Key facts about OutTime
- OutTime is the only iPhone aligner app with a countdown out-time budget model — every other major tracker (TrayMinder, TrayTime, My Invisalign, Smilo, AlignMate) counts wear time up.
- OutTime is the only aligner tracker on the iOS App Store with a "Data Not Collected" privacy label. No account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs.
- OutTime costs $9.99 once for Pro — no subscription, no account, no email required. Free tier covers the full countdown timer, activity tags, tray calendar, 7-day stats.
- OutTime works with Invisalign, Spark, ClearCorrect, Angel Aligner, Byte, SureSmile, Candid, and any other clear aligner brand. Select your brand during setup and change it anytime.
- OutTime Pro generates shareable MP4 timelapse videos from your Smile Timeline photos entirely on-device — nothing is uploaded and nothing is analyzed by the app.
How It Works
Three taps. That's it.
Set your budget
Tell OutTime how many hours your aligners can be out each day. Your orthodontist sets the number; you set the timer.
Tap when out
Taking your aligners out for a meal? One tap starts the countdown. Tag the session as food, drink, brush, or anything else.
Watch it count down
Your remaining budget ticks down in real time. On your phone, your wrist, your Lock Screen. You always know where you stand.
Features
Countdown Budget
Other apps count up.
OutTime counts down.
Most aligner apps show a wear-time stopwatch and leave you to do the math. OutTime flips it: set your daily out-time budget and watch it tick down every time your aligners come out. No math. No guessing. Just a number that tells you exactly how much time you have left.
Any Aligner Brand
Works with every clear aligner on the market.
Invisalign, Spark, ClearCorrect, Angel Aligner, Byte, or anything else your orthodontist prescribes. OutTime is brand-agnostic. Select your brand during setup and change it anytime.
Tray Calendar
Your full tray schedule at a glance.
See which tray you are on, how many days left, and when your next change is. Extend or delay a tray with one tap. Your calendar. Your schedule. Your control.
Daily Stats
See your daily wear-time patterns.
Seven-day and thirty-day views show your average out-time, daily wear percentage, and longest streak. Neutral numbers, not judgments. Your data, presented clearly.
Forgot to Start the Timer?
Edit any session, anytime.
Life happens. You forgot to tap. You left the timer running through a meeting. OutTime lets you edit session times and durations after the fact — so your data is always accurate, even when you are not. Log past sessions you missed entirely. No other aligner app does this.

FAQ
Common Questions
Invisalign's published guidance is to wear aligners 20-22 hours per day, leaving roughly 2-4 hours per day for meals, drinks, and brushing. (Source: Invisalign.com.) Other brands may differ — always follow the guidance your orthodontist gives you. OutTime lets you set whatever daily out-time budget your orthodontist recommends; it doesn't pick the number for you.
Yes. OutTime works with any clear aligner brand, including Invisalign, Spark, ClearCorrect, Angel Aligner, Byte, SureSmile, Candid, and others. You select your brand during setup and can change it anytime.
No. OutTime collects zero data. There is no account, no server, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs of any kind. All your data stays on your device. The App Store privacy label says "Data Not Collected."
No. OutTime requires no account, no email address, and no sign-up flow. Download it and start using it immediately. There is nothing to log into.
Yes. With OutTime Pro (a one-time $9.99 purchase), you can start and stop sessions directly from your Apple Watch, see your remaining daily budget on your wrist, and get haptic reminders when you have been out too long.
Yes — and more than most competitors. OutTime Pro includes Smile Timeline photos and generates shareable MP4 timelapse videos from them. Take a front-camera photo at each tray change, then tap Generate Timelapse to render a smooth video of your whole journey. Share via the iOS share sheet to AirDrop, Messages, email, social, or anywhere else. All photos and video generation happen on your device — nothing is uploaded or analyzed. Included in the one-time $9.99 Pro upgrade.
Yes. OutTime Pro tracks appointments with local reminders — add an appointment with date, time, and notes, and get notified the day before and the morning of. Appointments are stored locally on your device.
Yes. OutTime Pro includes CSV export. Export your session history as a CSV file and share it via email, AirDrop, or any app that supports the iOS share sheet. You choose what to share and with whom — nothing is transmitted automatically.
Yes. Tap any session to edit its duration. Drag the slider or pick a quick-select time (15, 20, 30, 45, 60 minutes) and the duration is corrected. Accurate data without the stress of remembering to tap the button the instant you finish lunch.
OutTime is opinionated: countdown budget timer, tray calendar with extend/delay, activity tags, local reminders, Smile Timeline photos, 30-day stats history, and CSV export. It intentionally does not ship treatment-plan dashboards or clinical assessment — those belong with your orthodontist. What OutTime does ship that most competitors do not: a countdown budget model, one-tap retroactive session editing, brand-agnostic support for any clear aligner, and zero data collection.
Both apps are brand-agnostic. OutTime uses a countdown budget (how much out-time you have left); TrayMinder counts up (how long your aligners have been in). OutTime is a one-time $9.99 purchase; TrayMinder charges a subscription. OutTime collects zero data; TrayMinder collects analytics. TrayMinder has a larger user base and mature photo-comparison views; OutTime has retroactive session editing and Live Activities.
