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?

    Wait… so it’s just a hardware middle man for Do Not Disturb?

    You can leave the key behind

    Fun idea until I’m out and about & realize the one app I locked would be useful.

      The screenshots look like existing iPhone functionality to limit distractions. The only difference may be that is designed for time, such as only 2hr games per day, whereas I imagine that scan triggers it instantly
