Could you build this?
Partial Creating a native macOS utility that controls cursors, renders transparent overlays across spaces, and interfaces with lower-level OS APIs requires native Swift/Objective-C and macOS permission management.
What it would actually take: Built using native Swift/AppKit, leveraging macOS Accessibility APIs (AXIsProcessTrusted), CoreGraphics event taps (CGEventTap), and IOKit/IOPMAssertion to prevent sleep. The core difficulty is handling cross-display transparent overlay drawing, system pointer hooks, and surviving macOS sandboxing and security permissions across OS updates. Requires solid native macOS desktop development expertise.
