Could you build this?

Partial While an Electron or native macOS wrapper reading EXIF data into a timeline is straightforward, robust on-device face recognition that tracks identity across decades of aging without cloud APIs is technically challenging.

What it would actually take: A production version requires a native macOS app (Swift/SwiftUI) utilizing Apple's Vision framework or an embedded ONNX runtime with an age-invariant face recognition model (such as InsightFace). The core challenge lies in building a performant, low-memory local indexing pipeline capable of parsing hundreds of thousands of raw/HEIC files and running graph clustering algorithms that can handle severe age-progression drift over 20 years.
