Could you build this?

No CleanShot is a high-performance native macOS utility deeply integrated into CoreGraphics, AVFoundation, ScreenCaptureKit, and Metal for zero-latency screen capture and video rendering.

What it would actually take: Developing this requires deep Swift/Objective-C expertise, ScreenCaptureKit pipeline mastery, native audio capture routing (virtual audio drivers), and GPU-accelerated video compositing via Metal or AVFoundation for Studio Mode. It cannot be built through web-stack vibe coding.
