Partial The menu bar UI and settings are codeable, but switching monitor inputs without DDC/CI relies on OS-level or device-specific control paths that require native platform work and per-device protocol knowledge.
What it would actually take: A real version needs native macOS (Swift/AppKit) and Windows (C#/Win32) apps that talk to the OS and to monitor-specific control channels. Input switching without DDC/CI usually means reverse-engineering vendor protocols or network interfaces for each model, which is brittle. Building it requires native desktop developers and hardware testing across many monitors.
