## What is Brickr?

Brickr turns your worst-habit apps off — for real.

Pick the apps you lose hours to and give each a daily time budget. The moment you cross it, that app BRICKS: a full-screen block you can't just swipe away. The only way back in is a deliberate, physical act — tapping the NFC tag you registered, or scanning your QR code. No tag nearby? Then it stays locked until tomorrow. That tiny bit of friction is the whole point: it turns "just five more minutes" into a decision instead of a reflex.

HOW IT WORKS
• Choose apps and set a daily minute limit for each.
• Use the app normally. When you hit a limit, Brickr blocks it.
• Tap your NFC tag (or scan your QR code) to unbrick for the rest of the day.
• Everything resets at midnight, so tomorrow starts fresh.

BUILT FOR FOCUS
• NFC or QR — use a cheap NFC sticker, or a printed QR code if you don't have one.
• A custom lock screen that reminds you why you set the limit.
• An emergency unlock for the moments you genuinely need it.

INSIGHTS THAT ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING
• A weekly Focus Score, an Apple Health–style ring and a 7-day chart.
• See how many times each app bricked, your clean-day streak, and more.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Brickr uses Apple's Screen Time technology. Your app choices and usage never leave your device.
No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Ever.

Put the temptation just out of reach. Live a little more fully.
