Could you build this?
No Building a custom window and tab switcher on macOS requires deep native Swift/Objective-C knowledge of macOS Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement), AppleScript/CGWindowList, and low-level mouse/keyboard event taps.
What it would actually take: Requires a native Swift/macOS application utilizing CGEventTap for global input intercepts, CoreGraphics/ScreenCaptureKit for real-time window thumbnails, and AppleScript/Accessibility APIs to query tabs from various browsers (Chromium, WebKit). Overcoming macOS permission sandboxing, AXUIElement performance latency, and per-browser scripting quirks requires specialized macOS systems-level developer experience.
