Could you build this?
Partial A basic timer app is trivial, but smart state detection (detecting active microphone, screen sharing, fullscreen games, or meeting apps across macOS and Windows) requires deep low-level OS APIs.
What it would actually take: The architecture involves native Swift/Objective-C on macOS and C++/C# on Windows to poll or hook into OS-level APIs (e.g., CoreAudio HAL device listeners, CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo, and Windows Core Audio / Shell APIs) to detect active meetings or fullscreen exclusivity. It also requires custom low-latency audio playback and native rendering routines. Navigating OS permission models (Accessibility, Screen Recording, Microphone indicators) without getting blocked requires specialized native systems engineering.
