Could you build this?
Partial The scheduling and UI are buildable, but blocking apps and deep-linking into them depends on restrictive native OS APIs (iOS Screen Time, Android accessibility/usage access). Those require native platform expertise and app store approval.
What it would actually take: A real version needs native iOS (FamilyControls/Screen Time with entitlement approval) and Android apps (accessibility or usage-stats services). Deep-linking into supported apps requires per-app URL scheme mapping. Platform policy compliance and native OS knowledge are the hard parts.
