## Description

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.
