Anyone use Brick to help with phone overuse?

it’s a physical device that locks different apps on your phone. Chasing me around Instagram 😂

Wondering if it’s an expensive gimmick or helps with discipline?

@hastenotwasteir is going very well when I use it I can go days without unlocking and it is a deterrent as the app Foqos- only lets you break the setting three times in x number of weeks so you are put off. I have it set so I can have a 15 minute break during one session and it surprises me actually that after about five minutes I’ve wasted enough time on social media to them set it going again. I do still waste time on my phone when it’s not running, but during the day it’s really good. Having to traipse down to the kitchen from my home office to unlock it really works!

highly recommend using the NFC tags and free Foqos app.
