"My sons' school went smartphone-free, there was an old phone in a drawer, and they were ready for something. So I built Brickify."
Anne Mundy, founder, engineer and mum · Why I built Brickify →
If you've signed the Pact and can wait until 14, wait. That's a good choice. Brickify is for families who've decided a phone is needed now.
The school day is covered. The rest is up to us.
School rules stop at the gate. A phone needs different rules at different times, depending on your family. If you have to change them by hand, it won't last. Brickify switches between them by itself.
Set it once. No 9pm arguments.
Build the schedule once, when you're calm. After that the phone switches itself, and opening it early takes your PIN and a second factor.
You choose the apps
Maps for the walk home, calls only at bedtime. Open more as trust grows.
You hold the keys
A PIN plus a second factor, with recovery codes.
Guided setup
Step by step, start to finish.
Not a monitoring app. Brickify doesn't read messages, browsing history or location. It blocks apps on a schedule you set. What it does, and doesn't →
Not a brick phone, Screenable or Canopy either. Compare: Brick phone · Screenable · Canopy
