Partial The menu bar speed display and UI are easy to vibe-code, but per-app data accounting on macOS needs low-level network statistics APIs that are poorly documented. That part requires specialized macOS systems knowledge.
What it would actually take: A real version would read per-process network byte counts from macOS, either by parsing nettop or using private NetworkStatistics framework calls, then aggregate them into per-app totals and detect metered hotspot networks. The hard part is doing this accurately and efficiently without root or kernel extensions. Expertise in macOS networking internals and Swift/AppKit is needed.
