TrayTime keeps your clear aligner schedule on track. Tap once when your trays go in, tap again when they come out — TrayTime counts every minute toward your daily wear goal. YOUR DAILY WEAR RING See today's wear time at a glance on the 22-hour ring (set your own goal from 20–23 h). When trays are out, a counter shows exactly how long they've been out — meals and brushing stay guilt-free, forgetting doesn't. TRAY CHANGES, ON SCHEDULE Enter your total trays and change interval once. TrayTime shows your current tray, days until the next change, and your estimated finish date — with a reminder on change day. OUT-TOO-LONG REMINDERS Left your trays in the case after lunch? TrayTime nudges you when they've been out too long. You choose the threshold, or turn it off. STREAKS & STATS Hit your daily goal and build a streak. Weekly charts show your wear pattern so you know exactly how your wear routine is going. PROGRESS PHOTOS Keep a private photo diary of your smile, organized by tray, with side-by-side comparison. Photos never leave your phone. WORKS WITH ANY BRAND Any clear aligner brand, any provider. No account, no sign-up, no cloud — everything stays on your device. TRAYTIME PRO (one-time purchase) Remove ads, unlock unlimited progress photos and extended statistics. Pay once, keep it forever. TrayTime is a wear-time tracking tool. It does not provide medical or orthodontic advice — always follow your provider's instructions.

Stay on your clear aligner schedule — not on “I’ll wear them more tomorrow.” TrayTime is a wear timer for clear aligners, Invisalign, and retainers. Tap out when you remove trays, tap back in when they’re on, and watch a live counter race toward your daily hours. Miss the goal and your projected finish date slips. Hit it and you stay on your ortho’s timeline. WHY PEOPLE USE TRAYTIME • Live wear-time ring toward your daily goal (commonly 20–22 hours) • Real-time finish-date projection that updates with your actual wear • Tray change countdown so you never miss the next set • Progress photos at each tray change that build your before/after smile grid • Streaks and history that keep you honest without spreadsheets • Reminders when trays stay out too long, a tray is due, or you’re short on hours • Trays-out log, weekly slip report, and shareable before/after progress cards • 30-day wear chart — short days in coral against your daily goal • Retainer mode: track your nightly wear window, not a 22-hour race • Private on-device backup export & import — photos and history for a new phone • Wear-weighted tray timing and finish-date “what if” on Today • Lock screen Live Activity and home screen widget on supported iOS devices BUILT FOR REAL TREATMENT DAYS Eating, coffee, and “just five more minutes” quietly steal weeks.
