Could you build this?
Partial While the UI and settings can be scaffolded via vibe coding, interacting with macOS internal screen capture APIs, private menu bar window hierarchies, and high-frequency audio visualization in Swift requires specialized system programming.
What it would actually take: A native macOS app written in Swift/AppKit requires utilizing ScreenCaptureKit or CGDisplayStream to sample screen regions directly behind/around the menu bar, CoreAudio taps for low-latency visualizer data (up to 120Hz), and overlaying custom borderless transparent NSWindows at the exact window level of the macOS status bar without triggering OS-level rendering artifacts or battery drain.
