No notifications. No ads. No sign-up. Just you and your time. TIME LEFT DESCRIPTION Sometimes life seems really short, and other times impossibly long. This app will help you to emphasize that it’s most certainly finite. Time Left shows you, the days, months, and years you have left and that they are all you have got. Don’t be afraid, that means the only appropriate word to describe your time left is “precious”. So I hope this app will enable you to create a life in which you will be happy and creative. WHAT ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY? I think Privacy is a fundamental human right. To that end, I have designed Time Left from the ground up without any external framework. In this way, your data, like your birthdate, stays entirely private. HOW CAN YOU HELP ME? As I don’t collect any data on this app, to improve it I need your help! You can send me an email to julien@lacroix.dev for any feedback, issues, or bugs on this app or just to say “Hello!”. I answer every email! ********** A special thank you to Wait But Why for this amazing article (https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html). Without their work, this app would not have seen the light of day. ********** TIME LEFT PRO - Unlock widgets & skins. - Unlimited moments. - Live Photos in Life Calendar. - Automatically access all future features and widgets. - Support an indie developer. ********** Terms of Use: https://gettimeleft.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://gettimeleft.app/privacy

ScrollSnack helps you create a little space between you and the apps that pull you in. Choose the social, video, game, or other apps and categories you want to keep blocked. When you genuinely need to check in, take a 5- or 10-minute ScrollSnack. When time is up, your selection is blocked again. FEATURES • Select apps and categories privately with Apple’s Screen Time picker • Keep selected apps blocked by default • Take intentional 5- or 10-minute unlocks • Set optional daily boundaries when quick unlocks are unavailable • See the unlock minutes you’ve granted yourself today and your rolling 7-day daily average • No account, ads, analytics, or feed Your selected apps, settings, and unlock history stay on your iPhone. ScrollSnack uses Apple Screen Time authorization to apply app shields. It does not report your system-wide Screen Time or measure exactly how long you spend in other apps.
