Could you build this?

Partial The SwiftUI menu bar dashboard and basic system monitoring can be vibe-coded, but low-level SMC fan control and privileged background daemons require specialized macOS systems programming.

What it would actually take: The app is written in Swift and SwiftUI, interfacing with macOS Darwin kernel APIs (host_statistics64, sysctl) and low-level Apple SMC via IOKit. The core difficulty lies in reverse-engineering proprietary Apple SMC keys for fan manipulation, reading undocumented hardware thermal sensors on Apple Silicon, and managing secure privilege escalation via SMJobBless/LaunchDaemons. This requires experienced macOS system-level and reverse-engineering skills.
