Could you build this?
No Building a frameless native desktop companion that tracks cursor coordinates, monitors system-wide keystrokes via macOS Accessibility APIs, and manages OS-level permissions requires deep Swift/AppKit expertise.
What it would actually take: The app requires a Swift/AppKit codebase creating a borderless NSWindow with custom level flags (kCGFloatingWindowLevel) and transparency. It needs C-level CGEventTap integration requiring macOS Accessibility permissions to monitor cross-application cursor movement and typing cadence without dropping frames, coupled with a lightweight sprite/canvas animation engine.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
