Why don't my aligner reminders go off?

Wearlo schedules put-back reminders as exact alarms. If one still doesn't ring, check that notifications are allowed, that "Alarms & reminders" is allowed, and that battery optimization isn't restricting the app. Reminders are rescheduled after a restart.

Does the day reset at midnight?

By default, yes, but you can change "My day starts at" in Settings. If you work nights or sleep late, set it to 6 AM, for example, so overnight wear counts as one day.

I forgot to tap. Can I fix it?

Yes. Use "Forgot to tap?" and pick roughly when, like "10 min ago". In History, tap any day to edit, add or delete out times.

Is the widget locked?

No. The widget, the out-timer, reminders and history are all included. The app is supported by a small banner and a few ads between screens.

Can I use it for retainers or a night-only plan?

Yes. Set a night plan of 10–12 hours as your daily goal. It works with any clear aligner or retainer schedule.

Will I lose my data on a new phone?

Not if you back up. Export a backup file in Settings and restore it on the new phone. There is no account; records stay on your phone.

Does it remind me to switch trays?

Yes. Set days per tray and Wearlo reminds you on switch day. Start the next tray in one tap.

Can I show my wear time to my orthodontist?

Share a weekly summary as text. 7- and 30-day average wear times are in History.

I don't remember exactly when I took them out.

A rough time is fine. You can fine-tune it to the minute in History any time.

Can I fix last week's records?

Yes. Tap a day on the History calendar to edit, add or delete its out times.

My overnight wear is split across two days.

Change "My day starts at" in Settings, for example to 6 AM, so overnight wear counts as one day.

Forgot to track your aligner wear time? How to fix it

A missed tap can be fixed. You don't need to remember the exact minute. Entering roughly when it happened keeps your daily wear time close to accurate.

Depending on what you forgot

Each kind of missed tap has its own fix.

What happened	Result	How to fix
Didn't tap when taking them out	Time out logged as zero	"Forgot to tap?" → pick how many minutes ago they came out
Didn't tap when putting them back	Time out keeps growing	"Forgot to tap?" → pick how many minutes ago they went back in
A past day is wrong	Day shows as goal missed	Tap the day on the History calendar and edit
Day boundary is wrong	Overnight wear split across two days	Settings → My day starts at

Fix it in Wearlo

On the timer screen, tap "Forgot to tap?"
Pick roughly when, like "10 min ago"
To be more precise, open History and tap that day
Change the out and in times, add a missing out time, or delete a wrong one

So you don't forget next time

The main reason people forget is the few seconds it takes to open an app. A home-screen widget switches in or out with one tap.

While your trays are out, a status bar notification keeps counting, so you can tap "They're back in" right from the notification.
