What Happened?
The Brick Night is considerably bigger then the OG Brick, and more than double the price. | Image: Brick Brick, the company behind the $59 gadget that blocks you from using apps on your phone, has launched a new device that's designed to help you cut back on doomscrolling in bed. The $129 Brick Night introduces a location-based element: instead of requiring you to tap your phone against the device, like the OG Brick, this version uses Bluetooth to automatically kick in when you enter your bedroom (or any other room you put it in). The Brick Night uses two CR2477 batteries, and you can set a location zone of up to 25 feet x 25 feet.
