Could you build this?
No This requires deep native macOS system programming (Swift/Objective-C) using private and accessibility APIs to intercept global keybindings, manage system windows, and hook into Finder and CoreAudio.
What it would actually take: Developing this requires deep knowledge of macOS system APIs, specifically the Accessibility API (AXUIElement), Core Graphics Event Taps (CGEventTap), and CoreAudio HAL for per-app audio routing. The developer must write low-level Swift or Objective-C code to manipulate window hierarchies, hook keyboard input globally without lagging the system, and implement custom virtual audio drivers or tap into audio session daemons. It also necessitates navigating Apple's strict sandbox exceptions, notarization processes, and system permission management.
