Enter Brick, the app attempting to patch that eroded focus, because apparently zoning out like a zombie doomscrolling isn’t 'quality time.' As they put it, “Fixing my eroded attention span has been a journey. Brick has sort of helped.” Spoiler: It’s a start, like a participation trophy for your brain.
