Could you build this?
Partial Building a standard desktop UI is straightforward, but programmatically restricting iOS apps and websites from a tethered Mac without erasing the phone requires working with Apple's low-level MDM or Configurator configuration profiles.
What it would actually take: The architecture relies on communicating with the iOS device over USB via Apple's MobileDevice framework / libimobiledevice to push signed Mobileconfig restriction profiles or supervised profiles. The difficult technical challenge is managing supervision pairing and generating valid restriction payloads without triggering full device wipes or violating Apple sandbox limitations.
