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. POMODORO FOCUS A calm Pomodoro timer inside Left. Choose your focus and break lengths and one of four timer styles, start a session in a tap, and follow it live from your Lock Screen, widgets and the Dynamic Island. Your focus history is all there too. 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/

Command Control

Features
Read full description

Command Control gives you the power to query any JSON API and organize exactly what you need into a personalized dashboard on your iPhone. Stop jumping between terminal windows, web tabs, or multiple app layouts. Gather, extract, and combine data streams from completely different sources into a single, clean Command Control application tailored to your exact workflow. Build dynamic triggers with ease. Command Control lets you add custom parameters, free-text inputs, and predefined dropdowns to execute targeted commands across any web service from one centralized location. Query any system using URL Parameters, Query Parameters, POST/PUT payloads, or GraphQL. The app supports robust, secure authentication protocols including API keys, Basic Auth, client-side certificates, and login redirects. Once your data flows in, you control the presentation: hide messy fields, format raw values into human-readable strings, perform calculations, stitch text fields together, and display nested images in custom layouts. Take automation a step further by chaining commands together. Automatically extract authentication tokens or data lists from one API to dynamically populate a persistent dictionary used by another. With custom pre- and post-execution scripts, a single tap can trigger complex, multi-service workflows seamlessly. Key Features: - Deep Organization: Group your APIs into recursive nested folders and style them with custom names, symbols, and hex colors. - Visual Key Path Selector: No more typing out complex or error-prone JSON strings manually. Browse your API payloads and pick your data mapping visually. - Interactive Data Actions: Turn any rendered data row into an actionable button. Tap a field to execute a secondary command, passing dynamic values from that specific row into the next request. - Full Protocol Support: Handles all standard HTTP verbs, path variables, URL queries, custom headers, JSON bodies, and raw payloads. - Advanced Form Handling: Full compatibility with both multipart/form-data and x-www-form-urlencoded payloads. - Native GraphQL Integration: Write clean GraphQL queries and map variables using hardcoded values or interactive user inputs. - Enterprise-Grade Security: Supports Basic Authentication and custom client-side .p12 certificate loading with password protection. - Instant Local Search: Filter massive, nested JSON responses in real-time with a built-in search interface directly over your rendered results. - Smart Text Processing: Native Markdown support automatically styles rich text, headers, and hyperlinks returned by your APIs. - Granular Automation: Set up periodic background tracking to autorun your commands at precise intervals (seconds, minutes, or hours) while the app is active. - Intelligent Layout Engine: Design gorgeous data lists with fully configurable cell styles (including square images, banners, and multi-row alignments), tabular footers, custom sorting rules, and advanced inclusion/exclusion filters. - Smart Data Filtering: Clean up your views by configuring rules to automatically skip boilerplate layout tiers or isolate key objects. - Persistent Value Dictionaries: Create global variable lookups that can be filled manually or fed automatically via key-path extraction from previous API runs. - Built-in Math Operations: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide raw payload numbers to compute totals or evaluate states directly in your view. - Remote Push Notifications: Receive instant alerts from your external servers or scripts by POSTing payloads straight to our secure endpoint using your private API key. Track execution history in a dedicated, in-app notification log. - Seamless Portability: Easily backup, transfer, or share your custom dashboard layouts using JSON configuration import and export tools.
