How this is possible for iOS? Can someone share technical details on this iOS implementation? IMO this cannot be done without validating user privacy and giving app some crucial screen reading permissions.

You can't take the same approach on iOS but to Apple's credit, they do a great job with user privacy with their Screen Time permission. Apps with that permission get the ability to restrict other apps on the phone without ever knowing what they are. They can even report data back to the user without ever knowing that data.

For Android I did it using the Accessibility Service API, iOS doesn't provide any similar API, the platform itself is much more restricted. So I think is technicaly not possible
Yeah, this is not possible in iOS because there is no equivalent of Accessibility services for apps to control other apps behavior.
Not sure what OP is running waitlist for, my guess is a combination of screen time + focus modes + content blockers in Safari.
It’s currently Android only. There is a waitlist on their website for the iOS version.
The answer is jailbreak or sideloaded modified ipas.
