Your aligners are out.
The clock is ticking.

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. Read our guide to the 2-hour out-time budget for how that time typically gets spent.

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 OutTime server, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs of any kind. Your data stays on your device — and, with optional iCloud Sync, it's backed up to your own private iCloud, which we still can't see. 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, add a complication to your watch face, and get haptic reminders 20 and 45 minutes into a session.

Yes. With out-time reminders on, OutTime sends a local notification 20 and 45 minutes after your aligners come out, plus tray change reminders the evening before and the morning of each change. Out-time and tray-change reminders are free; cleaning and appointment reminders are part of the one-time $9.99 Pro upgrade. All notifications are generated on your device — there is no push server and nothing leaves your phone.

Yes. What many apps call "progress photos" is the Smile Timeline in OutTime. Add a wide photo at each tray change — you can crop, straighten, rotate, and brighten it. Put any two photos side by side and share them, save photos to your Photos app, or tap Timelapse to render a smooth MP4 video of your whole timeline. Share via the iOS share sheet to AirDrop, Messages, email, social, or anywhere else you want. Your first photo is free; Pro unlocks the rest. All photos and video generation happen entirely on your device — nothing is uploaded and nothing is analyzed by the app.

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, two ways. OutTime Pro can turn any month into a Wear-Time Summary — a clean, shareable summary of your logged sessions, ready to show at your next appointment. Pro also includes CSV export of your full session history. Share either one 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, 90 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: a countdown budget timer, a tray calendar with extend, delay, and per-tray lengths, activity tags, Break Types stats, a month calendar, local reminders, Smile Timeline photos with timelapse, a shareable Wear-Time Summary, 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, break stats sorted by type, one-tap retroactive session editing, brand-agnostic support for any clear aligner, and zero data collection.

Set a daily out-time budget in OutTime, tap "Remove Aligners" when you take them out, tap "Put Aligners Back In" when they go back in. The app counts down your remaining budget in real time on your phone, Apple Watch, and Lock Screen. Sessions can be tagged (Food, Drink, Brush, etc.) and edited if you forget to stop the timer.

Yes. OutTime was built specifically around a countdown budget model. Instead of counting up the time your aligners have been out, OutTime counts down from your daily out-time limit, so you always know exactly how much time you have left today.

OutTime is free to download. The free version includes the full countdown timer, activity tagging, Break Types stats, a month calendar with day-by-day details, 7-day averages and streaks, the tray calendar, reminders, Siri shortcuts, and your first Smile Timeline photo. OutTime Pro is a one-time $9.99 in-app purchase that unlocks the full Smile Timeline with timelapse video, a shareable Wear-Time Summary, full stats history, Apple Watch and complications, Live Activities, home screen widgets, iCloud Sync, cleaning and appointment reminders, and CSV export. There is no subscription.

Yes. OutTime is free to download with an optional one-time $9.99 Pro upgrade that unlocks Apple Watch, Live Activities, widgets, and more. There is no subscription. You pay once and own it for your entire treatment.

Yes. OutTime requires no account, no email address, and no sign-up. There is no OutTime server, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs. Your data stays on your device, and can be backed up to your own private iCloud with optional iCloud Sync. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected."

Yes. OutTime is brand-agnostic. It works with Invisalign, Spark, ClearCorrect, Angel Aligner, Byte, and any other clear aligner system. You select your brand during setup and can switch brands anytime if your orthodontist changes your treatment.

Yes. OutTime Pro includes a full Apple Watch app. You can start and stop sessions from your wrist, see your remaining budget, view your current tray, and check active session timers without reaching for your phone. Apple Watch is included in the one-time $9.99 Pro upgrade.

The best Invisalign tracker app depends on what you value. My Invisalign is Align Technology's official app but is Invisalign-only and requires an account. TrayMinder is popular but uses a count-up timer and charges a subscription. OutTime is brand-agnostic, uses a countdown budget model, collects zero data, and is a one-time $9.99 purchase for Pro features. See our full 2026 comparison.

The best aligner wear time app is one that works with your brand, respects your privacy, and fits how you think about time. OutTime counts down your daily out-time budget in real time, works with any clear aligner, requires no account, and costs $9.99 once for Pro features instead of a subscription.

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; OutTime sorts your breaks by type, lets you edit any session after the fact, puts any two smile photos side by side, and shows the countdown as a Live Activity.
