Partial The app's UI and basic capture are buildable, but a Mac-native app with reliable scrolling-page capture, OCR retyping, and automatic sensitive-data redaction needs native macOS engineering and tuned detection.
What it would actually take: Build a native Swift/AppKit app using ScreenCaptureKit for capture and Apple's Vision framework for OCR, text recognition, and translation hooks. Scrolling full-page capture needs stitching logic, and automatic hiding of emails, card numbers, and API keys needs well-tested pattern and ML detection. The hardest parts are robust scroll stitching across apps and low false-negative redaction, which need macOS platform expertise and QA.
