About this app

WeCroak, as seen in Recode, 10% Happier, Atlantic Magazine and The New York Times.

Find happiness by contemplating your mortality with the WeCroak app. Each day, we’ll send you five invitations at randomized times to stop and think about death. It’s based on a Bhutanese folk saying that to be a happy person one must contemplate death five times daily.

The WeCroak invitations come at random times and at any moment just like death. When they come, you can open the app for a quote about death from a poet, philosopher, or notable thinker.

You are encouraged to take one moment for contemplation, conscious breathing or meditation when WeCroak notifications arrive. We find that a regular practice of contemplating mortality helps spur needed change, accept what we must, let go of things that don’t matter and honor things that do.

We’ve also added features to make WeCroak work with your modern life.
• WeCroak only sends notification between 7 AM and 10 PM
• Open the app once per week to keep receiving your five daily WeCroak invitations at randomized times

Ratings and reviews

When I heard about this app I thought it was interesting and would give it a try. The first time you get a pop up to remind you that you're going to die, I will admit it's a bit unnerving. The quotes were interesting and they did make me stop & think. However, I am uninstalling the app because I am getting WAY more than 5 reminders a day. At one point I was getting a reminder 2 minutes after I just read another one I had just received. No way to adjust that and it's become harassing.

This app does what it says. It sends 5(+) quotes per day that help in contemplating death. I don't mind the semi-frequent notifications, and overall I think the app is great. Now that I've had it for over a year though I am seeing a lot of the same quotes a lot. It would be nice to get some new ones and from different sources (might I suggest the untapped vein of Caitlin Doughty?). However, the lack of variety in quotes is not bothersome enough for me to remove any stars.

This app does exactly what it says it will do: it reminds you randomly five times a day that you're going to die. I Iike that there are no whistles and bells and you don't spend a lot of time on it. Its simplicity is powerful. The quotes start recycling after a month or two, though. I wish we had new quotes. I wouldn't mind paying for this app to keep it updated with an evolving array of quotes. It would be worth a one-time payment or small monthly fee.
