Could you build this?
No Building a custom macOS notch overlay with media controller integration, on-device translation, clipboard monitoring, and native menu bar controls demands specialized native macOS (Swift/AppKit) development.
What it would actually take: Requires deep Swift and AppKit/SwiftUI expertise, dealing with non-standard window layers (`NSPanel`, `NSWindowLevel`), system-level screen geometry detection for the notch, CoreAudio/NowPlaying APIs, Accessibility permissions, and local CoreML model inference for on-device translation.
