Could you build this?

Partial The UI and encryption layer are vibe-codeable, but rootless call recording depends on Shizuku and on Android audio-capture restrictions that vary by OS version and OEM, which takes deep platform expertise.

What it would actually take: The stack is a native Android app (Kotlin) with Shizuku's ADB bridge, the Android keystore for AES-256-GCM, and biometric auth. The hard part is reliably capturing both call legs across Android 12 to 16 and many OEMs, which Android's restrictions make fragile. Legal consent rules for recording calls also need specialist review.
