Transform your digital life with our innovative device that helps you create a healthier balance between your online and offline worlds. Eliminate distractions, boost productivity, and enhance mindfulness with Brick's simple, effective approach to mindful phone usage.

This is actually pretty brilliant and innovative.

With other solutions, the “key” that re-enables distractions is always present. Brick allows you to leave that key behind, turning your phone into a new, distraction-free device until you return.

This tickles some part of my brain… The scanning part is so cool. Would you use an app like this?

    The example they give is notifications for a bunch of apps I don’t use. If you don’t use Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media, is this of any value at all?

      I don’t understand why one should leave notifications on even if they did use those apps. I honestly feel like the phone app is the only one for which it’s justified to be allowed to demand your immediate attention. I’d argue that notifications for even text messages are unecessary unless maybe if it’s someone like your parents, spouse or kids.
