Could you build this?

Partial While screen recording and basic UI can be built quickly, smooth automatic zooming based on cursor activity, on-device Whisper captioning, and AVFoundation video rendering on macOS require lower-level systems and graphics expertise.

What it would actually take: Built as a native macOS app using Swift, ScreenCaptureKit, and AVFoundation. The hard part is algorithmic heuristics for tracking mouse interactions and viewport zoom/pan smoothing without motion sickness, combined with integrated local ML (CoreML Whisper). A solo developer needs solid macOS native graphics pipeline and CoreMedia experience.
