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).

TimeLeft shows you exactly how much time is left in your day, week, month, and year — then helps you make the most of it. Most of us lose track of time without noticing. TimeLeft keeps it visible: a clear, glanceable countdown for your day, week, month, or year, both in the app and available as widgets for both your home and lock screen. → Time, at a glance See a live countdown for your day, week, month, and year. Choose how it's displayed — hours, days, weeks, or percentage — whatever makes the most sense to you. → Goals for every horizon Set goals for today, this week, this month, or this year, and watch your progress build as you check them off. → Count down to what matters Add upcoming events — birthdays, deadlines, trips — and see exactly how long until each one arrives. → Widgets that keep time in view Add time-remaining, goal-progress, and quotes widgets to your home screen as well as time-remaining widgets to your lock screen, so you stay aware without opening the app. → Make it yours Choose from several themes and accent colors, and customize how time is displayed across every view. → A moment of perspective Open the app to a rotating collection of quotes about time, mindfulness, and making the most of what you have. → Do more with Pro Unlock unlimited goals and events, all widgets, themes, and app icons, and advanced settings.
