Could you build this?

Partial The SwiftUI interface, disk space visualizer, memory purging commands, and keep-awake power assertions are easily vibe-coded, but low-level SMC fan control and privileged cleanup daemons require specialized macOS systems programming.

What it would actually take: A production macOS utility requires a native Swift/SwiftUI application paired with a privileged helper daemon managed via SMJobBless or ServiceManagement. The hardest piece is hardware fan control, which demands interacting with the System Management Controller (SMC) via private IOKit APIs and undocumented SMC keys, particularly across differing Apple Silicon architectures.
