Could you build this?
Partial While disk visualizers are conceptually straightforward, building a native macOS app with full disk access, high-speed multi-threaded filesystem scanning, and safe trash deletion requires native Swift/macOS expertise.
What it would actually take: A production Mac utility requires Swift or Objective-C using low-level Darwin filesystem APIs (like `fts` or `getattrlistbulk`) to index hundreds of gigabytes in seconds. It needs to handle macOS sandbox permissions, Full Disk Access (FDA), system immutable flags, and APFS snapshots safely. Vibe coding can draft the UI, but reliable, crash-free native OS-level scanning requires native macOS systems programming.
