Could you build this?
Partial A menu bar app is codeable, but routing Mac system audio to multiple AirPods with per-device volume and sync requires low-level macOS audio work that vibe coding handles poorly.
What it would actually take: A working version would use macOS Core Audio process taps or aggregate devices, plus a Swift menu bar UI. The difficult parts are capturing system audio without a virtual driver, keeping multiple Bluetooth AirPods in sync, and handling latency and macOS permission changes. This requires solid macOS audio systems knowledge and extensive device testing.
