Could you build this?
Partial While the Swift UI menu-bar wrapper is easily vibe-coded, reliably mounting ext4 and NTFS read/write on modern macOS without kernel extensions relies on complex FUSE implementations or user-space file system drivers.
What it would actually take: Uses Swift/SwiftUI for the menu bar and CLI, orchestrating userspace file systems via MacFUSE or custom macFUSE-free FSFuse/UserFS implementations wrapping libext2fs and NTFS-3G. The difficult parts are safe error-handling for disk mounting, handling macOS System Integrity Protection (SIP) constraints, and ensuring zero filesystem corruption during unclean unmounts. Requires low-level POSIX and filesystem driver debugging experience.
