Partial The macOS shell and UI are easy to vibe-code, but coordinating system-wide text injection, local Apple Silicon Whisper/MLX speech-to-text inference, and custom voice-style prompt adaptation requires specialized native macOS plumbing.
What it would actually take: A native Swift/macOS application integrating local ML inference (e.g., Whisper via Apple Silicon Neural Engine / CoreML / MLX) alongside system accessibility APIs (AXUIElement) for universal text replacement. The core difficulty is achieving seamless, low-latency hotkey recording and reliable background injection across arbitrary third-party macOS applications.
