About

Molar

Features
Read full description

Molar is a simple, kid-friendly toothbrushing timer. It walks your child through fourteen short steps — ten seconds each, about two minutes total — using clear drawings of which teeth to brush next. A friendly progress bar fills as you go, and a little cup and cheer celebrate every finished brushing. Designed for young children, but tidy enough for any age. What you get • Fourteen guided brushing zones with simple drawings — no reading required • Per-zone countdown with smooth visual transitions • Pause, resume, or skip a step at any time • A small celebration at the end (because a clean mouth deserves applause) • Haptic feedback and gentle sound effects What you don't get • No accounts, no sign-ups, no email asked • No ads, ever • No tracking, no analytics, no third-party SDKs • No internet connection needed — Molar works fully offline Privacy by design: Molar collects nothing, stores nothing, sends nothing. The only thing leaving your phone is a happy kid heading off to bed with clean teeth. Made by a parent, for his daughter; and shared in case it helps yours too.
