Could you build this?
Partial The fuzzy, typo-tolerant search and the file/app index are buildable with vibe coding. A real macOS launcher also needs native Swift work for global hotkeys, system indexing, and window handling, plus on-device usage learning that vibe coding alone won't produce.
What it would actually take: Build a native macOS app in Swift/AppKit with a global hotkey, Spotlight or FSEvents-based indexing, and a local SQLite store. Add a fuzzy matcher (e.g., phonetic or edit-distance ranking) and a local ranking model trained on launch history. The hard parts are reliable macOS system integration and tuning the on-device ranking so suggestions feel predictive rather than random.
