Almost all of this could be achieved via third party apps if the screen time data was available via an API and background app mode. I understand why it's not though as it's a lot of personal data. However Apple does provide access to health data via the HealthKit so maybe they can do something similar for Screen time?
Did they make any API changes in iOS 15 announced yesterday?
- geoffpado 5y agoYes, there is now a Screen Time API: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeviceActivity https://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeviceActivity and it allows you to do things like block other apps: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ManagedSettings https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ManagedSettings, but there's nothing like a background mode that will pop up outside of either your app or the app you're managing.
