Make tooth-brushing the moment your child looks forward to. Brush Beasts turns those two daily minutes into a magical adventure where every session ends with a new creature hatching into their collection. HOW IT WORKS Your child brushes for exactly 2 minutes - the time dentists recommend - split into four 30-second quadrants. As they brush, an egg slowly cracks. When the timer reaches zero, the egg hatches and one of 70 unique creatures joins their collection. FIVE MAGICAL WORLDS - Enchanted Forest - leaf sprites, root wardens, ancient tree guardians - Coral Reef - pearl claws, reef dragons, deep-ocean leviathans - Ember Peaks - fire pups, volcanic dragons, the colossal Infernoking - Frozen Tundra - ice cats, crystal-horned beasts, aurora stags - Cosmic Void - star sprites, planet beings, galaxy guardians Plus a hidden tier of LEGENDARY creatures that can appear from any world. FOR YOUR CHILD - 70 unique hand-illustrated creatures to discover - 30+ achievements and daily streaks - Confetti, sparkles and surprise creature visits during brushing - Music that adapts to each biome - calm, never overstimulating - Multiple profiles, so the whole family can play FOR YOU - 100% offline - the app never connects to the internet - No accounts, no email, no advertising, no analytics, no tracking - No in-app purchases. Ever. - Two sessions per day, hard limit - no overuse, no nagging - Optional gentle reminders (morning + evening), scheduled locally - Built to comply with COPPA and GDPR-K from day one - Brush Beasts holds zero data about your family LANGUAGES English, Danish, Norwegian Bokmål and Swedish. Creature names are translated naturally in each language. MADE WITH CARE Every creature is illustrated in a soft, child-friendly style. Every sound is mixed for children's ears - no harsh frequencies. The music is original and lives entirely on the device. Brush Beasts was built by a parent who wanted his own kid to actually enjoy brushing teeth, without any of the things that make children's apps creepy. We hope you like it.
