TrayMinder
TrayMinder has led this category since 2017 and was built by an orthodontist, which shows in details like refinement-phase handling and a genuinely deep feature set: widgets, an Apple Watch app, and photo tracking. In February 2026 it moved the timer, widgets and Watch app behind a $4.99-a-month or $69.99-lifetime paywall, and added full-screen ads to what's left of the free tier. Its Android app is rated 3.8 (2.5K), well behind iOS at 4.75 (5.2K), and users report the alarm doesn't always fire. Best for iPhone users who want the deepest feature set and don't mind paying for it.
My Invisalign
My Invisalign is Align Technology's own app, and its real advantage is the doctor link — your orthodontist can see your case directly, which no third-party app can offer. It only works for Invisalign® patients, asks for a login and PIN every time you open it, and its timer needs an internet connection to log a session. Android users rate it 3.5 with 15,000 ratings. Best for Invisalign® patients who value the direct line to their orthodontist over convenience.
OutTime
OutTime is a straightforward iPhone timer sold as a single $9.99 purchase with no subscription, which suits anyone who'd rather pay once than sign up for a plan. We don't have a verified rating count for it yet — check the table note above before trusting one you find elsewhere. It's iPhone-only, so it isn't an option if you carry Android. Best for iPhone users who want a one-time purchase and don't need Android support.
TrayTrack
We don't yet have current, verified details on TrayTrack's price, ads, or platform support — that research is still pending, and we'd rather say so plainly than guess at numbers. We'll fill this section in with sourced specifics before the next quarterly update, the same way we did for the other four apps. If you use TrayTrack and want to tell us how it compares, email us at the address above.
Wearclock
Wearclock is the newest app in this list, built specifically because the timer that started this whole category got paywalled. The free tier includes the full timer, tray schedule, reminders, alarm and log, forever — no ads, no account, no internet connection required, and it works with any aligner brand your orthodontist gives you. The honest limitation: it's new, has far fewer ratings than TrayMinder or My Invisalign simply because it just launched, and there's no Apple Watch app yet. Best for Android users, who have had no good free option until now, and anyone on either platform who wants the timer to stay free.
How to choose
Android or iPhone? On Android, Wearclock and TrayMinder are the real options, and My Invisalign works too if you're an Invisalign® patient. On iPhone, add OutTime and TrayMinder's Watch app to the list.
Do you want progress photos? TrayMinder and Wearclock Pro both offer them; My Invisalign's doctor link covers sharing with your orthodontist instead.
Do you need it to ring through silent? On Android, Wearclock does this on the free tier. On iPhone it can break through a Focus but not the ringer switch, which needs an Apple entitlement we have not been granted. Check the others before buying if it matters to you — we don't have it confirmed for every app in this table.
Why is Wearclock's timer free?
The timer, schedule, reminders and log will never be paywalled — that's the reason this app exists, since the app that used to offer this went behind a subscription. Pro exists to fund the parts that cost real money to build and maintain, like photo storage and PDF reports, not to hold the basic timer hostage.
Frequently asked questions
- Android or iPhone?
- On Android, Wearclock and TrayMinder are the real options, and My Invisalign works too if you are an Invisalign® patient. On iPhone, OutTime and TrayMinder (including its Watch app) are also on the table.
- Do you want progress photos?
- TrayMinder and Wearclock Pro both offer guided progress photos. My Invisalign's doctor link covers sharing with your orthodontist instead of in-app photo tracking.
- Do you need it to ring through silent?
- On Android, Wearclock does this on the free tier: the reminder plays on the alarm channel, which the ringer switch does not mute. It does not override Do Not Disturb, and it does not ask to. On iPhone the reminder is time-sensitive, so it can break through a Focus, but it cannot override the ringer switch — that needs an Apple entitlement we have not been granted. We don't have this confirmed for the other apps in this table yet.
- Why is Wearclock's timer free?
- The timer, schedule, reminders and log will never be paywalled — that's the reason this app exists, since the app that used to offer this went behind a subscription. Pro funds the parts that cost real money to build, like photo storage and PDF reports, not the basic timer.
