Scrolling isn’t summer.
Sure, you could spend three hours doom-scrolling in bed while it’s nice outside, but let’s be real, that isn’t living. That’s just wasting battery. The Brick fixes this. It’s also on sale right now.
Prices drop through May 25. One Brick goes for $50.15. Regular price is $59, so you save roughly $8.85, or about 15%.
Want a better deal? Buy two. Two Bricks cost $94.40. That’s down from $118. That’s a 20% cut.
Do you need two? Probably not for just your phone, unless you have a tablet too, or housemates who also need to unplug. One unit works with unlimited devices. No subscriptions. No monthly fees. You buy it, it stays yours, done.
How does it actually work?
It’s anti-cheat. Physical anti-cheat.
You open the app on your phone. Pick the apps you want locked—Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, the doom feed of choice. Tap your phone against The Brick. They’re gone. Locked.
To get them back, you have to walk over. Tap your phone to the device again. Done.
Mashable reporter Samantha Mangino wrote that it taught her how to be bored again. More importantly, she claimed it cut her screen time by half. Half. That is massive.
She keeps hers on the fridge. Not because she loves fridge magnets, but for the friction.
“That small physical element makes a world of a difference. Knowing I’d have to get up… is enough to deter me.”
Getting up requires effort. Effort stops impulse. Most blockers let you tap ‘undo’ right on the screen. The Brick doesn’t let you cheat like that. It forces movement.
And here’s the kicker—can you really get out of a relationship with your thumb that easily? Probably not, without the right tool.
No extra cost to share it, either. Hand your brick to your partner or roomate if they need the intervention too. It scales with the household, not the price tag.
So. The deal ends May 25. You can save $8, or almost $9 if you double up. Or you can spend summer staring at pixels, waiting for the next notification, wondering why your friends keep going to those BBQs you keep missing.
Your book pile is waiting.
