Days to your State Pension widget for your Mac
Count down to the day you reach your UK State Pension age, right from your Mac menu bar. Wishbar turns plain English into widgets like this in minutes, using your own AI.
Days to your State Pension · A countdown to your State Pension date in years, months, weeks and days, from a date you give it, nothing else.
Made with 
Wishbar
Have Wishbar on this Mac? This opens it with this widget ready to make. Wishbar asks first, then your AI makes it in a few minutes.
The wish that made it, as typed into Wishbar:
Show me how long until my UK State Pension. I was born on 14 March 1978. Show the time left as years, months, weeks and days, recomputed every hour, with the date itself and my State Pension age underneath.
“A widget like this can be made for you from one sentence, to your taste. Nobody else will have it.”
No card needed. You bring the AI: a free ChatGPT account is enough.
“Wishbar turned a one-sentence request into a working Mac widget in minutes … I've stopped hunting for menu-bar apps; I just wish for them now.”
What it does
- Shows the time left as years, months, weeks and days, recomputed every hour.
- Shows the date itself and the State Pension age underneath, worked out from the birthday in the wish with the GOV.UK timetable under current law, with a link to that timetable and a note that future reviews may change it.
- When the day comes, it says State Pension age reached.
Where the data comes from, and what it needs
Nothing outside your Mac. No account, no key. It runs on your Mac and never goes online. Once made, it runs without your AI: it uses no Claude or ChatGPT tokens.
- Your date of birth, given in the wish
When it is useful
- A number that changes how a Tuesday feels.
- The same wish works for any date that matters to you.

Questions people ask
Where does it get my date?
From your birthday in the wish and the GOV.UK State Pension age timetable, which your AI reads once while it makes the widget. After that nothing is looked up anywhere.
Does it send anything anywhere?
No. It is a clock and a date, on your Mac.
Can it count to something else?
Yes: a holiday, a launch, a birthday. Same wish, a different date.
