Could you build this?

Partial The SwiftUI front end is straightforward, but the custom MTP engine implements the Android device-transfer protocol over USB from scratch, which is low-level and hard to get right.

What it would actually take: The app needs a USB device layer on macOS, a working implementation of the MTP protocol (sessions, object enumeration, chunked transfers, and device quirks across Android vendors), and a SwiftUI shell. Getting reliable transfers across many devices requires systems-level debugging and protocol expertise, which vibe coding can only partly supply.
