Partial The UI and settings are easy to vibe-code, but gaze-based focus switching needs reliable webcam eye/head tracking and deep OS accessibility hooks on both Mac and Windows, which is platform-specific native work.
What it would actually take: Build a native desktop app (Swift/AppKit with Accessibility APIs on macOS, and UI Automation on Windows) that runs a gaze estimator, such as MediaPipe or a similar open model, on the webcam feed. It maps the gaze point to window and pane bounds and moves focus through the accessibility layer. The hard parts are calibration accuracy, latency, and robust focus control across apps, which call for someone experienced in computer vision and OS-level input systems.
