"She doesn't need to be convinced to exercise or eat well. She just needs something that quietly asks, did you today?"

The story
I built this
for my daughter.
She's smart, driven, and perfectly capable of exercising, eating well, and doing the things she knows she should do. But her brain and her life are so busy that days will slip away without her doing the things that she knows she wants to do. She doesn't need a productivity system. She just needed something to quietly ask, at the end of the day: did you?
She mentioned to me that the only thing she knew she'd do every single day — without needing any motivation at all — was brush her teeth in the morning and at night. That habit was automatic for her. So I built the app around that idea.
Every other habit tracker I looked at wanted her to rate her mood, review her week, study her charts, and configure all sorts of notifications. They all wanted to take over the management of her whole life, and they were just too complicated.
Toothbrush does one thing. It remembers what you said you'd do, and it asks if you did it.
