Description
Brick was created because we believe that life is better when phones help us do more of what matters, instead of constantly distracting us with things that don't. As two young guys, we were raised on smartphones - so we decided to make something to help us use them the way they were meant to be used.
Brick is a combination of software and NFC-powered hardware that temporarily removes distracting apps (and their notifications) from your phone - leaving only the powerful tools you choose.
With Brick, simply open the app and tap your device to block all distracting apps and notifications. Until you return to the device, you'll be free to engage with what really matters - whether that be getting productive work done, spending time with friends and family, or simply going for a walk. Once you're ready to reconnect, just tap the device again to unblock everything.
The Brick app allows you to:
- customize the apps you want to leave unblocked while Bricked
- track your usage history to see your improvement as you spend more time undistracted
- contact the creators to give input for feature requests and any necessary improvements / fixes
We believe that privacy is essential - because of this, none of your usage information leaves your phone. See our Privacy Policy for more information: https://zest-legume-e0c.notion.site/Privacy-Policy-ca7b41eaa1c441ae855cdfa69d7eb0cc

Ratings and Reviews
Thank you
I absolutely love this. Right now I’m lying on my bed using my phone and it feels like so long ago when I last did this even though I would literally do it every day. Im so grateful I’ve been struggling with phone addiction for years and this is the only thing that has genuinely worked. I constantly have to check myself regularly and notice myself still getting the urges but this has been absolutely perfect. Thank you so much
Developer Response ,
So glad Brick is making a difference!! Really appreciate the review, and let us know if any feedback or questions for us to make Brick even better
It works!
It absolutely does what you pay it to do. Congratulations on the idea it is genius.
Buggy
The app continually crashes during setup.
Developer Response ,
We know crashing isn’t fun and are working hard to improve … users have found 1) searching apps 2) copy and pasting app names 3) voice text and 4) a good restart can help. Hoping that can make the setup process easier, and if not we’d be happy to help at hello@getbrick.app
