Brush better in two calm minutes. Hippobrush guides every quadrant with gentle haptics, builds a daily streak you will want to keep, and logs each session to Apple Health automatically. A two-minute brush is what dentists recommend. Hippobrush makes it the easiest part of your day. Start on your iPhone or your Apple Watch, follow the quadrant haptics, and watch the ring fill in. Then floss, rinse, and you are done. WHAT YOU GET • Calm 2-minute brushing timer with four 30-second quadrants • Floss timer with the same quadrant guidance for thorough technique • Quick rinse timer for the last step of your routine • Brush to music. Pick any song or playlist, and the track auto-pauses the moment your two minutes are up • Daily streak with a built-in freeze for slip-up days • Apple Health sync for every completed session • Morning and evening reminders that stay quiet if you already brushed • Toothbrush replacement reminder so you swap heads every three months • Stats with weekly bar chart, monthly completion, and milestone gallery • History calendar so you can see every brush you have logged • Share your streak as a polished card whenever you hit a milestone • Mirror mode flips the timer so it reads correctly in a bathroom mirror • Haptic-only mode for a silent brush that will not wake a roommate FOR FAMILIES Add profiles for everyone in your household and share via iCloud, so a partner or a kid can brush from their own iPhone or Apple Watch and you both see the same streak. HealthKit writes stay tied to the primary profile, so your dental log stays yours. FOR YOUR DENTIST Export a 30-day brushing report showing frequency, average duration, streak, and recent sessions. Bring it to your next appointment. No more guessing at the chair. ON THE APPLE WATCH Hippobrush is watch-first. Start a brush from your wrist with one tap. Six complications, including circular streak, today-progress ring, streak flame, today-progress bar, inline streak, and quick-launch, mean the timer is one face-tap away. WIDGETS AND LOCK SCREEN Home Screen widgets show your streak, today's progress, and your week. A Lock Screen widget keeps your streak visible without unlocking. A Live Activity rides along on your Dynamic Island and Lock Screen while the timer runs. HIPPOBRUSH PREMIUM Try Premium free for 3 days.

BrushBeaver makes brushing easy to keep track of. Log a session in one tap, or let the guided timer record it for you. Use your iPhone on its own, or Apple Watch to brush without watching the screen. FREE EVERYDAY TOOLS • One-tap logging from the app or an interactive widget. • A timer with adjustable duration and zone guidance. Apple Watch gives haptic cues when it is time to switch zones. • A month calendar, morning/evening view and forgiving streaks. Add forgotten records later. • Records for flossing, rinsing and tongue care alongside brushing. • Apple Watch logging and timing, plus Apple Health support. YOUR DATA, YOUR CHOICE Sessions are stored locally. Paired iPhone and Apple Watch exchange records through the system connection. No account is needed, and we do not collect your brushing data. With your permission, BrushBeaver writes brushing events to Apple Health. You can also choose to include events from other sources in a merged view without duplicates. Health permission is optional: local logging and timing still work without it. ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION Core logging, timing, widgets, Apple Watch, Apple Health and the basic calendar are free. A one-time purchase unlocks deeper statistics and trends, plus more app icons. No subscription. No ads. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
