Could you build this?
Partial Switching startup disks programmatically on Apple Silicon requires interacting with protected low-level macOS system binaries (`bless`), NVRAM, and Apple Silicon Secure Boot policy management requiring elevated root privileges and macOS system programming expertise.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Swift/Objective-C development using AppKit for the menu bar and an authenticated privileged helper tool (via `SMJobBless` or modern `SMAppService`) to execute the `bless` utility. Handling one-time reboots on Apple Silicon specifically requires navigating Secure Enclave LocalPolicy authentication and APFS volume ownership constraints.
