Could you build this?
No Creating a native macOS live window manager requires deep low-level macOS system APIs (Accessibility APIs, SkyLight/CoreGraphics private APIs) and tricky IPC for live-resizing non-cooperative external app windows.
What it would actually take: A developer needs deep expertise in Swift/Objective-C, macOS Accessibility frameworks (AXUIElement), and private CoreGraphics/SkyLight window server hooks to manipulate third-party app windows synchronously. It requires handling race conditions, sandboxing limitations, and different app UI frameworks (Electron, AppKit, Catalyst) that resize erratically.
