Brickium turns the bricks you already own into something new to build. Most of us have a bin of loose bricks and no idea what to make. Brickium keeps a list of what is in that bin and designs models that use only those parts, then walks you through building them one step at a time. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your bricks Photograph a handful of loose bricks and Brickium suggests which parts it sees. You check the list and correct the counts before anything is saved. You can also import a set by its number to add its whole parts list at once, or type a part number. 2. Say what you want to build Type it in plain words: "a small red car with four wheels", "a little house with a sloped roof". Or pick one of the ideas Brickium works out from what your bricks can really make. 3. Build it for real Every design is checked before you see it: every part counted, no pieces that collide, no step that cannot be assembled. Then you get step-by-step 3D instructions. The pieces for the current step are solid; what you have already built is shown faded, the way printed instructions do it. DESIGNED AROUND WHAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE • Your parts, by default. Brickium designs only with pieces you own that are not already used in another build. Switch that off and it may add common pieces you do not have, shown in grey. • You stay in charge of the list. A photo gives suggestions, not facts; nothing is added until you confirm it, and every count can be corrected later. • Honest failures. If your bricks cannot make what you asked for, Brickium says so instead of quietly changing your request, and it does not cost you anything. • Not happy with the result? Ask for another. BUILD MODE • A parts checklist with a picture of every piece, before step 1. • Rotate and zoom the 3D model at any step. • Pick up a build where you left it. • Take a model apart in the app and its parts go back into your available bricks. See a finished example before you add a single brick: it is on the home screen and needs no account. CREATIONS AND PACKS One creation = AI designs one model from your bricks, with building instructions. A new account gets one free creation, and another after finishing a first build. More come in creation packs: one-time purchases, no subscription, and they never expire. A creation is used only when a model is actually delivered; adding bricks, scanning, the example and failed attempts are free. PRIVACY No ads and no tracking. Photos are passed to Google's Gemini API for recognition and are not stored by Brickium; design requests are passed to OpenAI. Brickium asks your permission before the first of each. You can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app. Brickium is for people aged 16 and over.
