Could you build this?
Partial The Bible reader, reading plans, and alarm are standard app features, but enforcing app blocking across iOS requires deep familiarity with Apple's Screen Time and FamilyControls APIs.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift/SwiftUI leveraging the Screen Time framework (FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivity). The difficult part is properly requesting entitlements, handling Apple's strict background execution rules, and shielding applications without getting rejected during App Store review. Requires iOS-specific native systems engineering experience.
