Could you build this?
Partial Building the UI and clipboard listeners is simple, but reliable peer-to-peer cross-platform Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) image chunking and transfer without Wi-Fi requires complex low-level protocol handling.
What it would actually take: The system requires a native Windows service (WinRT BLE APIs) and an iOS/iPadOS CoreBluetooth app. The core challenge is engineering an MTU-negotiated, chunked data transfer and error-recovery protocol over BLE, which has severe throughput limitations (typically ~10-50 KB/s), to transfer multi-megabyte image payloads reliably without dropping packets. This requires specialized knowledge of Bluetooth GATT profiles, packet fragmentation, and background OS limitations on iOS.
