Partial A basic screen capture tool is vibe-codeable, but a full-featured native macOS screen recorder and video editor requires complex AVFoundation pipeline orchestration and low-level video rendering.
What it would actually take: Building a performant native macOS editor requires Swift and ScreenCaptureKit for high frame-rate, low-latency capture with system audio loopback. The editor component demands custom Metal or AVFoundation composition pipelines (AVMutableComposition, AVVideoComposition) to handle multi-track non-linear editing, timeline scrubbing, hardware-accelerated exports, and seamless frame manipulation without UI lag.
