Partial The strip-based layout, shortcuts, and settings UI are buildable in Swift with AI help, but reliably moving and sizing other apps' windows through macOS Accessibility APIs is finicky and needs real platform knowledge.
What it would actually take: The stack is Swift with AppKit, a global hotkey listener, and the Accessibility (AX) API to move and resize third-party windows, plus a sensible animation layer. The hard parts are AX quirks across apps, edge cases with full-screen and multi-monitor setups, and macOS permission and notarization flows. Solving those takes macOS window-management experience and extensive testing across apps.
