Gen-Z Founder Introduces “Brick”: The Dumbest Smart Idea You May Love

In a world where your phone knows your sleep schedule better than your spouse and reminds you to hydrate more than your mother, a rebellious little gadget just launched—and it’s called Brick. No, it’s not something you throw at your phone when Instagram tells you your screen time went up 35% this week.

It’s something smarter: a sleek, physical device that temporarily disables distracting apps and notifications on your phone. That’s right—Brick turns your $1,000 anxiety machine into a peaceful, productive tool… or at least something close.

No subscriptions. No settings rabbit holes. No AI asking how it can help you while it ruins your focus. You just plug in, choose what apps stay, and the rest? Gone. Like exes in your blocked list.

Designed for people who want to be on their phone without being owned by it, Brick offers a minimalist path to mental freedom. It’s like airplane mode’s cooler cousin, but it actually lets you use Google Maps and Slack without falling into a TikTok coma.

And here’s the kicker: Brick is a one-time buy. No monthly fees. No microtransactions. Just a sleek device that quietly says, “You’re better than doomscrolling.”

Sometimes the best tech is the one that gets out of your way.
