Could you build this?
Partial While the wrapper app is simple, low-level integration with macOS window server APIs, display virtualizers, or hinge/accelerometer hardware sensors requires specialized native macOS engineering.
What it would actually take: A native macOS app in Swift/Objective-C interacting with CoreGraphics, Quartz Display Services, or private Apple display APIs, coupled with device angle detection (e.g., via IOKit or MacBook lid angle sensor APIs). The hard part is reliably detecting hinge/fold state and adjusting Virtual Display drivers or window boundaries seamlessly without OS instability.
