Could you build this?
Partial Building a custom floating UI integrated tightly into the macOS notch geometry, handling window server occlusion, and hooking into system media/clipboard daemons requires low-level AppKit and private macOS API handling.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift and AppKit using NSPanel overlays configured with custom window levels, screen notch geometry calculations via NSScreen, and Core Image/Metal shaders for blur effects. The hard part is managing non-activating floating overlays that interact smoothly with fullscreen spaces and extracting album/now-playing metadata via Apple's MediaRemote/NowPlaying APIs without triggering OS sandbox blocks. Requires deep macOS systems and native window management engineering.
