timeline. These numbers can include:

‍

• Total days lived – A reminder of the journey so far.
• Years lived – Not as an age, but as a testament to experience.
• Full moons witnessed – A celestial perspective on time.
• Next birthday countdown – A celebration in the making.
• Yearly progress (percentage of the year completed) – A visualization of time’s flow.
• Sunrise & sunset times – A gentle nudge to appreciate daily cycles.
• Upcoming full moons – A cosmic connection to time.

2. A daily thought to hold onto

Alongside the numbers, EverFlow provides a daily reflection—a quote, insight, or question—to deepen the connection to time. This isn’t just a motivational quote; it’s a thought-provoking message designed to shift perspectives, encourage gratitude, and inspire presence.

3. AI-powered content diversity

To keep every day fresh, EverFlow uses a combination of AI and structured logic to generate new, diverse numbers and reflections. This ensures that users always receive something new and relevant—never repetitive, always meaningful.

Visual style

EverFlow’s design is warm, reflective, and inviting. EB Garamond, a timeless serif, gives the typography an elegant yet personal feel. A soft, neutral color palette creates a calming atmosphere, letting the numbers and messages stand out. Hand-drawn illustrations add a playful, human touch, making time feel like a companion rather than something to chase. The clean, card-based layout with generous white space ensures every element has room to breathe. Together, these elements create a soothing, mindful experience—one that encourages users to pause, reflect, and appreciate the passage of time.

Outcome

EverFlow resonates with users seeking a deeper connection with time. Instead of feeling rushed or overwhelmed, they experience time as something to cherish. The widget subtly shifts focus from counting days to celebrating them, offering a daily moment of mindfulness. By combining numbers with meaning, EverFlow provides more than just information—it delivers perspective, gratitude, and presence. Users find themselves looking forward to each day’s unique insight, turning EverFlow into a small but powerful ritual. It’s not just a widget; it’s a new way to experience time with appreciation and wonder.
