AI Summary

A $59 device called Brick lets users tap their phone against it to trigger bundled software that blocks access to selected apps, aiming to curb doom‑scrolling and other distractions. The system requires users to pre‑choose which apps to block, and once activated, the phone cannot open those apps until the block is lifted.
