Could you build this?
No It modifies or augments native macOS Mission Control via private system APIs or low-level window server accessibility hooks, which vibe coding cannot produce due to deep OS internals.
What it would actually take: This app requires native Objective-C/Swift development utilizing macOS Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement) and undocumented CoreGraphics Window Server private SPIs (CGS/SLS APIs) to intercept Mission Control animations and calculate accurate window bounding boxes in real time. It requires reverse-engineering the WindowServer compositor and implementing runtime injection or elevated privilege helpers to overlay interactive controls directly over native OS window management.
