Partial The UI and file transfer are buildable, but switching monitor inputs depends on DDC/CI behavior that varies by monitor and OS. Reliable cross-platform, no-network transfer also needs low-level OS integration.
What it would actually take: Build native components per OS: DDC/CI calls for input switching on Windows, macOS, and Linux, plus a local transport for files and clipboard. The hard parts are the per-monitor DDC/CI quirks and the cross-OS transport without network setup, which may need USB or peer discovery. This needs a systems engineer comfortable with OS display APIs, hardware testing across many monitors, and platform-specific packaging.
