Full fledged iOS app (or account for phone time in lookaway timer)

Hello! Lookaway has been a very major and important part of my daily life for a long time now, and it has greatly helped me to reduce the stress on by back and eyes. However, even though most of my work is done on Mac, there are days where I solely work from my phone/ipad while on the go. It would be great if iphone/ipad app could work as a standalone application or at least be used to measure phone time as part of the timer to help us take breaks while using those devices also.

It's currently not possible to recreate the full macOS break experience on the iPhone because of the limited APIs, but I assure that if Apple allows it, LookAway will be available on day 1.

It would be great if the iOS app could sync the timer from the Mac. Additionally, it would be great if the timer on iOS could be placed in Live Activities.
