Partial A native macOS dock replacement with widgets is buildable in Swift, but replacing the Dock and reading Claude Code, Codex, and Copilot session limits are both hard and fragile.
What it would actually take: The core needs a native Swift/AppKit app with window and dock-level overlays, which often means working around private macOS APIs and accessibility permissions. Live usage data for Claude Code, Codex, and Copilot may have no public API, so it may require reading local session files or reverse-engineering provider endpoints. Shipping it also means code signing, notarization, and keeping up with macOS releases.
