Could you build this?
Partial The desktop UI and multi-model LLM chat integration are standard, but the native macOS floating window management, dynamic 3D cube folding transitions, and native system-level hooks require specialized macOS system development.
What it would actually take: A native macOS application built with Swift and SwiftUI/AppKit, utilizing Metal or SceneKit for custom window transforms and animations (the cube folding effect). It requires native accessibility/system APIs for screen presence and window anchoring, paired with standard client-side SQLite/vector DB storage for long-term memory and streaming connections to LLM providers.
