Could you build this?

Partial Building an iOS/macOS app that runs Whisper entirely locally on Apple Silicon requires native Swift, CoreML/whisper.cpp integration, and memory optimization.

What it would actually take: The app requires a native Swift/SwiftUI frontend integrated with an on-device inference engine such as whisper.cpp compiled via C++ interop or Apple's CoreML Whisper models. Key challenges include managing memory footprint on iOS, quantization for performance, and handling background microphone streaming. This requires specialized mobile systems and on-device ML deployment experience rather than generic web vibe coding.
