I spend way too much time on my iPhone and, more specifically, social media.
I have tried cutting back, to no avail, but this little square could be the answer to all of my problems.
This is the brick.
You scan it with your iPhone to block the apps of your choosing, which, in my case, are the social media apps I spend way too many hours doomscrolling on.
you can't get back into them until you rescan.
So you can still use your phone for all the important stuff like calling, texting, Ubering, et cetera, while temporarily tuning out the other stuff.
I've been trying it for a couple of weeks to see if it could actually help me curb my social media use, which is a big ask, and spoiler alert, it has.
Setup is super easy.
Start by downloading the Brick app, and then you can create your block list of the apps you want to limit your access to.
Then, if you try to open one of those apps, it gives you this scary message about how it's a distraction, which it definitely is, and you can't get back into those apps until you rescan the Brick.
