Bricked vs Read First

Brick the apps that steal your day. Bricked locks the apps you choose — and unlike other blockers, the brick can't be broken on a whim. No loopholes, no "just five more minutes." Set it, and it holds. WHY BRICKED • The brick holds — a real block, not a nudge you'll ignore • Daily limits & bedtime schedules — apps lock automatically • Your scroll-free time stacks into brick tiers you actually earn • A day streak that rewards staying on track • Private by design — nothing ever leaves your phone HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick your apps, set a limit or a schedule 2. When time's up, they're bricked 3. Reclaim your evenings, your focus, your sleep Free to start: block your key apps + see this week's stats. Bricked+ unlocks unlimited apps, multiple schedules, per-app limits, hold to unlock, strict mode and your full history. Take your attention back. Get Bricked.

Your scrolling apps stay shut until you've read today's pages. Read First uses Apple's Screen Time to lock the apps that eat your evenings. Read your pages, snap a photo of the page you're on, and they open back up. That's the whole deal. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick the apps that take your time 2. Add your book and the date you want to finish it 3. Read First works out today's page count 4. Read, snap the page, type where you got to. Your apps open. FOCUS TIMER Spin the dial, lock your apps for 5 minutes or 2 hours, and just read. A gentle tune plays when you're done, and the countdown shows on your Lock Screen. MAKE IT YOURS • All day: locked until you've read • Reading hours: locked only during the hours you choose • Relock rounds: read, get a few hours free, then a new page count • Normal or Hard: decide whether the lock screen can be dismissed • Reading reminders and a Home Screen widget for today's pages A LIBRARY THAT GROWS Covers pulled in automatically, an up-next shelf, your finished books and a daily streak. And Folio, a small book who is very happy when you read. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. Your books, pages and photos stay on your iPhone. Screen Time gives Read First anonymous tokens only, so it can't see which apps you picked or anything you do in them. We use anonymous analytics to improve the app, never your name, your books or which apps you lock. SUBSCRIPTION Read First requires a subscription. The plans, prices and any free trial are shown in the app before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at the end of a free trial, or when you subscribe if there is no trial. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions.
