Hi all!
I'm on the path of building a parental control app. Something simple to start.
An admin screen where you could set a schedule with the allowed times and a key combo setup to unlock and/or extend the allowed time; a lock screen to somehow prevent or annoy the user gameplay when the allowed time runs out; and an internal scheduler that runs in background and, using the times configured through the admin screen, launches the lock screen when needed.
I have some progress but I'm hitting a dead end so I will need suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

- As I understand, background task can't access the screen, so the scheduler won't be able to simply show the locker. Is there a way to launch a separated .nro app from a background process? If that is possible, I could simply move the lock screen to a separated app, but if that is not possible I'll need some suggestions.
- Is there a way to automatically run a brew app at the start of the CFW? I will need the background scheduler to run automatically after every restart. The user timers don't execute if the app is not running, right?
Thanks in advance!
