Could you build this?
Partial The UI and timing locks are simple, but reliably counting exercise reps on-device and managing iOS Screen Time / FamilyControls permissions require specialized mobile development.
What it would actually take: Requires native iOS (Swift) using restricted Apple APIs (FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, DeviceActivity) and Android Accessibility services. Exercise tracking demands an on-device computer vision pipeline using Apple Vision or MediaPipe running pose estimation in real-time while strictly managing device battery and thermal limits.
