Could you build this?
Partial While basic macOS audio playback and standard event listeners are straightforward, low-level hardware hooks like Apple Silicon lid angle sensors and microphone knock detection require undocumented IOKit/CoreMotion APIs.
What it would actually take: A native Swift menu bar app using AppKit, CoreAudio, and standard Accessibility APIs for keystroke intercepts. The difficult part is reverse-engineering private IOKit/HID services to read the proprietary lid sensor angles on Apple Silicon, as well as digital signal processing algorithms on raw microphone input to filter false positives for physical knock detection. This requires specialized low-level Apple hardware internals knowledge.
