Could you build this?
Partial A native macOS desktop customization utility that injects UI controls, hooks into WindowServer, and modifies system behaviors requires deep macOS system-level development.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift, Objective-C, and AppKit, leveraging private or accessibility APIs (CoreGraphics, Accessibility Framework, SkyLight) to track windows and display system overlays. The difficult part is ensuring smooth gesture interaction, low-resource background execution, and bypassing or safely managing macOS SIP/sandboxing constraints without breaking across macOS version updates.
