Description
Ever come back to your Mac and forget what you were doing? Cuewake lets you leave yourself a quick note, checklist, link or file right where you're working: an app, a webpage, a Finder folder or a project. When you come back, a little ghost peeks out of the notch to remind you. Set reminders in plain words like "tomorrow at 9". Works fully offline. No account, no subscription, no AI.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI note layer is manageable, but reliable deep OS context detection (inspecting active apps, browser URLs, Finder directories) requires specialized macOS Accessibility and AppKit APIs.
What it would actually take: The app must be written natively in Swift/Objective-C utilizing the macOS Accessibility API (AXUIElement) and AppleScript/JXA bridges to inspect window states, current URLs across various browsers, and Finder paths. Overlaying custom notch graphics requires delicate WindowServer/AppKit window management, handling macOS permissions, and managing sandboxing restrictions.
