Description
Every health app asks nicely. Then it pings, and you swipe it away with the same thumb that opens Instagram. So we stopped asking. Pick the apps that get you and the habits that get you somewhere: a run, water, a fast, sleep, a weigh-in, meditation. Those apps stay blocked until the habit is done. Workouts and sleep come straight from Apple Health, so your Watch, Garmin or Strava already counts. Take on a quest with friends and see who keeps it. Ahonui is Hawaiian for patience.

Could you build this?
Partial The companion UI and habit tracking are simple, but reliably blocking other iOS applications requires Apple's Screen Time and FamilyControls APIs, which have strict entitlements and complex state handling.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Swift development integrating Apple's FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity frameworks. The core difficulty lies in obtaining the restricted Apple developer entitlement for FamilyControls, debugging opaque sandbox permissions that cannot be inspected easily in simulators, and managing background monitoring tasks across device sleep states.
