Could you build this?
Partial The tabs, split panes, saved hosts, and UI are vibe-codeable, but a high-quality terminal emulator (VT parsing, rendering, SSH protocol handling) is a hard piece that vibe coding alone may not produce reliably.
What it would actually take: The usual route is to build on an existing terminal engine (such as SwiftTerm or libssh2) with a native macOS Swift/AppKit UI, then add SSH session management and sz/rz file transfer. The hard parts are correct terminal emulation and secure credential handling, which call for systems programming experience with macOS and SSH.
