Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and scheduling UI are straightforward, but blocking websites system-wide across all browsers and preventing app launches/quitting on macOS requires OS-level permissions and system extension development.
What it would actually take: The application requires a native macOS app (Swift/Objective-C) leveraging the Apple Network Extension framework (NEFilterDataProvider) or pf/hosts modifications, combined with Accessibility APIs or Endpoint Security / Apple FamilyControls APIs to block application execution. This requires macOS native system programming and developer signing entitlements from Apple.
