Could you build this?

No This requires low-level iOS and macOS systems programming, including Virtual Display Drivers, CoreGraphics event injection, ultra-low-latency WebRTC/P2P screen streaming, and Apple accessibility/permission security bypasses.

What it would actually take: The architecture comprises a Swift/SwiftUI iOS app and a privileged macOS helper daemon. It demands low-level systems programming: macOS Virtual Display Driver or ScreenCaptureKit for capture, hardware-accelerated H.264/HEVC encoding via VideoToolbox, WebRTC/ICE/STUN/TURN for sub-50ms streaming over WAN/Wi-Fi, and CGEvent injection via macOS Accessibility APIs. Building this requires deep expertise in systems-level Apple frameworks, network NAT traversal, and low-latency video streaming.
