Could you build this?
No Injecting or overriding system UI components like the native macOS Dock requires deep reverse engineering of private macOS frameworks, SIP bypasses, or low-level WindowServer accessibility hooks that AI vibe coding cannot reliably solve.
What it would actually take: The app requires low-level Objective-C/Swift and C runtime hacking to interface with private SkyLight, CoreGraphics, and WindowServer APIs to suppress the system dock and manage multi-display window previews and layer hierarchies. Developers must maintain complex code injection techniques, handle code signing / notarization challenges around macOS privacy and accessibility entitlements, and continuously patch breakage across macOS versions.
