Could you build this?
Partial The edge-glow UI and custom volume slider are straightforward to vibe-code, but intercepting hardware volume and power button presses and drawing system-level overlays on Android requires low-level platform access that a vibe-coded app may not reliably reach. The website text is also garbled, so the exact approach is unclear.
What it would actually take: A real version would likely be a native Android app (Kotlin) using an AccessibilityService or a system-level overlay window, plus the AudioManager and KeyEvent APIs to detect button presses. The hard parts are reliable hardware-button detection across OEM skins and Android versions, and the overlay permissions and battery behavior. Building it needs solid Android platform knowledge and device testing across manufacturers.
