Could you build this?
Partial While basic recording is easy, capturing system audio without drivers, running efficient local multi-lingual diarization on Apple Silicon/iOS, and cross-device sync requires low-level Apple API expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift development utilizing ScreenCaptureKit / CoreAudio for system sound capture, AVAudioEngine for multi-channel input, and Apple Watch companion sync via WatchConnectivity. The core challenge is packaging and running an on-device speech-to-text model (like Whisper.cpp or CoreML Whisper) alongside speaker diarization (e.g., pyannote CoreML port) optimized for low memory and battery constraints on iOS and watchOS.
