Could you build this?
Partial The UI and basic wrappers can be prototyped easily, but native macOS on-device optimization with CoreML/Metal, audio DSP silence trimming, and multi-model pipeline execution (Whisper, voice cloning, speaker diarization) require non-trivial native systems programming.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires Swift/SwiftUI integrated with CoreML and Metal Performance Shaders for low-latency inference on Apple Silicon. The backend stack integrates quantized Whisper models for transcription, PyAnnote for diarization, and on-device TTS/voice-cloning models, alongside AVFoundation for audio signal processing (silence thresholding, waveform rendering) and FCPXML timeline generation. Deep native macOS systems and audio engineering skills are needed to prevent memory pressure crashes.
