Could you build this?

Partial The UI and scheduling logic can be vibe-coded in SwiftUI, but the core blocking relies on Apple's Screen Time (FamilyControls) API, which requires special entitlements and has tight platform constraints.

What it would actually take: The build is a native iOS app in SwiftUI using FamilyControls, DeviceActivity, and ManagedSettings to enforce limits and schedules, with a passcode lock layer. The hard part is obtaining Apple's entitlement approval and working within the API's restrictions on what can be read and blocked. iOS-specific platform knowledge is required, and the approach must be tested across OS versions.
