Partial The native macOS library UI and shortcut management are buildable with Swift. Making Wine prefix setup and per-game launch settings work reliably requires deep, Wine-specific and macOS-specific knowledge.
What it would actually take: The app would be a native Swift/AppKit or SwiftUI library that manages Wine prefixes, reads Steam libraries, and wraps launch configurations. The hard part is the Wine and Game Porting Toolkit knowledge needed to set up prefixes and dependencies correctly, plus per-app compatibility data and macOS code signing and notarization.
