I'm a London mum, this is how we use Brickify

Two buses, one Zip Oyster, and a phone that's only a phone until she gets home.

Cartoon of a mum at a bus stop, waving as her daughter, seen from behind with a backpack, steps onto a bus. A schedule ring for a weekday shows Home, two Commute segments, School, and Bedtime.
Illustrative scenario. Cartoon character, not a real customer.

"She does two buses across town. On the journey she's got maps, the bus times, her music and me."

"Brickify doesn't track her. For location we use Find My, separately."

How the week is set up

  • Home (default): calls, texts, maps, music, plus the couple of apps agreed at home. Runs whenever nothing else is scheduled: evenings, weekends and holidays.
  • Commute: Mon to Fri, 07:30 to 08:45 and 15:15 to 17:00: calls, texts, maps, a transport app and music.
  • School: Mon to Fri, 08:45 to 15:15: calls and texts only.
  • Bedtime: every night, 21:00 to 07:00: calls only.

How the profiles work: there's one default profile, which the phone falls back to whenever nothing else is scheduled. The other profiles run on their own schedules, and there's always an overnight one. The schedules don't overlap, so it's always clear which profile is running. Emergency calls always work, whatever profile is active.
