Could you build this?
Partial While the gesture UI is simple, intercepting screenshot events across all Android apps and interacting with the system storage framework requires low-level Android background service architecture.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Android development (Kotlin) using a background `ForegroundService` combined with a `ContentObserver` monitoring `MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI` or the Android 14+ Screen Capture Callback API. It must display an overlay floating window using the `SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` permission while handling scoped storage permissions to delete or modify original screenshot files directly from the system gallery without crashing across varied OEM Android distributions (Samsung OneUI, Xiaomi MIUI, etc.).
