Could you build this?

No DropEdge is a native macOS utility that tracks drag-and-drop mouse screen-edge gestures across third-party apps, which requires specialized macOS system APIs, AppKit/Swift event taps, and delicate accessibility/window-level handling that AI assistants frequently hallucinate and struggle to debug.

What it would actually take: The app requires a native Swift/AppKit application utilizing `NSWindow` levels (floating/overlay panels), `NSEvent` global monitor or Core Graphics Event Taps (`CGEventTap`) to detect mouse drag gestures intersecting screen boundaries, and `NSDraggingDestination`/`NSPasteboard` protocols to accept, retain, and serve file promises (`NSFilePromiseProvider`). Building this reliably across multi-monitor setups and macOS permission sandboxes requires deep macOS systems engineering experience.
