Could you build this?
Partial Building a menu bar app is simple, but hooking into macOS private window management APIs to detect, track, and draw overlays over virtual Spaces and Mission Control is notoriously difficult and brittle.
What it would actually take: The app must be written in Swift/Objective-C using macOS accessibility APIs and undocumented SkyLight/CoreGraphics private APIs (such as CGSGetWorkspace, CGSSetWorkspaceWindowLevel) to hook into Mission Control and window spaces. These private APIs lack documentation, frequently change between macOS releases, and require advanced macOS systems development expertise to ensure stability across reboots and multi-monitor setups.
