Could you build this?
Partial While wrapping a menu bar or Control Center UI widget is straightforward, manipulating Apple's private AWDL (Apple Wireless Direct Link) interface requires private Apple APIs or low-level network command reverse-engineering.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift/Objective-C interacting with macOS private frameworks (e.g., CoreWLAN internals or private SkyLight/ControlCenter APIs) or invoking low-level `ifconfig awdl0 down` operations. The challenge is reverse-engineering private system APIs and maintaining persistence without breaking macOS SIP or sandbox restrictions.
