Left transforms how you perceive time through elegant dot visualizations. Each dot represents a unit of time - whether it's days, weeks, months or a broader perspective of your life's journey. A new approach to make the most of every moment.
Hello everyone 👋, this is Cristian, the maker of Left, and I want to give you a quick overview about my app!
Two months ago, I came across Tim Urban's fascinating post about visualizing life in weeks. That visualization changed my perspective on time completely, so I decided to turn this concept into something I could see daily, in my home screen.
What's Left about?
It's a simple idea: turning time into interactive dots. The app gives you three perspectives:
- Your life journey (each dot represents a week)
- This year's progress (perfect for staying on track with yearly goals)
- Your month at a glance (for those day-to-day moments)
I also created widgets so you can keep these time visualizations right on your home screen. You canals change colors, add special moments and a few hidden extra features.
Yes, it is completely free. This started as a side project while working on other apps and my actual job. I want to keep it that way - just a helpful tool anyone can use. No ads, no subscriptions, no hidden costs. While I might add some premium features later, what you get now will always be there for free.
What's next?
- More time perspectives (a custom date, day, week and a few funny ones)
- Widget customization options
- Time travel
- Extra colour themes and icons
I know seeing your life in dots might seem daunting at first, but I've found it oddly inspiring. Each dot is an opportunity - it's not about counting down, but making each moment count.
You can grab Left on the App Store ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/le... ) completely free. All I ask is a nice review and to spread the app, it helps!
Feel free to share your thoughts, suggestions and questions in the comments.
Thanks everyone :)
