Partial The Mac screen recording, cursor logging, and on-device transcription are buildable, but the auto-zoom on clicked UI elements and the beat-synced cutting need accessibility-level UI element tracking and a real media-processing pipeline that vibe coding alone won't reliably produce.
What it would actually take: Build a native Swift app on ScreenCaptureKit and AVFoundation, with Accessibility APIs to find the UI element under each click and Apple's Speech framework or a local Whisper model for captions. The hard parts are reliable element-aware zoom keyframing and dead-air detection, plus audio beat detection for syncing cuts, which need media engineering experience and extensive testing across apps.
