TrayHabit is the clear aligner tracker for iPhone that times every session, keeps your streak alive and speaks up before the day slips away — so your teeth move on the schedule your orthodontist planned.

The 22-hour problem

Aligners don't move teeth. Worn aligners do.

Take a tray out for lunch, forget it in a napkin, and an hour is gone. Do that a few times a week and a twelve-month plan quietly turns into fifteen. The fix isn't discipline — it's knowing exactly where the hours went.

What does half an hour a day actually cost?

Drag the slider to your honest daily average and see how a twelve-month plan stretches.

Your daily wear time 19h
14h19h24h
+8 weeks

At 19 hours a day you deliver 86% of the prescribed wear time — a 12-month plan stretches to about 13.9 months.

Illustration only, based on a 12-month plan prescribed at 22 hours a day. Real treatment timing depends on your teeth and your orthodontist — not on this slider.

Inside the app

Five screens. Zero busywork.

Everything is built with the latest iOS design system — Liquid Glass surfaces, Live Activities, Dynamic Island. It looks like it shipped with the phone.

01 The timer

One tap out. One tap in.

That's the whole interaction. A live ring fills toward your daily goal while a second bar tracks the out-time budget you're allowed to spend on meals.

  • Sessions that cross midnight are split automatically, so every day stays honest
  • A Live Activity keeps the countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island
  • Forgot to tap? Drag the session dial to the real times, or add a session by hand

02 The calendar

Your whole treatment, one screen.

Every day is coloured by how it went. Scroll back through months of history, tap any date to fix a session, and leave a note for the day you switched trays.

  • Goal met, almost there and missed are distinguishable without relying on colour
  • Tap a day for its total, its sessions and how close you landed to the goal
  • Day notes for tray switches, check-ups and the dinner that ran long

03 Insights

Patterns you can actually act on.

Not a wall of charts — a handful of numbers that tell you what to change. Which part of the day loses you hours, and whether this week beat the last one.

  • Daily average with a week-over-week and month-over-month delta
  • Days in goal, hours ahead or behind, and a consistency score
  • A heatmap of when your tray is out — mornings, evenings, weekends

04 Coach

Reminders that do the maths for you.

Coach watches the day and works backwards. It knows the latest moment you can put the tray back in and still close the goal — and pings you exactly then.

  • "Put it back" nudges when the tray has been out too long
  • A last-chance alert computed from midnight minus the hours you still owe
  • A wind-down reminder timed to your wake-up, so you sleep with trays in

05 Rewards

A reason to close today, too.

Treatment is long. Streaks, celebrations and a vault of 22 collectible teeth turn "sometime next year" into something you can win before bedtime.

  • Streaks count across every tray you're wearing, including retainers
  • Unlock by streak, total hours, perfect days — plus a few seasonal secrets
  • Equip a tooth and the whole app takes on its colour

Fixing a day

Get the times right with your thumb.

Life gets in the way — you finish lunch and only then remember the app. So the fix is a clock face, not a form: grab a handle and pull the session to when it actually happened.

  1. 1 Open the day Any date in the calendar, or the week strip along the top of the editor.
  2. 2 Drag the dial One handle for in, one for out — or grab the arc to move the whole session. Everything snaps to five minutes.
  3. 3 Save Your total, the streak and the calendar catch up the moment you tap it.

Two sessions that overlap are offered as a merge instead of an error, and anything that ran past midnight is split across both days for you.

Lock Screen & Dynamic Island

You don't even have to open the app.

The moment a tray comes out, a Live Activity appears on your Lock Screen and curls into the Dynamic Island. Put it back with one tap, without unlocking. In the final stretch it flips to a countdown to your daily goal.

  • A tray-out timer with a Put it back button
  • A countdown that surfaces itself 15 minutes before your goal
  • Repaints in the colour of whichever tooth you have equipped

The long game

Treatment is long. Today isn't.

Six to eighteen months is a long time to stay perfect on willpower alone. So TrayHabit scores the marathon in days: close today, keep the streak, and there's always something small waiting on the other side of it.

  • A streak that counts across every tray you wear, retainers included
  • 22 collectible teeth, earned by streaks, hours and perfect days
  • Each one arrives wrapped — you open it yourself, and no, we're not spoiling them here

Questions

Everything else.

How many hours a day should I wear my clear aligners?

Most clear aligner plans ask for 20 to 22 hours a day, which leaves roughly two hours for meals, drinks and brushing. TrayHabit defaults to a 22-hour goal and a 2-hour out-time budget, and both are adjustable to whatever your orthodontist prescribed.

Does TrayHabit work with Invisalign and other aligner brands?

Yes. TrayHabit tracks wear time for trays from any provider or clinic, including Invisalign, ClearCorrect, Spark, SureSmile, Byte, Candid and Angel Aligner, as well as removable retainers. It is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any aligner manufacturer.

Is TrayHabit free?

Yes. The timer, daily goal, calendar, insights, streaks and achievements are free with no account. TrayHabit Pro is optional and unlocks Live Activities, multiple trays at once, advanced reminder scheduling and CSV export.

Do I need an account to use TrayHabit?

No. There is no sign-up, no email and no password. Your wear history is stored on your iPhone, and optional sync goes through your own private iCloud account rather than our servers.

What happens if I forget to start or stop the timer?

Any session can be edited or added by hand. Open a day in the calendar, drag the session dial to the right put-in and took-out times, or add a session manually. Sessions that cross midnight are split automatically, so every day stays accurate.

Which iPhones does TrayHabit support?

TrayHabit requires iOS 26 or later and is built entirely with the latest iOS design system, including Liquid Glass surfaces, Live Activities and Dynamic Island timers.

Can I export my aligner wear history?

Yes. TrayHabit Pro exports every completed session, adjustment and day note as a single CSV file that you can share with your orthodontist or keep as a backup.

Is TrayHabit medical advice?

No. TrayHabit is a tracking tool, not a medical device, and nothing in the app or on this site is medical advice. Follow the wear schedule your orthodontist or dentist gave you, and talk to them about any concerns with your treatment.
