Could you build this?
Partial While the companion UI and scheduling settings can be vibe-coded in SwiftUI, integrating Apple's FamilyControls framework requires strict Apple-approved entitlements and nuanced system-level extension architecture.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires a native Swift/SwiftUI iOS and watchOS stack leveraging Apple's FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity frameworks. The core hurdle is passing Apple's manual entitlement review process for Family Controls and managing inter-process communication between the parent app, child device, and isolated DeviceActivityMonitor extensions. This requires specialized iOS systems engineering and experience navigating Apple's restricted APIs.
