Full 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://getbrick.com/pages/privacy-policy Accessibility Service Disclosure: Brick requires Android's Accessibility Service to detect when apps are launched, which is essential for blocking distracting apps during your focus sessions. This service only monitors app package names to identify which apps to block - no personal content or data is accessed. This permission is necessary for Brick's core app blocking functionality.

What's new

Brick helps you use your phone more intentionally by temporarily removing distracting apps and notifications. Our unique NFC-powered hardware makes it easy to disconnect and reconnect when you choose. Tap your phone to the Brick to block distractions and start a focus session. When you're ready to reconnect, tap it again. With the Brick app, you can: - Customize which apps to block. - Track your usage history and see your progress. - Contact us with feedback and feature requests.
