New Feature Ideas

As far as I know, when using the “Allow” list websites through Safari are not blocked. What about whitelisting certain websites also, and block the rest? Or have a separate/second list you can enable/disable that is a website blocklist. I don’t have certain apps installed to use them less frequently (like Reddit and LinkedIn), but these are not accesible when on allow mode. Another options would be to not just have 1 profile that is 1 ‘list’. But have different list and be able to choose multiple/link multiple lists to a profile. Freedom does this pretty well (but ofc does not have the physical barrier brick has). They also have pre-defined categories of frequently blocked websites (such as shopping, social media, video etc). Basically - would love to see more functionality to block websites🙏

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.

High schools need a way to block students use of phones, while still allowing certain apps (like for blood glucose monitoring). You could create one for schools where the brick determines what is allowed, not the individual user. And it's blocked for a certain number of hours unless unbricked. Happy to give you more details of how it could work, if you're interested. It would be a massive market....

I use one at home to brick it, the unbrick one is at the gym, so I have to at least go there. Alternatively, have access to health/fitness data and allow unbricking on some apps only after some activity goal, like walk 5k steps to use social media.

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!

Instead of just “THIS IS A DISTRACTION - YOUR PHONE IS CURRENTLY BRICKED” etc, allow this to be customized. I want to be able to put something like “DON’T GIVE IN TO WEAKNESS JUST LOCK IN CHAMP” or something.

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.
