Could you build this?
Partial Building a custom native macOS file manager workspace with deep OS filesystem permissions, sandboxing, tabs, previews (QuickLook), and clipboard hooks requires specialized Swift/AppKit engineering.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Swift and AppKit/SwiftUI targeting macOS 14+, utilizing security-scoped bookmarks to retain file access permissions across sessions. Core components involve custom NSOutlineView or file browser hierarchies, QuickLook framework integration, and system-level NSPasteboard monitoring, which frequently hit nuanced macOS sandboxing and thread-safety pitfalls that vibe coding struggles to debug.
