Brush first. Then scroll. BrushLock locks the apps you choose — Instagram, TikTok, games, anything — during the times you usually brush. To get them back, you brush for two minutes. Not a button, not a promise: BrushLock checks your real toothbrush. HOW IT CHECKS • Any electric toothbrush: learns the sound of your motor and listens for it. Nothing is recorded. • Manual toothbrush, with the camera: prop the phone up at the sink and the front camera watches for your hand brushing. Nothing is recorded. • Manual toothbrush: a plain two-minute timer, and BrushLock tells you it isn't checking. BUILT FOR THE NIGHTS YOU SKIP • Windows for morning, after lunch and night — you pick the times. • A reminder when a window starts and before your streak breaks. Tap it and the timer opens. • Your streak grows every day you keep it. • An emergency exit that waits longer each time you use it. FAMILY MODE Set BrushLock up on your child's iPhone or iPad. A parent approves it with Screen Time, and a parent PIN protects the settings. Their games wait until their teeth are done. PRIVATE BY DESIGN BrushLock never learns which apps you lock — iOS keeps that to itself. No ads. Audio never leaves your phone. BRUSHLOCK PRO BrushLock needs BrushLock Pro to lock your apps. Everything included: all your windows, every verification method, family mode, full history and Apple Health. Start with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan, or choose monthly or lifetime. One purchase covers your whole family through Family Sharing.
