No App-locking on modern iOS or Android tied to camera-based computer vision requires bypassing strict OS sandbox restrictions or using MDM/Screen Time APIs that don't easily allow conditional video-based unblocking.
What it would actually take: On iOS, this requires Apple's Screen Time API (FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, DeviceActivity), which severely restricts custom triggers and forbids continuous background camera access to unlock apps. On Android, it demands deep AccessibilityService, UsageStatsManager, and overlay permissions coupled with an on-device lightweight TFLite/CoreML sip-detection vision model. Achieving reliable, unkillable app-blocking with zero-latency camera verification requires deep mobile OS internals and specialized computer vision optimization.
