Left

What Left is

Left is a time and planning app that displays remaining time and gives users tools to organize habits, goals, dates, and daily activities. Its widgets show progress across the year, month, week, day, hour, minute, and life on the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy. Habits, streaks, and Aim can be tracked manually or updated from Apple Health. Ahead supports countdowns for custom dates, calendar imports, and special dates shared with friends. Planner combines Apple Reminders, calendar events, habits, streaks, weather, sleep, and workouts in a single view. An Apple Watch app provides access to time progress, Planner, habits, aims, streaks, and Ahead countdowns. Left also has a configurable Pomodoro-style focus timer and fasting tools with reminders, widgets, Live Activities, history, and watch controls. Users can add friends by username to share dates, habits, and streaks. Personal Mood entries are stored as State of Mind data in Apple Health, and Left says it never uploads Health history. Widgets work offline; habits, dates, and settings can sync through iCloud, while shared items sync through a Left account. The free plan costs nothing. Left Premium is a lifetime purchase, with its price shown in the app before purchase.

Who it suits

Left suits people who want time progress, habit tracking, countdowns, and daily planning in one app, especially those using Apple Health, Reminders, Calendar, or Apple Watch. Its friends features can also suit people who want to share dates and habit or streak progress.

Getting started

1. Visit https://getleft.app/.
2. Use the free plan at no cost.
3. Install Left on iOS or macOS; the App Store listing identifies it as iPhone-only and requires iOS 26.0 or later.
4. Add widgets or consult the support guides for setup, syncing, Apple Health, Focus, and Fasting.
5. If you want shared items, add friends by username; shared items sync through a Left account.

Verdict

Pick Left if you want time widgets combined with habits, countdowns, planning, focus, or fasting tools in an Apple device workflow. The free plan includes core tools, while Premium is a lifetime purchase; consider another option if you need manual data export or use a platform outside the listed Apple platforms.
