Meet Brick
One Simple Way to
Overcome Digital Distraction
What if there was an actual wall between you and digital distraction? Not another screen time limit you can easily ignore, but a physical barrier that makes mindless scrolling nearly impossible. After 30 days of testing, I've found the tool that finally works: The Brick.

Tempting apps? Blocked. Helpful ones? Still accessible.
If you try to open something outside your focus mode plan, your phone interrupts you gently but clearly:
“This is a distraction.”
That one line brings me back. Every time.
Traditional screen time limits fail because they rely on willpower. When you're bored, stressed, or avoiding something, willpower is the first thing to go.
The Brick solves this with physics, not psychology. You tap your iPhone to Brick, and instantly your phone enters a mode you’ve designed.
How many times have you seen your phones Time Limit screen and just tapped "Ignore Limit for Today"?

That extra friction? It's enough to break autopilot habits entirely.
- Tap your iPhone to the Brick to activate "Brick Mode"
- Choose which apps stay accessible (calls, maps, notes) and which get blocked (social media, news, games)
- Place the Brick somewhere intentional (kitchen counter, fridge, desk drawer, car dashboard)
- To access blocked apps, you must physically return to the Brick and unbrick your phone
Here's how it works:
The Brick is a palm-sized magnetic device that creates physical barriers between you and digital distraction.
What Is The Brick?
As a Habit Coach, I understand how habits work. The Brick disrupts the cue-routine-reward cycle by adding intentional friction. Instead of fighting willpower, you're changing your environment.
Rewires Your Habit Loop
Why This Changes
Everything
The company doesn't collect data about your usage. Your digital habits stay private.
Privacy
Uses NFC (Near Field Communication) - the same tech as contactless payments like tapping and buying a coffee at Starbucks. Tap to activate, walk away to maintain boundaries.

"After 30 days of testing, I can say this is one of the most effective physical tools I've encountered for digital wellness." — Julianne August, Digital Wellness Coach
I bought this device with my own money and tested it for 30 days before writing any review. The company didn't ask me to promote it.

How It's Different
How is this different from just putting my phone in another room?
You keep useful functions (calls, maps, music) while blocking distracting apps. Plus, the Brick travels with you and creates consistent boundaries anywhere.
What if my kids get access to the Brick?
Anyone with physical access can unbrick, so secure storage is important. Strict Mode prevents app deletion when bricked.
Does it work with Android?
Currently iOS only, but Android compatibility is coming soon.
What if I lose my Brick?
The app includes emergency unbricks. If those run out, deleting the app unbricks your phone (unless Strict Mode is enabled).
Can I still receive emergency calls?
Yes! Phone calls cannot be blocked per Apple's emergency policy.
