Could you build this?
Partial A basic desktop UI is easy to vibe-code, but reverse-engineering undocumented authentication flows, session cookie stores, and internal metering endpoints for third-party closed tools like Cursor and Claude Code requires ongoing reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires an Electron or Tauri desktop wrapper that either reads local SQLite/LevelDB state databases and keychain tokens left by Cursor/Claude CLI or inspects network traffic/undocumented session endpoints. The challenging part is reverse engineering disparate vendor auth tokens, bypassing Cloudflare protections on non-public APIs, and constantly updating the scrapers when internal vendor schemas change.
