Could you build this?
Partial While basic Mac menu bar apps are simple to build, capturing, persisting, and accurately restoring third-party application states, tab URLs, and multi-display window coordinates requires complex macOS Accessibility and CoreGraphics APIs.
What it would actually take: The app must be written in Swift using macOS Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement), CoreGraphics, and AppleScript/JXA to query running processes, window hierarchies, and display configurations. The difficult aspects include bypassing sandbox limitations to reposition uncooperative third-party windows, querying browser state without native extensions, and handling dynamic multi-monitor resolution/layout changes gracefully.
