Description
Most focus apps are cluttered enough to be a distraction themselves. Quiet Pomodoro is a clean, minimal timer for iPhone: pick a task, start a session, and it blocks your distracting apps until the break. Daily streaks show your progress. That's all.

Could you build this?
Partial While the Pomodoro timer UI is trivial, app-blocking on iOS requires Apple's restricted Screen Time / FamilyControls API and associated entitlements.
What it would actually take: Requires an iOS app written in Swift utilizing the FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity frameworks to shield and restrict app usage during sessions. The hard parts involve getting Apple's strict entitlement approval for Screen Time APIs and correctly handling background DeviceActivityMonitor extensions without app termination.
