Could you build this?
Partial The UI and cross-device sync are vibe-codeable, but making real calls requires telephony integration (Android dialer and call APIs, or SIP/VoIP) that is platform-specific and harder to get right. The description is too sparse to rule out a deeper telephony requirement.
What it would actually take: The fake-call and sync features are standard app work, but real calls need Android telephony APIs or a VoIP/SIP stack, plus a Linux client with its own audio and call handling. A sync backend (e.g., WebSocket or Firebase) carries call state across devices. Telephony edge cases, carrier restrictions, and permissions need developers with mobile and VoIP experience.
