About

Brick

Brick lays a big goal out on a board: every task is a brick, and every brick breaks down into smaller ones. You see the goal as a whole and what it is built from — no lists, no nested folders. There is nothing to learn: a new project is a single brick on the board. Drag a new brick onto it and it becomes a part of it. Finished work is dragged onto the checkmark, clutter into the bin, and any action is undone with a single tap. No menus, no settings. Everything works right on your device: boards are created and stored offline, an account is optional, and there are no ads and no purchases. THE WHOLE GOAL ON ONE BOARD • A project is a board, a task is a brick; bricks nest inside each other • The board grows wider and deeper — pan and zoom it like a map • A branch you are done looking at collapses with one gesture, and a collapsed brick shows how many bricks it hides • Horizontal board: turn the project 90° if it reads better that way EVERYTHING BY DRAGGING • A new brick is dropped onto another brick — and becomes a part of it • To move a brick under another one, just drag it there • Mark done, collapse or delete — drag the brick onto the zone you need, no menus • Changed your mind — the done mark comes off with the same gesture ONE TAP BACK • Every action on the board can be undone and redone • Move the bricks around without thinking twice: the board cannot be broken EVERY BRICK HAS A PAGE OF ITS OWN • The text of a brick is edited right on the board • Notes: why this brick matters and what exactly has to be done • Risks: a list of what not to do so the brick does not fall apart YOUR PROJECTS • A list of projects with the date of the last edit and search by name • Important projects are pinned to the top — by dragging, too • Signing in with e-mail is optional: without it the app works in full, with it your boards sync across your own devices and come back after a phone change • No password — only a code from the letter • Russian or English interface • A support e-mail one tap away — we read and answer in person PRIVACY BY DEFAULT Without an account your boards never leave the device. Only anonymised statistics of how the app works are collected — with none of the texts of your boards and bricks. No ads, no purchases, no selling of data. Data and account are deleted right in the settings. A big goal stops being frightening once you can see the bricks it is built from.
