Could you build this?
Partial The UI and LLM summarization parts are straightforward, but continuous background screen recording, audio capture, low-overhead OCR, and on-device transcription require dedicated native desktop engineering.
What it would actually take: The core application requires macOS native APIs (ScreenCaptureKit, CoreAudio, Vision framework) or Rust bindings to capture display buffers and system audio with minimal CPU/battery impact. The hard part is building an efficient pipeline that embeds, OCRs, and indexes frame diffs into a local vector database (like SQLite with sqlite-vec) without lagging the operating system. This demands native system-level desktop programming and efficient local media stream pipeline expertise.
