Could you build this?
Partial Writing a lightweight screen recorder wrapper is easy, but building a performant native macOS screen capture tool with a custom non-linear video editor, timeline sync, speaker replacement, and local transcription involves deep AVFoundation and CoreMedia engineering.
What it would actually take: A production version would be built in Swift/SwiftUI using Apple's ScreenCaptureKit, AVFoundation, and CoreMedia for hardware-accelerated video/audio muxing and non-linear editing. Transcriptions would leverage Whisper.cpp or Apple's Speech framework locally. The main bottleneck for vibe coding is managing low-latency video frame pipelines, complex multi-track timeline synchronization, and avoiding audio desync during rendering.
