The Brick Phone Distraction Blocker: Overview
The Brick is a physical device that helps turn your phone into a more intentional tool. It adds a real step between you and distracting apps, so focus feels easier.
- Physical app blocking: Tap your phone to the Brick to activate a focus mode. Because you need the device again to unblock apps, it creates useful friction that is harder to ignore.
- Custom focus modes: The app lets you block selected apps or websites, or keep only essentials available. So, you can set modes for work, study, family time, or any routine.
- Remote start and schedules: You can start Brick Mode from the app and schedule sessions each day. This helps you build habits without needing to remember every time.
- Usage tracking and strict mode: Built-in history shows how long you stay Bricked. Strict Mode also helps prevent app deletion, which supports stronger follow-through.
The Brick suits people who want fewer distractions and clearer boundaries, without a subscription or complex setup.
