Brick Night Blocks Apps When You Enter the Bedroom, No Phone Tap Needed

Brick launched Brick Night, a $129 gadget that uses Bluetooth, a short-range wireless signal, to block chosen apps when you enter your bedroom. Unlike the $59 original, it has no NFC chip, the tap-to-pay technology, and no phone tap. Its zone covers up to 25 by 25 feet, powered by two coin-sized batteries. Brick says overrides are not easy.
