Could you build this?
Partial The settings UI and a pause overlay are buildable, but detecting autopilot scrolling and buying without reading the screen requires Android system signals and tuned on-device behavior models.
What it would actually take: The app shell, overlay, and usage-stat tracking are achievable with Kotlin and Android APIs using AI assistance. The hard part is reliably detecting impulsive or autopilot behavior using only system signals, with no screen reading and no network access, which likely needs on-device heuristics or a small model tuned to avoid false positives. Android background-restriction and permission policies also make a reliable release difficult without Android platform experience.
