Brush the full two minutes, every time. Hippobrush guides each part of your mouth with a gentle tap, on your iPhone or right from your Apple Watch, and turns brushing into a streak you will want to keep. Most of us stop well before two minutes, the time dentists recommend. Hippobrush keeps time for you, tells you when to move to the next quarter of your mouth, and shows you where you have been. Then floss, rinse, and you are done. FREE FOR EVERYONE - A calm 2-minute brushing timer: four 30-second quadrants with a gentle tap at each change - A live mouth map that fills in as you brush - Apple Watch app: start from your wrist and feel each quadrant change, no phone needed - A daily streak with a freeze for the day life gets in the way, plus achievements - Morning and evening reminders, and a nudge when it is time for a new toothbrush - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, watch complications, and a Live Activity on the Dynamic Island - Brushes saved to Apple Health - Brush-buddy challenges: invite a friend and keep each other going - Haptic-only mode for a silent brush - Your first Smile Check HIPPOBRUSH PREMIUM - Floss and rinse timers, so your whole routine lives in one place - Brush to your music: pick a song or playlist, and it pauses when your time is up - Profiles for everyone at home, with Kid Mode: a mascot that reacts as your child brushes, and stickers to collect - A 30-day dentist report as a PDF, ready for your next visit - Your full history and detailed stats (free keeps the last 7 days) - Smart Coach: personal brushing insights and answers from Apple Intelligence, on your device - Unlimited Smile Checks - Mirror mode, custom durations, and custom reminder times SMILE CHECK Take a photo of your smile and get a quick, general look at how your teeth look, with a score you can follow over time and simple brushing tips. Photos are analyzed privately by Apple Intelligence. Smile Check is not a dental exam. Requires iOS 27 and a device that supports Apple Intelligence. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account needed. Your brushing data stays on your device, and in your own iCloud if you turn on iCloud Backup. We never see it. Anonymous analytics can be turned off in Settings.

Toothbrush Timer & Habit Log

Features

PREMIUM β€” PURCHASE REQUIRED: All features described below are part of Pro and require a purchase: a weekly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Two minutes, twice a day β€” actually done. ToothCare is a 2-minute toothbrush timer and brushing habit tracker built for adults: a guided timer that walks you through all four quadrants of your mouth, a daily AM/PM brush log with floss and mouthwash, a streak that keeps you honest, and reminders at the times you actually brush. Most brushing apps are cartoon character apps or companions for one brand of electric brush. ToothCare is neither. It is a quiet, minimal habit tracker for grown-ups who already own a toothbrush and just want the routine to stick β€” no characters, no games, no hardware required. WHAT YOU GET β€’ A guided 2-minute session split into four 30-second quadrants, so no corner of your mouth gets skipped again β€’ Your streak front and centre β€” days in a row with both a morning and an evening brush logged β€’ One tap logs floss and mouthwash right next to your AM and PM brushes β€’ A quadrant coverage chart, built from your own timed sessions, that shows which corner you tend to cut short β€’ Morning and night brushing reminders, set to the times you really brush β€’ Every day you have logged, browsable in History β€” tap any day to fix a brush you forgot to tick PERFECT FOR β€’ Adults who want a plain brushing tracker, not a cartoon character app β€’ Anyone whose dentist said "two minutes, twice a day" and wants to see themselves actually doing it β€’ Habit builders who stay consistent when a streak is on the line β€’ Night-brush skippers β€” an evening reminder plus a softer night-mode timer make the PM brush stick WHY NOT JUST USE THE CLOCK APP? A plain countdown does not pace you through the four quadrants, does not remember whether you brushed this morning, holds no streak, and never shows you which corner you cut short. ToothCare turns the same two minutes into a routine you can see building, day after day. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Everything ToothCare records stays on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no cloud, no data leaving the device β€” and a one-tap "Delete all my data" in Settings. ToothCare is a habit tracker, not a medical device; its 2-minute, twice-a-day session simply follows published ADA and NHS brushing guidance, cited inside the app. PREMIUM (PURCHASE REQUIRED) ToothCare Pro unlocks the whole app: the guided 2-minute quadrant timer, the daily AM/PM, floss and mouthwash log, streaks, reminders at your own times, unlimited history, and the weekly, monthly and quadrant-coverage insight charts. Choose a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Download ToothCare, run the timer at your very next brush, and log day one of your streak tonight.
