The five steps to set Brickify up on iPhone or Android, and how it's built.
Set a 4-digit PIN you'll remember but won't enter on impulse.
Parent PIN, authenticator app, or email code. Both factors are required to unbrick — losing one doesn't lock you out forever.
Three one-time backup codes are generated. Write them down. If you ever lose your PIN and second factor, one of these codes will get you back in.
Pick exactly which apps are disabled when bricked. Everything else stays accessible.
Your chosen apps are blocked at the OS level. To unblock them, you need both your PIN and your second factor.
Five layers, starting with the phone itself. Swipe or use the arrows to go up through them.
A phone you already own.
Calls, texts and data come through the SIM and internet as usual. You can brick the internet browser.
You can choose not to use a SIM or eSIM, to have a Wi-Fi only device like a landline.
The phone's own system-level controls do the blocking, which is what makes Brickify hard to get round. Brickify makes them simple to set up.
Brickify makes the extra protection easy to set up, and emails parents about certain risky actions, like a new app being installed or protection being removed.
What you set up and change over time.
