Brick Night costs more than double because it knows where you sleep

Brick, the company that made a $59 brick you tap your phone against to stop using apps, just released a bigger, pricier version that knows where you sleep. The Brick Night costs $129, more than double, and uses Bluetooth to automatically block your selected apps when you walk into your bedroom. No tapping required. It sets a location zone up to 25 feet by 25 feet, runs on two CR2477 batteries, and targets the specific doomscrolling that happens after you've already crawled under the covers. That's a clever pivot from the original's tap-to-block mechanic, and honestly, the price bump makes sense if it actually keeps you off Twitter at 2 a.m. The catch? You still have to set it up and admit you need it.
