Brick - Ditch Distractions

Brick - Ditch Distractions is a unique focus tool that combines software with NFC-powered hardware to help you block distracting apps and notifications. The Brick app was built by two young guys who understood how easily smartphones can pull attention away from real life, so they created a simple solution that lets you tap your device to enter a distraction-free zone. With Brick, you can customize which apps stay unblocked and track your usage history to see your focus improve over time.

How Brick Works

Using Brick is straightforward: open the app, tap your NFC device, and immediately all distracting apps and notifications are blocked until you tap again. The Accessibility Service monitors app launches only to identify which apps to block, ensuring no personal data is accessed. This system gives you full control over your focus sessions, whether you need to work, spend time with loved ones, or simply take a walk without phone interruptions.

Customization and Privacy

Brick allows you to choose exactly which apps remain unblocked during focus mode, so essential tools like messaging or work apps stay accessible. The app also tracks your usage history, helping you measure your progress as you spend more time undistracted. Privacy is a core priority in Brick - none of your usage information leaves your phone, and detailed policies are available for transparency.

The app is designed for offline use since the NFC tap and app blocking work entirely on your device without needing internet access. Whether you are a student, professional, or anyone seeking better phone habits, Brick - Ditch Distractions offers a practical way to reclaim your attention without sacrificing the powerful tools your phone provides.
