Could you build this?
Partial While basic mobile apps are easy to vibe code, building a system-level app and website blocker requires deep OS-level integration with Accessibility APIs, Device Admin, or VPN/Network filtering.
What it would actually take: On Android, this requires configuring an AccessibilityService, UsageStatsManager, and local VPN service (VpnService) to intercept DNS or packet requests and overlay blocked app screens. The hard part is managing OS battery optimization kills, handling OEM-specific background restrictions, and preventing users or the OS from easily terminating the service. This requires in-depth knowledge of Android internals, permissions, and native OS lifecycle management.
