Tack+ turns your Mac’s screen edge into a one-gesture workspace. Bring your music, Messages, calendar, clipboard history, files, Focus timer, and widgets into one panel. Open it by moving your pointer to the edge or pressing Option–Space. On MacBooks with a notch, place it at the top so it fits around the notch. Tack+ works on Mac screens with or without a notch.

Could you build this?
No This requires deep native macOS development utilizing private or low-level Cocoa/AppKit APIs to hook system-wide gestures, screen borders, notch detection, and multi-app integration.
What it would actually take: Built in Swift/Objective-C using AppKit, requiring low-level window management (`NSPanel`, `CGEventTap`), edge detection, accessibility APIs to interface with system state, and integration with EventKit, MusicKit, and system pasteboard. The core challenge is achieving smooth 120Hz gesture tracking at the OS level while remaining sandboxed or properly notarized without crashing or being blocked by macOS security.
