New Feature Ideas

Would love to be able to block youtube.com/shorts/ but allow /watch. I think that particular use case would be in the spirit of brick.

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

You already have a timer that ends bricking after a set time. I want the reverse: a timer that automatically rebricks the phone X minutes after I unbrick. The reason: once I've unbricked for a legitimate reason, it's tempting not to go back into brick mode. An automatic rebrick removes that decision point — I unbrick, do the thing I needed to do, and the phone goes back to bricked without me having to actively choose it again. Two options that would both be useful: Global setting: "after unbricking, rebrick automatically in 10 / 20 / 30 mins" Per-schedule setting (more flexible): if a schedule is set to run 8am–6pm and I unbrick during that window, rebrick 10 mins later automatically. Outside the schedule, no auto-rebrick The per-schedule version is ideal because it respects the windows I've already decided I want to be bricked in, and treats unbricks within those windows as exceptions rather than as me overriding the whole schedule.

Making the mature content filter per app would allow me to still have mature music playing from Apple Music/spotify while blocking mature content in safari for example. Losing my music is a dealbreaker for the feature as it is now :/

I'd love location-based triggers for both bricking and unbricking. My specific use case: At home = where I have the most trouble with phone addiction → brick automatically when I arrive Out of the house (office, seeing friends) = I'm present, not tempted, and may genuinely need apps I've blocked → unbrick automatically when I leave Right now my worry is: I brick in the morning, leave home, get to the office, and I'm still bricked. The current workarounds all have problems: Setting up "allowed" apps conservatively → risk being stuck without something I need, plus the limit of 50 apps makes it hard to do this Carrying the brick with me → easy to forget (I have ADHD) Buying a second brick at £54 to keep at the office → don't want to, and leaving it there isn't safe (cleaners etc could pick it up) Location-based auto-brick on arriving home + auto-unbrick on leaving home would solve this cleanly and matches how my actual addiction pattern works (location-driven, not time-driven).

And a short one at that. Want to create one called “no social/games” and I can’t even get to the “m”. I don’t know sht about coding but it seems like a weird restriction to place on the user.

It would ramp my commitment to Brick if I knew it would text a buddy when I unbrick. Would also be a phenomenal viral loop for you to sell more Bricks!
