This app is a testament to how great apps can be! Simple, less size, no tracking / subscription, and so on.. Widgets for this app are also great! I really wish this app is recommended in App Store or more easily findable on App Store! Came across this app on X (Twitter). Feedback: I’m surprised that I can’t search for this App by name and find it easily in the search results. Is it because I already installed it? Still, it should show up in the results and have the Open button instead of Download, right? All recommendations are for other apps that are similar sounding (like Lyft) or that have the name left as a part of the title.

Thank you so much! We cannot control how App Store promotes the app and we are not going to fight on marketing with dodgy tricks to appear in search results easier. Hopefully the app will still grow by amazing users like you that just installs it and enjoy the app.PS: try the new update!
Really cool app, but buggy most of the time.

I really love the widgets to keep track of the progress of hours, days, months etc. They’re minimal and really useful. However, it seems that every time the app is updated, a new bug is introduced almost without fail. As a dev myself, I know this can sometimes be hard to catch as new features are added, but as an user my experience has been frustrating as have to keep dealing with the bugs and hope it’s fixed in the next update. I hope you can consider adding some kind of bug report feature so we can let you know when something is not quite right. As for everything else, keep it up. I truly believe you have something special here.
Developer Response
Hey there, Sorry to hear that! Can you please let me know what is broken? So I can fix it. If is the widgets in tinted mode, that is fixed already with the last update. Thanks!
Feature suggestion

I made the mistake of paying for the full version of this app before even checking out all the features. I’d rather not request a refund because the app itself looks neat, just like everyone says. May I suggest a widget where you can set minutes for a certain period? Example: how much time you have between now and a specific time of the day? I wanted to use this app for my son who has ADHD and has a hard time thinking about the passage of time/how much time is left for a task. thanks!
Developer Response
Hi there,Thanks for your message and for supporting the app, even if it wasn’t exactly what you expected at first.I appreciate the suggestion. The app is designed more for big-picture time visualization rather than short task timers, but I totally see how your use case makes sense, especially for helping someone understand time more intuitively.I’ll keep this in mind as I explore new ways to expand the app while keeping its core focus. Thanks again for the kind words.
Neat app with good looking widgets

I like this app overall and paid to unlock the extra features. My only gripe is that one of the widgets counting down the month looks deceptively like a calendar but the dots don’t line up with the days, they’re just a countdown. If there was a way to just offset the dots for the start of the month/have a calendar view that’d be awesome and the app would be perfect. I’ve been using the widget on my Home Screen for a couple weeks and thought it was a calendar the whole time until I looked really closely after being confused that the end of this month wasn’t on a Monday like it looks on the widget.
Developer Response
Thanks for the thoughtful review and for supporting the app! You’re right that the month widget can resemble a calendar at first glance. The dots are meant to visualize the passing of time in a different way, not to represent actual weekdays. The idea behind Left is to step away from traditional calendars and show time from another perspective. That said, I understand how the similarity could be confusing, and I’ll keep your suggestion in mind for future refinements. Really glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the widgets overall.
This update helps you and the people you care about start 2026 with more intention.
• Share Left+ Premium, free for a limited time: Give Left+ Premium to family and friends so they can set their own intentions, create personal time views, track what matters to them, and start the year with the same tools you use.
• New Habits overview widget: Allows you to track multiple habits in your widgets to have a control of what habits needs to be completed daily.
• Recurring dates in Ahead: Special dates can now repeat automatically, making it easier to manage anniversaries and birthdays, monthly expenses and subscriptions, weekly bills or chores, and standing meetings.
• More control over the You view: The You section now includes a new chart for a clearer visual overview, and you can hide the entire You view from Settings if you prefer a simpler experience.
• More accurate Dynamic Time widget: Fixed an issue with incorrect progress updates so your widgets now reflect the real progress of your day, week, or custom time period.
FROM PREVIOUS MAJOR UPDATE 2025.10
This update introduces a completely new dimension to Left: Since, a dedicated space for streaks and habits.
- Streaks: Create “time since” counters that automatically maintain your streak each day that passes. Ideal for tracking how long you’ve been learning a language, how many days you’ve been with your partner, how long you’ve stayed sober, or any other ongoing milestone.
- Habits: Turn any “time since” entry into a habit you log daily. The app measures habit strength with a clear, intelligent model and helps you stay consistent through analysis, widgets, and persistent Live Activity reminders.
- New widgets: A full set of widgets for both streaks and habits, designed to give you immediate context at a glance.
- iCloud sync: Your dates, streaks, and habits from Ahead and Since are now stored securely in iCloud. If you reinstall the app, everything comes back automatically.
- More control: You can now hide the You section if you prefer a more minimal setup.
-Refinements: Dozens of stability improvements, layout tweaks, and small fixes across the entire app.
The new section Since with streaks and habits requires iOS 26 or newer. If you encounter any issues, please reach out to cristianrus@hey.com. Thank you for your support!
