Could you build this?

Partial A macOS menu bar app combining system-level screen recording, clipboard history, screen capture, keep-awake, and system monitoring requires deep integration with native macOS APIs and privacy permissions.

What it would actually take: A native Swift/SwiftUI or AppKit app leveraging ScreenCaptureKit, NSPasteboard, IOKit (IOPMAssertion for keep-awake), and Mach kernel APIs for system stats. The core UI can be generated quickly, but managing macOS background execution, security scoped bookmarks, notarization, and granular permission handling (Screen Recording, Accessibility) requires seasoned macOS platform development expertise.
