Visualizing time in interactive dots - one dot, one moment
Each dot in Left is a moment in time left- an hour, day, week, month or year. It's a simple way to see your time remaining, inspired by the idea that visualizing time changes how we think about it. As an app or a widget, dots that make you reflect.

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 :)
