Left is a time-awareness app built on one idea: your time is limited, and seeing it changes how you use it. Left turns time into something you can see, then helps you act on it with habits, streaks, countdowns, and a planner for your day. TIME LEFT See where you are in the year, month, week, day, hour, and your life. Each unit is a symbol; the past dims, what remains stays in view. Your life in weeks, year progress, and life progress, made tangible. Choose dots, symbols, colors, and layouts. A quiet, honest way to face limited time without it becoming morbid. HABITS, STREAKS & AIMS Left is a habit tracker for the person you are trying to become. Build habits on any schedule: daily, several times a day, weekly, monthly, or custom. Track streaks and protect them, count the days since anything that matters, and set reminders so nothing slips. And you don't have to do it alone: share a habit or streak with a friend, keep each other accountable, and send kudos, cheers, and encouragement when it counts. With aims, you have a flexible goal tracker for anything you can count, helping you build up or cut down. Stay on track and see your progress every day. AHEAD - COUNTDOWNS & DATES Add the dates that pull you forward: trips, birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, weddings, deadlines, retirement, and personal milestones. Count down to each one, import from Apple Calendar, and track both the days until and the days since. New: every Ahead date now has its own to-do list, so you can plan the small tasks that make the date happen and check them off as it approaches. Share an Ahead date with a friend, follow it side by side, comment, and add to-dos together on joint dates. PLANNER Planner pulls everything that matters into one beautiful, time-first view: your habits, streaks, Ahead dates, Apple Calendar events, Apple Reminders, weather, sleep, and workouts, together at last. Not another calendar, but a clear, calm picture of what the day is actually asking of you. Because everything lives in one place instead of five apps, Planner is a quiet ally for ADHD minds: see the whole day at a glance and miss nothing. Two new widgets come with it: a Planner widget and a Calendar widget for your Home Screen. FASTING TOOL A simple yet beautiful fasting tool inside Left. Pick a fasting window, start it in a tap, and follow every fast live from your Lock Screen, widgets and the Dynamic Island. Your history and stats are all there too. WHY LEFT Other apps give you habits without design, or aesthetics without depth. Left combines both: the widget range, the design quality, and the full set of time tools, in one app made with restraint and taste. Left requires a Premium plan to use its features. Choose a weekly, yearly plan or a one-time lifetime purchase to unlock everything. Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Features

Build any widget you want for your iPhone, Lock Screen or Mac, just by describing it. Tell WidgetAI what you have in mind. It designs and builds the widget while you watch, then you refine it in plain language until it's exactly right. Show it a photo of a look you like, or a screenshot of what's wrong, and it works from that. When it looks the way you want, it goes straight to your Home Screen. Start from a template or from a blank canvas. No menus, no hundred toggles. Type what you want and watch it appear. WHAT YOU CAN BUILD The widgets the big template packs will never make for you: - A countdown to your next flight - Your favourite photo, or one you pick, with the date over it - Your GitHub contribution streak, and nothing else - A stock you're watching, with your own target price - Days since your last coffee - The weather, but only when it's actually cold - Your next meeting, the way you'd actually want to see it - Small and medium Home Screen widgets, plus circular, rectangular and inline Lock Screen widgets If you can describe it in a sentence, you can put it on your screen. DESIGN IT YOUR WAY One sentence is all it takes to try a whole new look. Classic, minimalist, monochrome, retro, brutalist. Tweak the fonts, colours, layout and mood until it fits your Home Screen today. Change your mind tomorrow. Widgets look right in the tinted and Clear Home Screen styles too. CHANGE IT WITHOUT ASKING Ask for a control and the widget gets one: a colour, a city, a target date, a number. Change it yourself in the app, no AI edit needed. CONNECT REAL DATA Your widgets can show live information, not just static art: - Your photos - Weather and air quality - Calendar and reminders - Health and activity - Battery - What's playing in Apple Music - Stocks and crypto - GitHub activity - World clocks - RSS and news feeds - Any HTTP API you can point it at Once a widget is on your Home Screen it keeps itself up to date. LEARN AS YOU GO Nine short built-in guides take you from your first widget to custom data sources. PRIVATE OR SHARED Keep your widgets to yourself, or publish the good ones for other people to use. PRICING Free to try: 1 widget and 10 AI edits a month, and you can build and preview before you ever pay. Pro: 50 AI edits a month, unlimited widgets, premium templates and custom HTTP APIs. Max: 250 AI edits a month, everything in Pro. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.getwidgetai.com/legal/terms Privacy Policy: https://www.getwidgetai.com/legal/privacy

Verdict

The call
