Could you build this?
No Developing a deep macOS automation utility requires native Swift/Objective-C programming, deep integration with macOS Accessibility APIs, Event Taps, system daemon lifecycles, and window server internals.
What it would actually take: The product requires a native Swift application interfacing with the macOS Accessibility API (AXUIElement), CGEvent taps for keyboard/mouse listening, NSWorkspace notifications, and AppleScript/OSA scripting bridges. The primary hurdle is managing low-level macOS security permissions (Accessibility, Screen Recording, Automation entitlements), sandboxing constraints, and asynchronous event loops reliably without system instability.
