I'm thinking of something that I can just screw or glue onto the
existing shower. I don't want to remove any tiles and build it in. Is
that possible or reasonable?

The shower has 4x4 tiles over sheetrock.

Here are a couple of examples I found.

It doesn't need to be as fancy as either of those.

The two examples you posted are elegant solutions to your project.
Another solution would be to build a bench out of teak or red wood as
deployed in saunas. Not as fancy but easier on the budget.

Speaking from experience, wooden seats and/or floor grates in interior
showers are an upkeep and smell PITA, and impossible to keep clean. Unless
you are holding parties in the shower, who cares what it looks like? Cheap
easy solution is plastic and metal seat from medical aids store, or even
local thrift store. And it would be a LOT cheaper than teak or redwood.

We use one of those cheap but sturdy plastic patio chairs. Very stable. They
sell for between 5 and 10 dollars. Good support, too. Big box stores or
supermarkets.
