Could you build this?
Partial Building a standard desktop UI is straightforward, but automatic app and window activity tracking on macOS requires low-level system permissions (Accessibility, AppleScript/Screen Recording) and robust background process lifecycle management.
What it would actually take: A native macOS app (Swift/AppKit or Swift with SwiftUI) using NSWorkspace APIs and CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo (or Accessibility APIs) to poll active frontmost windows while respecting battery life and Sandboxing constraints. The main challenge is handling macOS permission grants reliably across OS updates and persisting local time series data efficiently with SQLite.
