Brick - Your Phone, Minus the Distractions
getbrick.app
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?

      Yeah but it also prevents you from toggling it back on when you are away from the brick. That’s the point. :)

        It will add some barriers, but it will not actually prevent you. It is still your phone you could uninstall whatever app they’re using.

        I completely agree, there is value in being digitally disconnected, detoxing if you will. Using a work profile, and turning it off when you’re not working so you don’t see any notifications is a great way to do that, if you want to use dnd mode great.
