Could you build this?

Partial The UI and most scan modules are vibe-codeable in SwiftUI. Reliable macOS system cleanup, safe deletion, and iCloud and app-trace removal need deep platform knowledge and careful permission handling.

What it would actually take: Write a native Swift/SwiftUI app using FileManager, Spotlight/metadata queries, and CloudKit or iCloud file APIs, with a privileged helper for system paths. Hard parts are safe duplicate detection, avoiding data loss, handling TCC permissions, and notarization. That needs macOS systems engineering and extensive testing.
