## FAQ

Q: Is Left free?
A: Yes. Time Left, over 20 widgets, You, Wallpaper, Friends, Time Between, games, and other core tools are free forever. Left Premium unlocks deeper ways to track habits, streaks, special dates, and your day.

Q: How does Left Premium work?
A: Left Premium is available as a subscription for as long as you want to use it, or as a lifetime purchase that unlocks the app forever. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.

Q: Why does Left calculate my time left?
A: Because time is easier to ignore when it stays abstract. Left turns years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and life progress into visible symbols so you can see what has passed and what remains.

Q: What are Ahead dates?
A: Ahead dates are countdowns for future moments: trips, birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, deadlines, retirement, or anything else you want to look forward to. You can import dates from Apple Calendar and share countdowns with friends.

Q: What's the difference between a habit and a streak?
A: A streak counts how long something has continued since a start date or reset. A habit asks you to complete something on a schedule: daily, multiple times per day, weekly, monthly, or custom. Both live in Since.

Q: Can I use Left with friends?
A: Yes. Add friends by username to share Ahead dates, habits, and streaks. Friends can keep you accountable on your streaks and habits, or share and join a special date ahead together.

A: Yes. Left syncs automatically between your iOS devices. Countdowns, habits, streaks, and friends sync through your free Left account.

Q: How does Apple Health automatic tracking work?
A: Connect a supported Health metric to a habit, streak, or aim, choose a goal and period, and grant access. Left then updates progress from the Health data you permit.

Q: What does Fasting track?
A: Fasting supports open, scheduled, overnight, sunrise-based, and custom windows, plus reminders, Live Activities, history, statistics, widgets, and Apple Watch.

Q: How does Focus work?
A: Focus alternates configurable work sessions with short and long breaks. It supports automatic continuation, overtime, notifications, Live Activities, history, widgets, and Apple Watch.
