Could you build this?
Partial While a menu bar UI is simple, intercepting keystrokes and reading UI accessibility state across closed third-party apps like WhatsApp and Slack on macOS requires deep OS accessibility and security entitlements.
What it would actually take: The app needs to run natively on macOS (Swift/Objective-C) using the macOS Accessibility API (AXUIElement) and event taps (CGEventTap) to detect active chat windows, inspect target chat labels, and intercept the 'Enter' key event. The hard part is managing fragile accessibility tree traversals across electron-based and native apps that frequently change internal hierarchies, along with handling strict macOS permissions and sandbox restrictions. It requires experienced macOS desktop systems engineers.
