This pocket-sized gadget helped cut down our editor's screen time - and it's on sale
Brick can curb your screen time, and it's on sale for a limited time.
ZDNET's editors have shared a deal that may help reduce your screen time - the Brick gadget. This magnetic square, equipped with a compatible app, enables users to temporarily disable certain apps on their phones using NFC technology. By taping their phone to the Brick, or "bricking" it, users can prevent these apps from running until they tap the device again to "unbrick" it.
The gadget comes with five free "unbricks" for emergencies. ZDNET's health and wearables editor, Nina Raemont, claims the Brick helped her reduce her screen time by 7% in just one week. The gadget is currently on sale for up to 25% off during Brick's back-to-school sale.
