Description
PicoAsset is a native Mac app built for fast image and video preparation. What makes it different is the combination of mixed image/video batches, Finder Quick Actions, compression previews, resizing, cropping, trimming, AI upscaling, and modern formats such as WebP, AVIF, H.265, VP9, and AV1. Everything runs locally on your Mac, with no cloud processing.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a Swift/AppKit wrapper around FFmpeg and Finder extensions is straightforward, but bundling high-performance local AI upscaling models and modern video codecs natively on macOS requires specialized native performance tuning.
What it would actually take: The app requires Swift with AppKit/SwiftUI, Finder Sync extensions, and native bindings to FFmpeg compiled with AV1/HEVC/VP9 support. The difficult piece is integrating local CoreML/Metal neural network models (e.g., Real-ESRGAN) to perform fast video upscaling without memory leaks or thermal throttling. It demands proficiency in native macOS systems programming, CoreML optimization, and hardware video acceleration (VideoToolbox).
