Partial The app is a small utility, but it needs native macOS Swift/AppKit work, global hotkeys, and Accessibility permissions, and it must be signed and notarized. These are doable but require platform-specific expertise.
What it would actually take: Write a native Swift/AppKit menu-bar app that reads Dock contents and registers global keyboard shortcuts. Window focus and switching depend on the Accessibility API, which is fragile across macOS versions. Distribution needs an Apple Developer account, code signing, and notarization.
