Could you build this?
Partial The native Mac UI and PDF operations (convert, OCR, redact, sign, organise) are well-supported by Apple frameworks like PDFKit and Vision, so a solo builder can vibe-code most of it. The tax package and bank-statement money analysis need multi-bank parsing and tax-categorisation accuracy that vibe coding alone won't reliably deliver.
What it would actually take: Build a SwiftUI/AppKit app on PDFKit for document handling, Vision for OCR, and PDFKit annotations for redaction and signing, with local storage (SQLite/SwiftData). Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework can handle summarisation and extraction without uploads. The hard parts are robust parsing of bank statement PDFs across many banks and formats, and tax categorisation that is correct enough to trust, which calls for test corpora of real statements and someone with tax-domain knowledge to validate outputs.
