Could you build this?

Partial Building a basic macOS menu-bar app is straightforward, but robustly managing, capturing, and restoring third-party window layouts across virtual desktops and spaces relies on finicky, undocumented macOS accessibility and SkyLight APIs.

What it would actually take: The app requires Swift/Objective-C interfacing with macOS Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement) and private SkyLight/CGS framework calls to query, move, and assign application windows to specific Mission Control spaces. The hard part is handling multi-monitor disconnects/reconnects, permission quirks, sandboxing limitations, and race conditions when switching project workspaces. Specialized macOS desktop systems engineering is needed.
