Make your time count. Pocket Life Countdown is a tiny, powerful reminder that your life is finite—and that the best return comes from investing time and money into meaningful experiences now. See how many weeks you likely have left, set goals that actually happen, and get gentle nudges that move you from intention to action. Why you’ll love it • See your life in weeks & days – a clear, motivating view of the time most people get. • Turn “one day” into a plan – create goals with due dates (trips, reunions, skills, bucket-list items). • Smart reminders, not spam – optional daily/weekly nudges and milestone alerts (like 30/7/1 days before). • Daily motivation – fresh, bite-size quotes to keep momentum. • Simple by design – no account required; open, glance, act. Designed for action • Book that trip you keep postponing. • Call your parents every week—on purpose. • Map out the next 12 months of experiences instead of hoarding them for “later.” • Track milestones leading up to your goal date so progress stays visible (and exciting). Features • Life countdown by years / weeks / days (customize your life expectancy). • Goal tracking with preset reminders (e.g., 90/30/7/1/0 days before). • Optional daily or weekly notifications at the time you choose. • Motivational quotes that refresh automatically. • Works great on iPhone; thoughtful layout on iPad. • Pocket Life Pro (one simple purchase): remove ads and stay fully in the zone. The mindset Pocket Life Countdown is built on a simple idea: don’t over-save your best years. Convert time into memories while it’s most valuable—when you can actually enjoy them. The app makes that philosophy practical: you’ll see your runway, pick what matters, and get timely prompts to follow through.

What day of your life is today? LifeCounter is a journal with one question a day. As you answer, you slowly see more clearly the time you have with your parents and family, and what truly matters to you. Add your birthday, and it also counts which day of your life today is. ONE QUESTION A DAY A different question for every day of the year. Each one comes with a follow-up that asks why, like "What would you love to lose track of time doing today? Why does it draw you in?" so a one-word answer can grow into real reflection. You can also speak your answer with the keyboard's dictation. YOUR MOOD IN ONE TAP Happy, Calm, Okay, Tired, or Sad. Log how your day felt with a single tap, then look back on each month's moods and on what you wrote a year ago today. TIME WITH THE PEOPLE WHO MATTER Add your parents, family, or friends to see an estimate, based on averages, of the years you have together and how many more times you might meet. A small nudge to plan your next visit. BUCKET LIST Keep a one-line list of things you hope to do someday, and who you'd like to do them with. What you achieve stays on the list with the date. HOME SCREEN WIDGET See today's question and log your mood right from your home screen. Tap Write to jump straight to your answer. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your iPhone. No servers, no ads, no tracking. Export your journal as text anytime. The number grows by one every day. We hope it helps you think about how to spend that day with the people you love.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LifeCounter at none against TimeLeft's 2. LifeCounter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
