New Feature Ideas

It would be nice to have the option to set a end time to a schedule. For example a bedtime schedule that you set from say 9:00-5:00 so I dont get sucked into my phone and stay up to late. Or another to be brick from 5:00am until 6:00am so I again dont get distracted by my phone and get productive reading or exercise or such done before work.

I find I’ll be doing really well with brick controlling my doom scrolling by blocking my socials, but then something I need to unbrick will come up and I just seem to forget to brick again. Sometimes it’s hours other times it’s days. A cheap to implement but super valuable feature would be to have an option when tapping to unbrick is to unbrick for a limited time, perhaps with choices like 15 mins 1 hour 6 hours 1 day After the time has elapsed my phone would go back to being bricked automatically

Made a slide to explain the feature I came up with. Hope y’all enjoy https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gQMi3sjOIpPNhlpuCCsYotFRlaG048e8JouwhjW4X5c/edit?usp=sharing

I think it would be helpful to have a widget that exposes the brick button. That way, from my lock screen or home screen I can brick my phone, without having to swipe to the app, open the app, and then press and hold the brick button.

There's an admin device who'll see the blocked apps of other devices.

A time limit on certain apps before you need to walk to the brick to unbrick the apps would be a really nice middle ground on your days off.

I haven’t found the Activity tab useful because I use several different bricking configurations, each with varying levels of temptation and distraction. The Activity page doesn’t track which specific brick setup was active during a session—it only shows the total time I was bricked. This makes the data unhelpful. For example, knowing I was bricked for 6 hours with only YouTube blocked isn’t comparable to being bricked for 3 hours with YouTube, social media, and messages all blocked. What would be more helpful is the ability to see how long I was able to stay bricked with each specific setup, so I can better evaluate which configurations are most effective for me.

You'll not be able to turn off or snooze the alarm unless you tap the Brick

I would love the ability to brick my phone via an apple shortcut. I want to set up the new schedules, but want to make sure it only happens if I’m at home for example. It could be bad if I brick automatically, but I’m not home and have no way to unbrick if needed (outside of using emergency unbricks). If I could turn on brick mode via a shortcut I could add all sorts of conditions around it via apple automations or home assistant.
