What Left is
Left visualizes remaining time and brings habits, countdowns, and planning tools together in an app for iOS and macOS. Widgets can display year, month, week, day, hour, minute, and life progress on the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy. Habits, streaks, and Aim can be tracked manually or updated using Apple Health data. Ahead supports countdowns for custom dates, calendar imports, and shared special dates with friends. Planner combines Apple Reminders and calendar events with habits, streaks, weather, sleep, and workouts. Left also includes an Apple Watch app, a configurable Pomodoro-style focus timer, and fasting tools with reminders, widgets, Live Activities, history, and watch controls. Widgets work offline; habits, dates, and settings can sync through iCloud, while shared items sync through a Left account. The free plan costs nothing and includes time tools, 20+ widgets, and other core features. The App Store listing identifies the app as iPhone-only and requiring iOS 26.0 or later.
