Good Years

For iPhone. Nothing leaves the phone.

Two questions, answered together: how long people who answer the way you do tend to live, and how many of those years they typically spend in good health. The distance between them runs to about a decade across whole populations, and almost nobody knows roughly where their own sits.

The estimate screen: two figures side by side, a bar showing where good health typically ends, and the biggest single change worth trying.
Two figures side by side, and the distance between them.
A list of changes — quitting smoking, exercising, drinking less, sleeping seven to eight hours — each priced in years of life and years of good health.
Each change priced in healthy years, not in good intentions.
The retirement screen: choose an age to stop working, and see how many good years typically follow it.
How many good years typically follow the age you have in mind. Years, not money.
The about-these-estimates screen, explaining where the numbers come from and showing a hundred-person grid.
Every figure has a study behind it, one tap from the numbers.

What it does

Ten questions, about three minutes. Then two figures side by side, and a list of changes — each one drawn from studies that followed hundreds of thousands of people for decades, and priced in healthy years.

It collects nothing

No account. No sign-in. No analytics, no advertising, no third-party code that collects anything. The app makes no network requests at all — it works in aeroplane mode, and the App Store privacy label reads “Data Not Collected”.

Deleting the app deletes everything there is, and there is a button in Settings if you would rather not wait.

It publishes its workings

Every figure the app uses has its source and its verification status on one page: how the numbers are made. That page also says what the model cannot know, and what has been corrected since.

Good Years is an educational wellness app. The estimates it shows are based on WHO population statistics and published long-term cohort studies — they describe averages across large groups of people and are shown as ranges, never as a prediction about any individual. Good Years does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and is not a substitute for consulting a health professional. Everything runs on your device: no account, no data collection, ever.
