Could you build this?
Partial The UI, charts, speed test, and alerts are vibe-codeable. However, accurately attributing data usage per Wi-Fi network, hotspot, and wired connection requires platform-specific native system APIs and background monitoring that AI-generated code alone won't reliably handle.
What it would actually take: Build native apps for each platform, such as a Windows service using ETW or WinDivert, macOS Network Extension or NetworkStatistics, and Android NetworkStatsManager, to attribute bytes per interface and SSID. The frontend charting and storage layer (for example SQLite with time-bucketed aggregation) and the speed test can be standard. The hard part is reliable low-overhead system-level traffic accounting, which requires OS-level systems expertise and testing across OS versions and permissions.
