Could you build this?

Partial The UI and sound packs are straightforward, but achieving ultra-low latency global keyboard intercept and spatial audio playback across macOS requires specialized system permissions and native CoreAudio/IOKit implementation.

What it would actually take: The app requires native macOS development using Swift and CoreAudio, setting up an event tap via CGEventTap to intercept keystrokes globally with minimal overhead. Playing sub-10ms audio samples requires low-latency AVAudioEngine or CoreAudio sound buffers rather than high-level audio players. Implementing accurate visualizer overlays and menu bar items with strict latency guarantees requires expertise in macOS system programming.
