Open Brush

Open Brush is a free, open-source VR painting app — the community-maintained successor to Google's Tilt Brush — and has been under continuous active development since its release on June 8, 2021. The developer has now shipped five major content releases post-launch: v2.0 (January 26, 2023), v2.4 "Prismatic" (January 26, 2024), Multiplayer support (April 30, 2025), v2.13 "Lucky Number" (December 9, 2025), and v2.31 (August 29, 2026). This establishes a sustained cadence of significant feature releases roughly every 6-14 months, with feature patches and bug fixes filling the gaps. The most recent major release — v2.31 — arrived just two days before today's date and delivered portals between sketches, drawing-based camera path creation, Gaussian Splat capture tools, expanded multiplayer (up to 12 people with passthrough rooms), an improved view-only mode, 360° and depth capture enhancements, and Windows Explorer sketch thumbnails. Between major releases, the team has continued shipping feature patches (a Windows thumbnail extension in January 2026) and bug fixes (most recently in March 2026). No end-of-development statement has been made at any point. The project's open-source, community-driven nature and consistent history of shipping major updates signal that development is firmly ongoing, with the latest major release having just landed.
