Could you build this?

Partial The UI and local LLM formatting pipeline are vibe-codeable, but reliable low-latency audio capture, CoreML model optimization, and cross-application text injection require macOS system-level engineering.

What it would actually take: A production version requires Swift and SwiftUI, leveraging WhisperKit or CoreML for on-device ASR and Apple MLX or llama.cpp for local tone rewrites. The hard parts are low-latency audio buffer streaming, handling system-level accessibility permissions (AXUIElement / CGEvent synthetic keystroke injection) across sandboxed and non-sandboxed target applications, and optimizing RAM/battery usage during persistent background operation.
