Partial The menu bar app and sleep-prevention logic are buildable, but fan control and heat monitoring on Apple Silicon need low-level, undocumented hardware access that's easy to break.
What it would actually take: Sleep prevention can use the standard power-management APIs and pmset, and the UI is a normal Swift menu bar app. Fan control and thermal reads require SMC or IOKit access that varies across Mac models and OS versions and needs signing and privilege handling. That calls for macOS systems engineering experience and per-model testing.
