Choose Apple Health while creating or editing a habit, streak, or Aim. Select a metric, goal, period, and optional filters. Left then reads only the Health data you allow and updates the item automatically. See the Apple Health tracking guide.

Fasting supports open, automatic, overnight, sunrise-to-sunset, and custom windows. You can use reminders, Live Activities, widgets, history, and statistics. Read the Fasting guide. Fasting is not medical advice.

Focus alternates configurable focus, short-break, and long-break phases. It also includes timer styles, notifications, Live Activities, widgets, and session history. See the Focus guide.

Widgets work fully offline. Your habits, dates, and settings live on your device and sync via iCloud if enabled. Shared habits and joint countdowns sync through your Left account. See the privacy policy for full details.

Widgets are rendered by iOS on a schedule controlled by the system, so Left doesn't keep running in the background between refreshes.

When creating or editing an event in Left, tap the Repeat option and choose Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly or Yearly. The countdown resets automatically after each occurrence.

Yes - Left supports joint countdowns with friends. Both people need a Left account. Go to the Friends section, add your friend by username, and then create a shared event together. You'll both see the same countdown.

Left uses an estimate based on age, gender, country, and optional health and activity factors. You can adjust your lifespan settings in the app. See the life expectancy calculator for the methodology.

Both of you need to be signed into a Left account. Send a friend request by username from the Friends section, and have them accept it. Joint countdowns and Shared Since become available once you're friends.

Left Wallpaper updates through Apple Shortcuts. Open the Shortcuts app and confirm the automation that runs your shortcut with Left's Wallpaper action is enabled. iOS may delay automations when the device is hot or in Low Power Mode.

Yes, many are. The time grid widgets (life, year, month, day and hour), Dynamic Time, the analog and digital clocks and Notes are free. Widgets that show something you create, such as a countdown, habit, streak, goal or planner item, need Left Premium.

• Home Screen: small (2×2), medium (4×2), large (4×4)
• Lock Screen: circular and rectangular (below the clock), and inline (above the clock)
• StandBy: full-screen widget stacks

1. Touch and hold the Home Screen until apps jiggle.
2. Tap + (top-left) and search for Left.
3. Pick a size, tap Add Widget.
4. Long-press the widget → Edit Widget to choose which event to show.

See the full Home Screen widget guide for screenshots.

1. Long-press your Lock Screen and tap Customize.
2. Tap the widget strip below the clock, choose Left.
3. Tap Done.

For StandBy: long-press a widget stack while in StandBy, tap +, and add Left. See the StandBy guide.

Left calculates time from the current moment to the target date in your local time zone. The countdown updates each time the widget refreshes, and iOS decides how often that happens. Opening the app refreshes it immediately.

Yes. When editing a widget (long-press → Edit Widget), you can choose the time unit (days, weeks, months, hours or minutes) and whether the text shows the amount left, the percentage left or nothing. The available options depend on the widget size.

The percentage view shows how much of a time period has elapsed. For example, if you're tracking the year, it shows what percentage of the year has passed. For a countdown event, it shows how much of the time between creation and the target date has elapsed.

1. Open the Left app at least once after installing.
2. Update to the latest iOS and the latest version of Left.
3. Restart your device and try adding the widget again.

iOS manages widget refresh budgets to protect battery. Opening Left refreshes all widgets immediately. Otherwise, the system decides when to refresh them. This is an iOS constraint that applies to all apps.

1. Open Left - this forces an immediate widget reload.
2. Remove the widget and re-add it.
3. Check Settings → Left → Background App Refresh is enabled.
4. If on Low Power Mode, widgets refresh less frequently - this is expected.

Open the Left app once to force a refresh. If the widget still shows a stale date, remove and re-add it - this resets the widget's data connection to Left.

iOS does not allow Home Screen widgets to display live seconds - they can only update periodically. Lock Screen widgets also follow this limit. For a live second-by-second countdown, open the Left app directly.

Left Premium unlocks everything, including unlimited countdowns, habits, streaks and aims, Planner, fasting, Apple Health tracking, friends and games. What is included for free and the current prices are shown in the app before you buy.

Open Left → Settings → Troubleshooting → Restore purchases. Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID you used for the subscription or lifetime purchase.

Yes. Left Premium is tied to your Apple ID, not a single device. On any device signed into the same Apple ID, tap Restore Purchases in Left's Settings to unlock Premium features.

Apple controls Family Sharing for in-app purchases. Check the in-app purchase details on the Left App Store page, or contact us if you need help.

No. Left is an iPhone app and has no Android version. You can try a simple version of the year and life views in your browser on the Left for Android page, which explains what is and is not available.

1. Make sure both iPhones are signed in to Left with the same Apple Account (or to iCloud with the same Apple Account, if you don't use a Left account).
2. Check that Left is up to date on both iPhones and that both have an internet connection.
3. Open Left on the iPhone that's missing data.
4. Wait a minute: sync is automatic, and its timing depends on the network.

Install Left on your new device. If you use a Left account, sign in with the same Apple Account and Left will sync your events and habits from it. Otherwise, sign in to the same iCloud account and Left will sync them from iCloud automatically. This may take a moment depending on your connection speed.

If you are signed in to a Left account, your events are saved to it. Otherwise they are stored in iCloud if sync is enabled. Either way this acts as an automatic backup across your devices. There is no manual export feature at this time. If neither is on, data lives only on your device.

Yes. Left works on-device without an account or iCloud. You can use the core app without cross-device sync. Sync uses your free Left account if you sign in, or iCloud if you don't. Shared features need the Left account.
