I love this app for its simplicity in look but also the features that it has! Sure, you could be a little stumped because the app cost money to unlock all the features, however it’s a one time payment, and you choose how much you think is fair! I use this to track the days I workout and I run and so on and most importantly of all, when I send an email for recommendation and feedback on the app, Christian Rus (the developer) actually responds to the emails I send! Every single one of them he has gotten back in usually less than a day! Try the app out it’s pretty cool and the purchase was worth it for me at least.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this thoughtful review!I do my best to respond quickly to every email, and I really appreciate feedback and suggestions, they genuinely help shape the app and its future updates.Thanks again for your support and for recommending the app to others :)
Incredible app w lots of potential

Amazing and exactly what I was looking for. Just needs some functions to get past half baked. Like notes is so bare bones, gotta hit enter so I can read the full note. A calendar scroll for notes would be neat. Removing photo from a card doesn’t work at the moment. And let me input my own death age manually. The blocks that fill in is really great but I HATE that it starts from the right going left and also that it isn’t perfectly aligned there’s an extra 2 on the right side for no reason. Why not 10 x 10 rows? Lastly, the your life in stages would be really cool if it was actually useful. Like if everything in track could be plugged into it and give me a look at how I spend my time that way? I’d like to hold onto this app for the rest of my life and I don’t regret the purchase. Pretty pls consider these suggestions. Thank u!

Thank you so much for your review and for the thoughtful suggestions!I’m currently working on improving the Notes experience. Notes weren’t originally a core part of the app, which is why they feel a bit bare‑bones right now, but I’m iterating on them so they become more useful and flexible over time.Regarding manually setting your own death age: that’s something I most likely won’t add. The idea behind the life view is to reflect the fact that we don’t really control how long we live, and the app tries to mirror that by not letting you arbitrarily choose a number. That constraint is part of the concept.I’m also working on making the charts more interesting and customisable. For now, they’re mainly meant as a quick way to see your life in different views, but I agree there’s a lot more potential there and I’m exploring ways to expand on it without losing the simplicity of the app.Thanks again for using the app and for taking the time to share detailed feedback, it really helps guide future updates.
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!
Wonderful App!

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.
Developer Response
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!
Thank you for using Left. Here is what is new in this update:
• More flexible habits
You can now define how a habit is completed by setting specific days of the week, a number of times per week, or a number of times per month. Habits (and streaks) now have a new year view to see your whole year at a glance.
• New week view
There is a new Week view in Left section, plus now you cans et up from Preferences which day the week starts for yours, so the Week view and the Week widgets adapts to you.
• Three new widgets
Time Ahead list' and 'Time Since list' display up to 7 dates so you can keep track of everything. With You' widget you can see your life progress in years, months, weeks, days and even hours. Additionally you can add a progress bar of the time left.
• Widget improvements
The Dynamic Time widget now supports a compact size and can display Calendar events. Time ahead, Habits and Time Since widgets now also support custom background photos, allowing deeper visual personalization across your Home Screen.
• New reminders and live countdowns
Set up and receive notifications when more than a chosen number of days has passed in a Time Since counter. For Time Ahead dates, a new Live Activity shows a final countdown as an event is about to finish.
• Refinements and fixes
Dozens of changes across the app with countless improvements, design tweaks, and bug fixes, listening to user requests to make everything more consistent and polished.
Thank you for using Left. More improvements and features will continue to roll out over the coming weeks and months.
