Could you build this?
Partial A macOS menu bar app with local search is straightforward, but maintaining reverse-engineered or unofficial real-time sync integrations for Slack, WhatsApp, Linear, GitHub, and Gmail is notoriously brittle.
What it would actually take: The app requires a native Swift/macOS menu bar shell paired with local SQLite and vector/BM25 search (e.g. SQLite FTS5). The hard part is building and continuously maintaining background auth tokens, WebSocket connections, and webhooks for multiple disparate platforms (especially WhatsApp which lacks an open notification API and requires WhatsApp Web scraping/session interception, plus Slack enterprise bot scopes or user token extraction). Handling rate limits, session invalidations, and OS notification interception across 6+ platforms demands continuous integration testing and reverse-engineering skills.
