Could you build this?
Partial While basic macOS menu bar tools are easy to scaffold, combining native screen recording, OCR, system-level shortcuts, and KeePass KDBX cryptographic handling requires non-trivial native macOS development.
What it would actually take: A native macOS app built with Swift and SwiftUI using ScreenCaptureKit and Vision framework for OCR/capture. The tricky parts are handling system accessibility/permissions smoothly, KeePass .kdbx parsing/encryption, and local low-overhead background processing without crashing or tripping sandbox limits.
