Could you build this?
No Building an iOS app that intercepts and restricts third-party app launches requires Apple's restricted Screen Time API (FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity frameworks) and specialized native Swift iOS development with strict Apple entitlement approvals.
What it would actually take: The app must be written natively in Swift using Apple's FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity extensions to monitor and shield selected application tokens. It requires Apple Developer Program approval for the specific Family Controls entitlement, which is heavily guarded and restricted. The developer needs deep expertise in iOS extension lifecycles, sandbox boundaries, and shielded app view customization.
