Could you build this?

Partial The settings UI and skins are standard, but a real product needs native macOS audio processing and system-level detection of microphone activation, plus browser media control. Those depend on low-level Core Audio and OS APIs that vibe coding handles poorly without expertise.

What it would actually take: This would be a Swift app using Core Audio taps or an audio-processing pipeline for bass EQ without a driver, plus detection of active microphone and dictation state. Browser control likely requires an extension or AppleScript-style automation for Chrome and Safari. The hard parts are low-latency DSP and macOS permission and API changes across versions, so macOS audio experience is needed.
