Works with Invisalign, Spark, ClearCorrect and any other clear aligner. Where you stand, at a glance • Hours worn today, out-time left, and whether you are on track.

About

Trayce

Trayce tracks how long your clear aligners or retainer are actually in — and it keeps counting no matter what you do to your phone. WORKS WITH YOUR BRAND Trayce works with every clear aligner and retainer — including Invisalign®, ClearCorrect®, SureSmile®, Angel Aligner®, Spark™, Byte® and Candid®, as well as bonded and removable retainers and any custom lab appliance. Trayce is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of these companies; all trademarks are the property of their respective owners. WHY THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT Trayce was designed by reading several hundred one- and two-star reviews of the aligner apps people already use. Every point below is a direct fix for something they said was broken. • The timer never stops. Wear time is worked out from saved times, not a counter running in memory. Force-quit Trayce, restart your phone, or spend the day in airplane mode — the total is identical. • No account. No email, no password, no server, no sign-in that loops. Trayce never makes a network request, so there is nothing to be logged out of and nothing to go down. • No ads. Not in the free version, not ever. Nothing will cover the screen you opened the app for. • Fix anything, any time. Forgot to tap? Edit or add a period out for today, for yesterday, or for three weeks ago. Nothing in your log is locked. • Your schedule, not ours. Any number of days per tray, any daily goal, change trays early or late. Your orthodontist's plan wins over the app's guess. • Your history is never trimmed, and exporting all of it is free. THE NUMBER THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS A 22-hour goal means two hours a day out. Trayce counts down what is left of that budget instead of counting wear up, because the out-time is the number you plan lunch around. WHAT YOU GET, FREE • Take out / put back in, with a live count • Your daily out-time budget, and how much of it is left • Worn today, out today, and what the day is on track for • Tray number, days per tray, change countdown and change reminders • Put-back reminders with your own delay, repeat interval and repeat count — and they stop the moment you put them back in • Unlimited history, with per-day detail and full editing • A compliance summary: average worn, days at goal, percentage • CSV export of every day and every entry • Aligners and retainers, with sensible defaults for each • Streaks, so a good run is worth keeping TRAYCE PRO • Progress photos, with side-by-side compare • A one-page PDF wear report to hand to your orthodontist • Track more than one person — two children in treatment at once • Alternate app icons Trayce Pro is available as a one-time purchase or as a yearly subscription. There is no free trial, so nothing quietly starts charging you later. Nothing that is free today will ever move behind the paywall. PRIVACY Everything stays on your iPhone. There is no account, no server, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Your wear log is yours, and the free CSV export means you can always take it with you. Trayce is a wear-time log and reminder. It is not a medical device and it gives no treatment advice — always follow your orthodontist's instructions. Trayce is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any clear aligner manufacturer or brand. Terms of Use: https://tanzil114.github.io/trayce/terms.html
