Your phone minus the distractions (getbrick.app)

This is actually pretty brilliant and innovative.

With other solutions, the "key" that re-enables distractions is always present. Brick allows you to leave that key behind, turning your phone into a new, distraction-free device until you return.

This tickles some part of my brain... The scanning part is so cool. Would you use an app like this?

$50 is a lot for a NFC tag that triggers DND mode..

Yeah but it also prevents you from toggling it back on when you are away from the brick. That's the point. :)
