Partial A macOS UI shell is vibe-codeable, but a working remote-desktop client needs low-level screen capture, input injection, and secure relay networking that vibe coding alone won't reliably produce.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a Swift/AppKit app using ScreenCaptureKit for capture, hardware video encoding (VideoToolbox), CGEvent-based input injection, and a secure transport with NAT traversal through relay servers. The hard parts are low-latency streaming, macOS permissions and entitlements, and security, which call for systems engineers with remote-desktop experience.
