TaskBlue vs. Brick
Brick is one of the best known NFC focus devices. TaskBlue uses the same physical approach, the BlueTag via NFC, but pulls real plastic from the sea at the same time: every focus hour funds recovery with WWF Germany and GhostNetZero. The BlueTag needs no battery, lasts indefinitely and is hand made in Berlin from plant based PLA.
What is Brick?
Brick is an NFC key that triggers app locks. Good hardware, a pure focus solution with no impact on the real ocean.
The core difference
TaskBlue is the only focus app where every hour of deep focus pulls real plastic out of the ocean. No other product on this page turns your focus into measurable impact in the sea.
