Could you build this?
Partial While individual UI widgets are feasible, orchestrating 21 native macOS tools with real-time hardware vitals, Touch ID/Secure Enclave access, audio equalizers, and custom AppKit notch window overlay mechanics requires specialized Swift/Objective-C desktop engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/AppKit development using undocumented or low-level macOS APIs (IOKit for hardware sensors, CoreAudio for live waveform taps, LocalAuthentication for Secure Enclave, and NSWindow level manipulation to render cleanly around hardware notches). An engineer must handle thread-safe background polling without draining battery or CPU on Apple Silicon.
