Could you build this?
Partial A basic macOS UI can be vibe-coded, but building a low-latency, system-wide autocomplete daemon that interfaces smoothly with macOS Accessibility/Input Method APIs while running a local LLM under strict RAM/battery constraints requires specialized systems programming.
What it would actually take: This app requires Swift and native macOS Accessibility (AXUIElement) or Input Method Kit (IMK) APIs to track cursor position, read surrounding contextual text across arbitrary apps, and render inline suggestion overlays. On the backend, it embeds an optimized local inference engine (such as llama.cpp or Apple MLX) fine-tuned for fill-in-the-middle (FIM) text completion with sub-50ms latency. The difficulty lies in permission sandboxing, OS stability, and keeping CPU/memory overhead imperceptible to the user.
