Walk into your next cleaning with nothing to confess.
Floss Lock keeps the apps you pick locked each night until you floss. A minute with Toothy, then everything opens.
Give Toothy a scrub.
Brush him, then floss him. Like real teeth, a brush only gets you so far.
That’s the idea behind the app. A brush cleans the surfaces you can see. The spots between teeth need floss, so floss is what unlocks your apps.
Pick your apps. Floss. They open.

Choose the apps that eat your evenings and a lock time. Free locks up to 3.

Floss with Toothy
The camera check counts 30 seconds of flossing, or use the timer. String floss, picks, water flossers and little brushes all count.
-
Everything opens
Your apps unlock, Toothy gets clean and your streak grows. Miss a night and Toothy just gets muddy. Two skips a week keep your streak safe.
12 nightsReminders are easy to swipe away. A locked app isn’t.
Most people know they should. The hard part is remembering at 11 PM.
In trials, adding floss to brushing may reduce gum inflammation compared with brushing alone.
Gums often bleed less after a couple of weeks of daily flossing. If they don’t, see your dentist.
Bring a report card to your cleaning.
Add your next checkup date and Floss Lock counts the real nights until then. At the chair, tap Show my hygienist. No fibbing required.
- Only nights you actually flossed count
- Your next checkup date, front and centre
- A Pearls bonus for every cleaning you go to
Floss Lock Plus The report card is part of Plus.
Every floss earns Pearls. Toothy spends them.
Ten Pearls a night, a big bonus for each cleaning. Dress him up, give him better brushes. The care game is free for everyone.
Skip flossing and the mud shows right through the outfit. Only real floss gets him clean.
Floss together, without spying.
Everyone on the family board sees who flossed tonight, their streak and their Toothy. Cheer someone on, or send one nudge before bed.

Fair questions.
Can I cheat it?
If you really want to, yes. You can delete the app or turn off its Screen Time permission, and no app can stop that. You also get 2 skips a week that keep your streak safe. Floss Lock isn’t a prison. It’s a nudge that’s much harder to ignore than a reminder.
What if I miss a night?
Toothy gets a bit muddy, never sick, and the next floss cleans him up. Miss one night and you can repair your streak by flossing the next two.
Does the camera record me?
No. The floss check runs on your phone and only counts flossing motion. Nothing is recorded, saved or uploaded. You can use the timer instead.
Do water flossers count?
Yes. Tell Floss Lock what you’re using tonight (string floss, floss picks, a water flosser or little interdental brushes) and the check adjusts.
Can my kids use it?
Yes, as a family. Parents can tick off the kids they floss with, right on their own phone, and each kid gets their own Toothy. Teens with their own iPhone can join the family board with a nickname.
Is there an Android version?
iPhone comes first and Android follows. Pick Android in the form above and we’ll email you when it’s ready.
Does it replace my dentist?
No. Floss Lock builds a habit. Keep your regular checkups, and see your dentist if your gums still bleed after two weeks of daily flossing.
Who made it?
Floss Lock was created by a licensed dentist. Every fact in the app shows its source and how strong the evidence is.
