GoKawiilBrick launches bedroom device that auto-blocks phone apps via Bluetooth
Brick, maker of the phone-blocking device Brick, released a new product called Brick Night that automatically blocks selected apps once a phone enters a user-defined bedroom space, using Bluetooth signal strength to detect proximity. Users set custom app-blocking modes and time windows in the Brick app, and apps unblock automatically when the phone leaves the space. The device is battery-powered with batteries lasting at least two years, works with both iOS and Android, and can be shared by multiple users in one bedroom.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The product targets a widely cited statistic that 87% of US adults keep phones in their bedrooms, and research linking bedtime screen use to poorer sleep, suggesting a market for automated rather than willpower-based phone discipline. Unlike the original Brick, which requires a physical tap to unlock apps, Brick Night's location-based automation could appeal to users seeking passive rather than active intervention. Its success may hinge on whether Bluetooth proximity detection proves reliable enough to avoid false unlocks or blocks.
- Brick Night automatically blocks chosen apps when a phone enters a defined bedroom area, using Bluetooth proximity detection.
- It differs from the original Brick, which requires physically tapping the phone to unblock apps rather than using location triggers.
