Could you build this?
Partial A basic macOS UI can be vibe-coded, but real-time word-by-word lyric synchronization across varied third-party desktop media players and web browsers requires complex OS-level hooking and synced lyric APIs.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Swift/Objective-C interacting with macOS AppleScript/ScriptingBridge, NowPlaying private APIs, and browser extension/accessibility hooks to extract playback state and timestamps from diverse apps. It also requires integration with time-synced lyric databases (like Musixmatch or LRCLIB) and custom AppKit/Metal rendering around the notch region. Building this reliably without OS crashes or permission blocks requires specialized native macOS systems programming.
