Could you build this?
Partial Building companion mobile and watch apps that interface with a local host daemon to emulate mouse, keyboard, and display controls over local networks requires low-level OS API programming and protocol design.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a lightweight native daemon (in Rust, C++, or Go) running on macOS/Windows using OS input-simulation APIs (like Windows SendInput or macOS CGEvent), paired with native iOS/Android/watchOS clients. Communication requires low-latency local UDP/WebSockets, mDNS/Bonjour for zero-config pairing, and custom protocol buffering to handle high-frequency trackpad and keystroke events seamlessly.
