Brushlings turns toothbrushing into play on iPhone. Kids wear AR animal masks while a 2-minute guide walks them through every zone. The hook: the mask grows piece by piece as they brush — ears, eyes, nose appear step by step, so they stay curious for the full session instead of quitting early. 60 hand-crafted cute Brushlings to collect. Brush morning + night, complete a 3-day mission, unlock the next surprise. No ads, no account, camera stays on device. Ages 3+. TrueDepth iPhone for AR.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Werner — I built Brushlings because the hardest part of brushing isn't starting… it's staying with it for the full two minutes.
That's why the AR mask doesn't appear all at once. As your child brushes, ears, eyes, nose, and more show up step by step in the camera — so there's always something new to look forward to in the same session. It turns "keep going" into "wait, what comes next?"
On top of that: 60 hand-crafted cute Brushlings to collect. Morning + night for three days unlocks the next surprise — enough structure to build a habit, enough charm to keep it fun.
No ads, no account, camera stays on the device. Free on the App Store.
Curious what you think — especially from parents: does the piece-by-piece reveal actually help kids stick with it? What would you want to see in mask #61? 🦷✨

Curious how it actually keeps the mask lined up when a kid is moving the phone around like crazy mid-brush — does it drift a lot or does the TrueDepth tracking hold steady through all the head shaking?

@naciye4ahn Great question, Naciye — and honestly one we tested a lot with real kids.
The mask isn’t “stuck to the screen” — it’s anchored to the face via ARKit + TrueDepth. So when a kid shakes their head, bobs around, or moves while brushing, the mask moves with their face, not with the phone frame.
In normal use (phone at arm’s length, face in the front camera), tracking stays surprisingly steady — that’s what TrueDepth is built for. Typical brushing wiggles are fine.
Where it can slip: if the face leaves the frame, the phone tilts to a wild angle, or they cover the camera mid-brush — then tracking pauses briefly until the face is back. For a 2-minute session with the phone propped or held loosely, we’ve seen it hold up well in practice.
Tip from parents who’ve tried it: slightly propping the phone (or a bathroom shelf) helps more than perfect stillness — less “hold it like a selfie,” more “keep your face in view.”
Would love to hear how it feels if you try it with a wiggly tester at home.

My kid actually brushed the full two minutes without me hovering, which feels like a small miracle. The mask building up piece by piece is a clever hook.

@kayralazoljvn6 We were going for “fun enough to brush” but “parent can drink coffee while it happens” is the real win 😂
The mask builds itself. You just… exist nearby. That’s premium parenting.

@kayralazoljvn6 mine, too. What a difference! @zer0flag more masks to come once my kid discovered them all?

@dorothea_utzt1 Love hearing that — the “what a difference” part never gets old 😄
Right now there are 60 hand-crafted Brushlings in the app, so there’s still a good runway before the collection is “done.” And yes — more masks are absolutely on the roadmap. We’re already sketching the next batch.
If your kid turns into a speed-runner and burns through them all: there’s also Brushlings Pro to unlock the full collection early (for the impatient ones 😉).
