Our Aligner Log
Aligner & retainer wear timer
Free
Tap Start and Stop to log your daily aligner wear time. See it on a calendar and a color-in chart, and share it with family through cloud sync. No ads, no account, free.
"Our Aligner Log" is a free app that tracks how long you wear your orthodontic aligners, with just one tap.
Your orthodontist often gives you a daily goal, such as "at least 20 hours a day," and how consistently you wear your aligners is often said to make a big difference in how treatment goes. But writing down and adding up wear time every day is hard for kids and parents alike. Just tap "Start" when you put them in and "Stop" when you take them out. Your daily wear time is recorded automatically. Great for families helping a child through treatment, and for adults too.
■ 3 easy steps
1. Put in your aligner and tap "Start"
2. Take it out and tap "Stop"
3. Your wear time for the day adds up automatically
While you wear it, the time is shown live, so you can see how much longer to go today.
■ 3 screens
- Log: Big Start / Stop buttons, the current wear time, and today's total.
- Summary: Wear time for each day on a calendar. Change times, or add and delete records by hand.
- Chart: A color-in chart with one row per day. Boxes fill with color for the time you wore it, so kids can see their effort and stay motivated. On iPad, you can see a whole month of the chart at once without scrolling.
■ Forgot to tap Start or Stop? No problem
Use "Pick when you put it in" to start from an earlier time (15 min, 30 min, or 1 hour ago, or a date and time within the last 48 hours). Fix long records from the Summary calendar. Records that go past midnight are counted correctly for each day.
■ Save and share the chart as a picture
Save the chart as an easy-to-read image with the month and year. Print it or send it from the share sheet, so it's handy at orthodontist visits. Put it on the fridge and cheer each other on!
■ Sync with your family (cloud sync)
Put a record file in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or Google Drive to share the same records on more than one device. Record on your child's device and check on a parent's iPhone or iPad. Just tap "Connect to the cloud" on the Summary screen and choose where to keep the file in the Files app. You don't need an account for this app. You can also move data with "Share" and "Import", which works as a backup when you change devices.

- Records are saved on your device and never sent to the developer's servers
