Partial The VM manager UI, shared folders, and Ubuntu setup scripts are vibe-codeable on top of Apple's Virtualization framework, but reliable Windows 11 ARM and macOS guests need low-level virtualization, device driver, and boot work that vibe coding alone won't produce.
What it would actually take: Build a Swift/SwiftUI app over Apple's Virtualization.framework (or a fork of an existing open-source VM manager such as UTM), with virtio devices for disk, network, display, and shared folders. The hard parts are the Windows ARM boot path (drivers, UEFI, guest tools for display and input), macOS restore images and their licensing constraints, and graphics acceleration. This requires systems and virtualization engineering experience and substantial testing across hardware.
