The device relies on two CR2477 batteries to maintain a location zone spanning up to 25 feet by 25 feet. Users retain the ability to whitelist specific applications rather than disabling the entire phone, ensuring that essential tools remain available while addictive feeds are silenced. Because the system operates in the background, the company claims it integrates into existing evening routines without adding extra steps.
Brick’s New Night Device Automates Bedtime Phone Restrictions
A new $129 hardware solution from Brick aims to curb bedtime doomscrolling by using Bluetooth to automatically restrict smartphone access. Unlike its predecessor, which required a manual tap, the Brick Night creates a geofenced zone that triggers app blocking as soon as a user enters a designated room.
Support for multiple users allows individual household members to configure unique blocking windows and app selections within the same space. Despite these features, the device lacks the NFC capabilities found in the original $59 model. Consequently, the Night version cannot facilitate the tap-based blocking that defines the first iteration, forcing a choice between the two hardware approaches.
