Brick - Ditch Distractions

Make your phone a tool again

Overview

Features & Capabilities

Brick is the world’s first digital wellness tool designed to turn smartphones back into tools by temporarily removing distracting apps and their notifications from your iPhone. It uses a physical tap to enable or disable modes, with a built-in focus timer that starts automatically to track your distraction-free time.

Create custom modes for work, study, family, sleep, or any part of your day, enable Strict Mode to close loopholes, and use features like Emergency Unbricks and usage history. With no subscriptions and lifetime access, Brick is designed for parents, students, professionals, and anyone aiming to use technology with intention. Remote unlock via the app adds flexibility while keeping commitment real.

This thing is tiny and easy to misplace. No possible way of tracking it. I lose my phone all the time but can just ping it. Not the brick. I was using the app without my brick for 6ish months and suddenly it won’t let me use it anymore. Customer support was useless and offered a 20% off code which is nothing since I’m already a student and can get 20% off. Would not recommend!

Had it for about a week so take with a grain of salt, so far I feel it’s been a great way to spend less time on my phone, only complaint so far is if I use a schedule I wish if I unblocked it for a minute and then re-bricked it within the scheduled time it would continue to follow the schedule but small ask that honestly is maybe for the better it doesnt 🤷‍♀️
