MyLifeAsData

Retired

Built in 2025. Retired in 2026. Preserved on purpose.

The first version completed its run.

MyLifeAsData began as a personal analytics tool for turning tracked life data into correlations and trends. The original service is no longer available. This page preserves what it was, why it mattered, and what it taught us.

What it was

A personal data workbench, before the next question emerged.

01

Bring your own data

Upload a CSV exported from a tracker, spreadsheet, or personal log.

02

Find relationships

Compare variables and surface correlations that were difficult to spot manually.

03

Explore change over time

Inspect trends across selected periods and turn raw rows into a readable picture.

Why it stopped

The product answered one question and revealed a better one.

Uploading historical spreadsheets could reveal useful relationships, but it asked people to do too much work before receiving value.

The lasting insight was not the dashboard itself. It was that personal data becomes useful when collection, interpretation, and experimentation form one continuous loop.

Retiring this version keeps that lesson visible without pretending the old service is still supported.
