Could you build this?
No Accurately tracing and safely purging leftover application dependencies on macOS requires deep macOS system architecture expertise (LaunchAgents, Daemons, sandboxed containers, Application Support, Receipts) and low-level system permissions.
What it would actually take: A native macOS app in Swift/Objective-C requires deep knowledge of macOS file system structures, bundle identifier conventions, PackageKit install receipts, and user/system library directories. The core engine must reverse-engineer app bundle identifiers and inspect running processes, launchd jobs, and container folders, while managing privileged helper tools to delete files safely. Ensuring it does not delete shared dynamic libraries or common preferences requires maintained heuristic databases and safety guardrails.
