Left
What it is
Left is a freemium time-planning app for iOS and macOS that visualizes progress and helps organize habits, countdowns, and daily tasks. Widgets show year, month, week, day, hour, minute, and life progress on the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy. Users can track habits, streaks, and Aim manually or with Apple Health data. Ahead creates countdowns for custom dates, imported calendar events, and shared dates with friends. Planner combines Apple Reminders, calendar events, habits, streaks, weather, sleep, and workouts in one view. An Apple Watch app provides access to time progress, Planner, habits, aims, streaks, and countdowns. Left also includes a configurable Pomodoro-style focus timer and fasting tools with reminders, widgets, Live Activities, history, and watch controls. Widgets work offline, while device data can sync through iCloud. The Free plan is free; Left Premium is a lifetime purchase with price shown in-app.
