Description
Lock Me Out: Stop Screen Time is a focus app that actually locks your phone. Set a timer, and your device stays locked behind a full-screen countdown — distracting apps close, the apps you choose stay usable, and the lock even survives a restart. No willpower needed.

Could you build this?
No Hard-locking a mobile device to persist through reboots and override OS app switching requires native Mobile Device Management (MDM) profiles or deep Android Accessibility/Device Admin privileges.
What it would actually take: On iOS, this requires enterprise MDM enrollment or Apple's Screen Time API (FamilyControls/ManagedSettings framework) with strict entitlements granted by Apple. On Android, it necessitates Device Administration APIs or Knox integration to set lock-task modes (kiosk mode) that survive reboots and prevent force-stopping via safe mode. This requires deep native mobile systems programming and navigation of platform security sandboxes.
