Could you build this?

Partial A basic screenshot tool can be vibe-coded in Electron or Tauri, but building performant desktop-native screen capture, local offline OCR, and reliable PII detection models across Windows, macOS, and Linux requires deep systems programming.

What it would actually take: The app would typically be built in Rust (Tauri) or C++ to interact directly with OS-level screen capture APIs (ScreenCaptureKit on macOS, DXGI on Windows, Wayland/X11 on Linux) and global hotkeys. It requires an embedded local inference engine (such as ONNX Runtime with Tesseract or Apple Vision / Windows OCR) alongside NER algorithms for robust, offline PII masking (IBANs, IDs, emails).
