Could you build this?

Partial Building high-performance macOS desktop window/screen overlay animations synchronized at 120Hz with custom lock-screen hooks and hardware sensor triggers hits complex undocumented macOS private APIs.

What it would actually take: Requires Swift/Objective-C using CoreGraphics, private Quartz/SkyLight APIs, and CoreAnimation display links calibrated to ProMotion 120Hz. Hooking macOS lock screen events and hardware lid-angle sensors requires low-level IOKit driver monitoring and elevated permissions that work reliably across macOS updates.
