Could you build this?
Partial Creating a dynamic macOS notch overlay that hooks into third-party terminal processes, system media playback, calendar stores, and screen geometry requires deep native macOS development (Swift/AppKit). AI tools frequently struggle with macOS accessibility APIs, window layering, and low-level system hooks.
What it would actually take: Built with Swift, SwiftUI, and AppKit, using NSPanel with specific window levels (`statusBar` or `floating`) configured to overlap the physical MacBook notch area across varied display configurations. The system requires integrations with EventKit (calendar/reminders), MPNowPlayingInfoCenter / MediaRemote framework for media control, and local sockets or process listeners to capture AI agent status (e.g., from Claude Code or local CLI tools). Requires specialized native macOS desktop development expertise.
