Could you build this?
Partial Standard macOS apps are simple, but creating an interactive notch overlay that hooks into private macOS APIs for system events, AirDrop, drag-and-drop, and third-party Live Activities requires low-level AppKit/SwiftUI engineering.
What it would actually take: This requires a native Swift/macOS application utilizing `NSPanel` floating windows that track screen geometry and camera notch bounds. The hard part involves tapping into undocumented/private macOS CoreAnimation/SkyLight APIs, event taps (`CGEventTap`), and monitoring background system states for audio, timers, and external plugins without crashing. It necessitates an experienced macOS desktop developer versed in system programming and Apple framework limitations.
