PREMIUM — 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 — 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 — no characters, no games, no hardware required. WHAT YOU GET • A guided 2-minute session split into four 30-second quadrants, so no corner of your mouth gets skipped again • Your streak front and centre — days in a row with both a morning and an evening brush logged • One tap logs floss and mouthwash right next to your AM and PM brushes • A quadrant coverage chart, built from your own timed sessions, that shows which corner you tend to cut short • Morning and night brushing reminders, set to the times you really brush • Every day you have logged, browsable in History — tap any day to fix a brush you forgot to tick PERFECT FOR • Adults who want a plain brushing tracker, not a cartoon character app • Anyone whose dentist said "two minutes, twice a day" and wants to see themselves actually doing it • Habit builders who stay consistent when a streak is on the line • Night-brush skippers — 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 — 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.

Brush first. Then scroll. BrushLock locks the apps you choose — Instagram, TikTok, games, anything — during the times you usually brush. To get them back, you brush for two minutes. Not a button, not a promise: BrushLock checks your real toothbrush. HOW IT CHECKS • Any electric toothbrush: learns the sound of your motor and listens for it. Nothing is recorded. • Manual toothbrush, with the camera: prop the phone up at the sink and the front camera watches for your hand brushing. Nothing is recorded. • Manual toothbrush: a plain two-minute timer, and BrushLock tells you it isn't checking. BUILT FOR THE NIGHTS YOU SKIP • Windows for morning, after lunch and night — you pick the times. • A reminder when a window starts and before your streak breaks. Tap it and the timer opens. • Your streak grows every day you keep it. • An emergency exit that waits longer each time you use it. FAMILY MODE Set BrushLock up on your child's iPhone or iPad. A parent approves it with Screen Time, and a parent PIN protects the settings. Their games wait until their teeth are done. PRIVATE BY DESIGN BrushLock never learns which apps you lock — iOS keeps that to itself. No ads. Audio never leaves your phone. BRUSHLOCK PRO BrushLock needs BrushLock Pro to lock your apps. Everything included: all your windows, every verification method, family mode, full history and Apple Health. Start with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan, or choose monthly or lifetime. One purchase covers your whole family through Family Sharing.
