Brick launches $129 Brick Night to curb bedtime phone use

Brick, the maker of a $59 gadget that blocks apps on your phone, has released a new device aimed at reducing bedtime doomscrolling. The $129 Brick Night uses Bluetooth to activate automatically when you enter your bedroom or another designated room, rather than requiring you to tap your phone against it as the original Brick does. It runs on two CR2477 batteries and lets users set a location zone of up to 25 by 25 feet. Like the original, it allows selected apps to be blocked instead of locking down the entire phone.
