Could you build this?
Partial Remote screen capture, keyboard/mouse emulation, and low-latency video streaming across platforms require native macOS APIs and networking protocols rather than typical web vibe coding.
What it would actually take: The macOS host daemon requires Swift/Objective-C using ScreenCaptureKit and Quartz Event Services with accessibility permissions. Video frames must be encoded via WebRTC or raw H.264/WebSockets, with custom peer-to-peer/Tailscale connection negotiation and corresponding mobile client viewers. Requires systems programming and low-latency video streaming expertise.
