Partial The task-and-timer UI is easy, but real app blocking depends on platform-restricted APIs (iOS Screen Time/FamilyControls, Android accessibility or usage access) that need native expertise and Apple entitlement approval.
What it would actually take: Building it means native iOS (Swift, FamilyControls and ManagedSettings entitlements, which Apple must approve) and Android (UsageStats or accessibility services, which Google Play scrutinizes). Task integrations and the earned-minutes logic are straightforward. The hard parts are reliable enforcement that users cannot easily bypass and passing app store review.
