Could you build this?
Partial While the desktop UI and SFTP file transfer can be vibe-coded, packaging and managing an isolated, zero-config local PHP and database runtime on macOS without Docker is technically complex.
What it would actually take: A production version would be built as a native macOS app using Swift/SwiftUI bundled with self-contained, pre-compiled PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, and web server binaries. The difficult engineering challenges lie in daemon lifecycle management, socket handling, avoiding port collisions, and reliable differential file/database syncing over SSH/SFTP. This requires low-level macOS system packaging and systems administration expertise.
