Description
Where Was I? doesn’t just remember which apps were open. It captures the full context of your work, including browser tabs, screenshots, notes, window positions, project status, and your next step. Everything stays local on your Mac, so you can return hours or days later and quickly understand exactly where you left off.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and local note-taking are easily vibe-coded, but reliably capturing and restoring window arrangements, third-party app states, and multi-browser tabs on macOS requires deep native OS API integration.
What it would actually take: The app requires a native Swift/macOS codebase utilizing the macOS Accessibility API (AXUIElement), CoreGraphics (CGWindowList), and AppleScript/JXA scripting bridges to query and control external applications and browsers. The hardest part is handling macOS permissions, multi-monitor coordinate transforms, and browser-specific session state restoration across unpredictable third-party applications. This requires specialized macOS systems programming and reverse-engineering skills.
