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 Your data never goes through our servers, and it syncs to Apple Health only if you allow it. Paired iPhone and Apple Watch exchange records through the system connection. No account is needed. 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: 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/
