Could you build this?
No An on-device, real-time screen recorder and video editor for macOS/iOS requires native AVFoundation, CoreAudio, CoreML, local speech-to-text models, and video rendering shaders without cloud dependencies.
What it would actually take: The app must be developed natively in Swift/SwiftUI using ScreenCaptureKit and AVFoundation for high-frame-rate capture and hardware-accelerated video composition. Local AI processing requires CoreML or Metal-optimized Whisper models for fast local transcription, silence detection algorithms, and computer vision filters for auto-framing and subject tracking. Deep expertise in audio/video DSP, Metal shaders, Apple Silicon hardware acceleration, and native iOS/macOS media pipelines is essential.
