Could you build this?
No This requires low-level native macOS development using private or system-level APIs for cursor warp mechanics, display server topology management, and hardware I2C/DDC communication for external monitor brightness.
What it would actually take: The app must be written in Swift/Objective-C interacting with macOS CoreGraphics and IOKit frameworks (e.g., CGEventTap to intercept mouse movements at screen bounds and warp cursor coordinates without latency). Controlling external monitor brightness requires communicating directly over I2C via DDC/CI commands to the physical monitor controller, alongside handling macOS DisplayServices notifications for display connect/disconnect layout restorations.
