Aligner Timer keeps your clear-aligner treatment on track: one tap when your trays come out, one tap when they go back in. No account. No ads. No subscription. WHY PEOPLE SWITCH TO ALIGNER TIMER • Live Activity & Dynamic Island — when your trays are out, a live timer sits on your Lock Screen so you can't forget them after lunch. Tap it to mark them back in without opening the app. • A real Apple Watch app — toggle from your wrist, see today's wear at a glance, and keep a streak complication on your watch face. The Live Activity mirrors into the watch Smart Stack too. • Sync that actually works — your history lives in your private iCloud and syncs automatically between your iPhone and Apple Watch. No login, no developer servers, nothing to lose. • Fix your history — forgot to tap? Add, edit, or backdate any event with exact times from the calendar. • Travel-proof days — stats stay anchored to your home time zone, so a trip abroad doesn't wreck your streaks or daily totals. EVERYTHING YOU NEED • Wear-time timer with a daily goal (16–24 h) and progress ring • Smart reminders: "put them back in", "still eating?" follow-ups, and tray-switch day — all snoozable • Compliance calendar: green, yellow and red days at a glance, with a pulsing blue dot for today • Stats: daily hours, 7-day average, goal-hit rate and streaks • Tray progression with estimated finish date • Daily discomfort journal (1–5 scale) • Export your data as CSV, or a clean PDF report to share with your orthodontist • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets • Siri & Shortcuts: "aligners out", "aligners in", toggle PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your data stays on your device and in your personal iCloud. We run no servers, show no ads, track nothing, and collect nothing. Works with Invisalign®, ClearCorrect®, Spark™, Byte® aligners, Angel Aligner and any other removable clear aligner or retainer. Aligner Timer is a tracking aid, not medical advice — always follow your orthodontist's or dentist's instructions. Invisalign is a registered trademark of Align Technology, Inc.

You're not imagining it. The 3am wake-up. A heart that suddenly races. A full night of sleep that still leaves you flat. Perimenopause can make nights hard to make sense of — and Apple Watch can leave you with numbers but no clear picture. Perigee brings five Apple Watch readings into one clear morning view: HRV — the small changes in time between heartbeats — resting heart rate, sleep, wrist temperature, and breathing rate while you sleep. Each is compared with what’s usual for you. No athlete score. No mystery grade. WHAT YOU GET EVERY MORNING • A useful morning explanation: what changed, what likely contributed, and one practical suggestion. • Five Watch readings in one place, each beside what’s usual for you. • A plain note when the Watch missed part of the night or needs more nights for a fair comparison. No guessing. TRACK WHAT YOU FEEL • Log a symptom in ten seconds — hot flashes, night sweats, racing heart, brain fog, low mood, poor sleep. • Keep a simple HRT log and see your notes beside your Watch readings over time. Perigee never tells you what to take or change. SEE THE PATTERNS • See which symptoms and Watch readings happened on the same nights. Open the dates, counts and missing nights behind each Pattern. • Export a clean, doctor-ready PDF to bring to your next appointment. WHY PERIGEE IS DIFFERENT Perigee is made for perimenopause and menopause, when sleep, night sweats, brain fog, hot flashes, a racing heart or low mood can be hard to explain. It keeps your symptoms, HRT notes and Apple Watch readings together, so you can see what changed, what repeats, and what to bring to your doctor. FREE, AND FAIR Your Watch readings and history are free, forever. So are symptom and HRT logs. The free plan includes up to one morning summary a week and three a month. Perigee Plus unlocks a useful explanation every morning, full weekly reports, and doctor-ready PDF export. AN HONEST WORD ON WHAT THIS IS Perigee is a wellness and self-knowledge companion, not a medical device. It does not detect, diagnose, or treat menopause or any condition, and it does not give medical or medication advice. It shows your own Watch readings and symptom log so that you — and your doctor — can review them together. Always talk to a qualified healthcare professional about symptoms, treatment, or any decision about HRT. SUBSCRIPTION Perigee Plus is an auto-renewing subscription available as a monthly or annual plan. Eligible new subscribers can start with a 7-day free trial; the Apple purchase sheet shows the offer available to your account. • Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. • It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. • Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.

You're not imagining it — now you have dates and readings to bring with you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aligner Timer at none against Perigee's 2. Perigee's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
