Partial The native menu bar app, drag-and-drop UI, and before/after playback are vibe-codeable in Swift. Running NVIDIA's speech enhancement model locally on Apple Silicon requires model conversion and optimization that go beyond vibe coding.
What it would actually take: The hard part is converting the RE-USE model to Core ML or MLX and optimizing it for Apple Silicon while keeping quality and latency acceptable. That requires ML engineering experience with audio models, plus DSP knowledge for resampling and chunked processing.
