Brick is the world's first digital wellness tool designed to create a more intentional relationship with your technology. In a world designed for constant distraction, Brick introduces a simple but powerful idea: friction. By adding physical barriers, Brick creates a deliberate pause between impulse and action — turning smartphones back into tools for what matters. With the Brick app, you can design your personalized system to block distractions using both your Brick and Brick Night — allowing you to do more of what matters.
Brick is a physical device that helps you block distracting apps on your phone. Tap to start a Brick session, then place Brick somewhere out of reach and go live your life. When you’re ready to be connected again, simply tap to Unbrick. Unlike screen-time settings and blocker apps that switch off in a second, Brick isn't on the phone you're trying to put down. It's a physical barrier you can't swipe out of.
Brick Night automatically blocks the apps you choose when you enter your bedroom. Unlike app blockers, Brick Night uses Bluetooth to know when you're in your bedroom, creating a simple boundary around your sleep — so you don't have to remember to activate it every night. The result: fewer late-night distractions, fewer mornings lost to your feed, and a bedroom that feels like the sanctuary you intended it to be.

DESIGNED FOR EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE Parents use Brick to create device-free family time and build healthier habits around technology. Students rely on it during study sessions and exam prep when focus matters most. Professionals use it for deep work without the constant pull of notifications. Athletes keep it in the locker room to stay locked in before competition. Brick is also a thoughtful gift for anyone trying to build a healthier relationship with their screen habits, reduce anxiety from constant notifications, or simply spend less time scrolling and more time living.

A real ethical company! (Not a kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare/faceless machine)

I’ve been using the Brick recently since turning 30, to stop social media from hijacking my brain with its pokie/slot machine based algorithms and reclaim my focus as I step into this new decade of my life. It’s been a great way to unplug from distractions and be more intentional with my time.Anyway… I may have lost it. Or it might’ve been stolen—we went out to a pub, came back to the car and it was open. No idea if it was theft or just me misplacing it. Either way, I reached out to the team at getbrick, and they were incredibly understanding and ethical. No drama, no Kafkaesque bureaucratic forms and hoops—just kind, thoughtful communication. They even offered to send a replacement, which I really didn’t expect. Very lovely interactions with them.I just want to give them a massive shoutout. They’re a great company with real values. Their mission—to curb the endless algorithmic noise and help people unplug and experience life again. From boredom to wonder, away from endless scrolling back to meaningful engagement and human interactions.It all comes back to focus. And where we put our focus might just be one of the most powerful forces in the human condition. Someone once told me a magnifying glass in a field does nothing and is very pointless. However, at the right time of day, with the right weather and hit from the sun at the right angle with extreme pinpoint hyper-focus, it will create a fire that burns down an entire forest. That’s the power of focus.Anyway, the fact that the team at GetBrick handled even this small situation with such care—shows their ethics on every level. The personal level, of everyday people struggling with focus, ADHD and financial situations, to their global mission of liberating people’s time and attention again.

I have not felt so relaxed and clear in years. With the invention of reels, I lost hours filling myself with videos of utter garbage, but also with things I wasn’t doing. Which led to a low sense of self worth, and a feeling that I wasn’t achieving enough. I tried everything! Since acquiring this brick, I only spend my time on social media engaging with my friends and replying to messages. Which has changed from uncontrollably grabbing my phone to 30 minutes every 2 days whilst I eat breakfast. It’s like I’ve woken up from a fever dream. It’s seriously changed my life and I would recommend this product to anyone!

It works. Simple as that.

I never write reviews, but I had to for this. I’m the kind of person that is completely addicted to the Internet, and I lose hours of my time to scrolling. Not only that, it has had an impact on my attention and ability to focus on other things. I have tried dozens and dozens of other products, but I always just end up unblocking myself or finding a workaround. Brick is the first time I found a product that actually works. Scheduling blocking time particularly in the morning and evening feels like it is giving me my life back.Thank you for an amazing app.

Brick means that I do not have to focus my attention on managing distractions. I am good at avoiding the clarion call of my phone and am very disciplined in general, but these social media apps are designed based on the principles of distraction and the attention economy. Brick is a means of buying freedom from these companies’ generally successful attempts to purchase and demand our attention. Although the scheduling on the app was a little cumbersome to set up, it now works perfectly. I very much value the one-time rather than subscription pricing model and am grateful for all that Brick has given me.
