Partial The app shell and window tracking are doable, but accurately classifying screen content (porn, feeds, shopping, news) on-device without screenshots needs a trained classifier that vibe coding can't produce on its own.
What it would actually take: Use macOS Accessibility and window-metadata APIs to detect the active app and window, then run a small on-device classifier, likely a fine-tuned vision or text model, in Core ML. The hard part is building a labeled, diverse training dataset and tuning it for low false positives without storing screenshots. Expertise needed: ML engineering for on-device models and data curation.
