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.

Trains your brain to not even think of the addictive apps you've blocked. I find myself too tired to go to the fridge to unbrick. I've been getting much better sleep as a result of not scrolling SM before bed and l've been able to watch shows uninterrupted, without having to pause and rewind to catch what I missed while my head was down in my phone, all of a sudden the days feel a little bit longer with more of my time back in my hands and off the apps.

I was using my phone 4-6hrs a day, scrolling on social media and online shopping. I was missing out on quality time with family and putting off to do’s. After two weeks of consistent use I am down to 37mins/day. Dont wait buy it now. 37mins of screen time/day I was using my phone 4-6hrs a day, scrolling on social media and online shopping.

I didn’t realize how much I was mindlessly scrolling until I started bricking! There is one thing in life that you can’t get back -Time! Bricking has given me time!!!

Amazing app! Only thing I’d like to be able to have scheduled bricks end. For example start bricked mode at 9pm and end at 8am the next day. Wonderful Amazing app! Only thing I’d like to be able to have scheduled bricks end. For example start bricked mode at 9pm and end at 8am the next day.
