Could you build this?
Partial Building a standard macOS menu bar app is manageable with AI, but integrating seamlessly with the hardware notch UI, global drag-and-drop file interceptors, and local agent IPC with CLI tools requires native macOS systems programming.
What it would actually take: This requires a native Swift/AppKit application utilizing low-level macOS APIs (NSScreen, NSWindowLevel for notch overlays, NSPasteboard, and accessibility APIs for drag-and-drop monitoring). Communicating with running terminal processes like Claude Code requires local IPC, Unix domain sockets, or pty session inspection. A developer with solid native macOS AppKit/Swift and desktop systems integration expertise is required.
