Brick has launched Brick Night, a new device designed to automatically block selected smartphone apps when users enter the bedroom.

Unlike app blockers that rely on schedules or manual activation, Brick Night uses Bluetooth to detect when a phone enters a designated sleep space. During chosen hours, it activates a pre-set blocking mode and restricts access to selected apps.

When the user leaves the area, the system automatically removes the block.

The product is intended to create a stronger boundary around late-night and early-morning phone use, particularly for people who struggle with scrolling social media, checking emails or using other distracting apps in bed.

Multiple people can use the same Brick Night device, with each person connecting through the Brick app and choosing which apps they want blocked.

The launch builds on the company’s original Brick product, which was designed around the idea of adding physical friction to smartphone use rather than relying entirely on willpower or software settings.

Brick says the bedroom was a logical next step because it is one of the environments where people are most likely to reach for their phones at the beginning and end of the day.

The company has also pointed to research linking screen use in bed with poorer sleep duration and insomnia, although Brick Night itself is not positioned as a medical device.

The system can be configured around selected hours so users can decide when the blocking behaviour should apply.

Brick Night is available from 23 October 2026 for $206 in Australia through Brick’s website.

The launch reflects a broader shift in digital wellness products, with companies increasingly looking at physical environments and automation rather than relying only on reminders, timers and screen-time controls.
