Brick Set Up

We’re excited for you to start using Brick! Here’s a guide to get started.

 

Please note that an iPhone password is required to set up Screen Time access. If you prefer not to have a password, you can remove after your first use.

 

1. Read through Onboarding Materials

 

Press 'Continue' on bottom of first two pages after reading.

 

 

2. Enter Email to create Brick account

 

Type in Email for your Brick account where you'll get a one-time code to confirm. No password required!

 

 

3. Enter 6-digit verification code

 

Note code may be in 'Spam' folder.

 

 

4. Activate your Brick

 

Tap the center 'Activate' button. A prompt saying 'Ready to Scan' should appear, and you can tap the top of your phone to the Brick. If 'Ready to Scan' does not appear, or the tap does not work, check our support resources under 'Brick Not Activating' here. 

 

 

5. Press 'Start Using' on bottom of screen after activating

 

 

6. Allow Screen Time settings access - press Continue

 

Allowing Screen Time access gives Brick ability to block and unblock apps. If you accidentally press 'Don't Allow', press the center Brick icon for a second prompt. Note that an iPhone password is required to allow screen time access. 

 

 

7. Create a mode

 

Select which apps you'd like to block or allow by creating a mode. Select the 'Mode' button under the center Brick icon. Press the + Button in the top right of the pop up to create the mode. 

 

 

 

8. Add Mode

 

Follow the prompts to add your first mode - add a name, choose whether you'd like to block or allow apps, and select your apps. Note there is a 50 app limit. If you are reaching the limit, try switching your 'Mode Type' between Blocking and Allowing. Press 'Done' when complete.

 

 

9. Start your Brick journey

 

Enter Brick mode by tapping the center Brick icon and pressing the phone to the Brick or holding the center Brick icon for 5 seconds.
