Approximately 150 words
BrickOS is a retro Android home launcher and focus app from SgtZaddy Productions. It replaces the usual icon field with four purpose-built interfaces: animated Tiles, click-wheel Fruit, typography-led Tune, and the DOS-style Command prompt. Each runs installed apps while keeping phone, messages, contacts, camera, gallery, music, maps, calendar, clock, alarms, calculator, and other chosen tools close. Brick Lock lets the user choose a duration and approve the apps that should remain available. Optional Lock Guard uses Android Accessibility only to identify the app that came to the foreground during an active lock and return to BrickOS when that app is not approved; it cannot retrieve screen content. The free version uses credits for locks and skin changes, with optional rewarded ads to earn more. A one-time Premium purchase removes ads and credit limits. BrickOS requires no account, stores its settings on the device, and is available now on Google Play.
Full product description
Make your phone feel like a tool again.
BrickOS is a retro Android home launcher with four distinct interfaces, fast access to essential apps, and a timed focus mode called Brick Lock.
Choose Tiles for animated live tiles, Fruit for click-wheel navigation, Tune for oversized typography and directional controls, or Command for a DOS-style prompt in five phosphor colors. Every interface uses the same practical launcher tools with a different look and navigation style.
Open phone, messages, camera, gallery, music, calendar, clock, calculator, maps, and other launchable apps from one home screen. You choose which installed app BrickOS uses for supported shortcuts.
Brick Lock is the timer. Pick a duration and start it when you want to limit yourself to approved tools. Optional Lock Guard can return you to BrickOS when an unapproved app comes to the foreground during a session you started.
The free version can earn more credits through rewarded ads you choose to watch. A one-time BrickOS Premium purchase removes ads and unlocks unlimited Brick Lock sessions and skin changes.
No BrickOS account is required. Local settings and lock choices stay on the device.
