Brushlet turns brushing your teeth into a habit you actually keep. Meet Tony, your cartoon tooth. Morning and night, Tony guards the apps you choose — social, games, whatever pulls you in — and only unlocks them once you've brushed for a full two minutes. Skip it, stay locked. Brush, and you're free. WHY IT WORKS • Real accountability — using iOS Screen Time, Brushlet actually locks your chosen apps until you brush, not just another reminder you'll ignore. • A guided two-minute brush with a calm timer and a quadrant coach. • Streaks that stick — build a twice-a-day streak, with streak freezes for the odd off day. • Progress you can see — charts for brushes per day, morning and evening consistency, and your brushing rhythm. • Badges to unlock and a mascot who reacts to your day. • For kids and grown-ups alike. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps Tony guards. 2. Set your morning and evening times. 3. When it's time, your apps lock — brush two minutes to unlock. Your data stays on your iPhone. Brushlet never sees which apps you use — iOS keeps that private, even from us. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
