BRIK is a minimal Android app that helps you block your phone for a set duration — turning it into a "brick" so you can focus.
You can install BRIK in two ways:
- Go to the Releases section of this repository
- Download the latest APK file
- Install it on your Android device
- Clone this repository
- Open the project in Android Studio
- Build & run it on your device
BRIK requires the following permissions to function properly:
-
Device Administrator
This permission makes it harder for the user to bypass the block by force-stopping the app or killing its service. It ensures the blocking feature stays active and reliable. -
Post Notifications
Used to display ongoing status and reminders in the notification panel. -
Draw Over Other Apps
Required to start the blocking activity even when the app is in the background, ensuring the block cannot be bypassed.
