Could you build this?

Partial A floating macOS menu or desktop drop target can be drafted quickly, but seamless system-level file handling, Touch ID LocalAuthentication, and drag-and-drop integration require native Swift expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires native Swift/AppKit development using NSPanel with desktop floating levels, NSPasteboard drag-and-drop item providers, and LocalAuthentication for biometric locking. Handling edge cases in drag operations directly into external browsers and sandboxed apps requires nuanced macOS system knowledge.
