Brick Launches $129 Night App Blocker With Bluetooth Room Triggers

What changed

Brick has launched Brick Night, a $129 device that automatically blocks selected phone apps when you enter a room such as your bedroom. It uses Bluetooth, removing the tap-your-phone-against-the-device step required by the original $59 Brick.

Why it matters

Brick Night turns app blocking from a deliberate action into a location-triggered one. Put it in the bedroom, and the device is meant to activate as you enter; choose another room, and that room becomes the boundary instead.

That makes the product less about willpower at the exact moment someone is already scrolling in bed. It also raises the practical question that matters more than the launch price: whether Bluetooth-based activation works reliably enough to make the $129 device feel automatic rather than merely expensive. The reporting does not establish whether Brick Night actually reduces doomscrolling or how dependable its room detection is.
