App Blocker vs KEEPit

Bricked is a one-tap app blocker and focus timer for moments when your phone needs to get out of the way. Pick a duration, tap once, and Bricked shields distracting apps and sites on this device using Apple’s Screen Time controls. When the timer ends, access returns automatically. Need to unlock early? Make it intentional. Bricked turns early unlocks into a tap challenge: one tap for every second remaining. If there are 10 minutes left, that means 600 taps. You can stop the challenge any time and keep your apps blocked. No app lists to build. No schedules to maintain. No accounts, analytics, or tracking. Just a clean timer, a clear block, and a little friction when you are tempted to bail early. Use Bricked for deep work, studying, reading, bedtime, workouts, meals, meetings, or any break where you want your phone quiet. Features: - One-tap blocking for distracting apps - Custom focus durations - Automatic unblock when time is up - Tap challenge for early unlocks - Simple progress ring and countdown - Private by design: no accounts, no tracking - Built with Apple’s Screen Time controls Bricked is designed for personal focus and self-control. It is not a parental monitoring app and does not track what you do.
