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.
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.
