Partial The notch UI, media controls, calendar, and clipboard features are vibe-codeable as a native Swift app. AirPods battery readings and notch-area rendering depend on private or undocumented macOS APIs, which need deep platform expertise.
What it would actually take: The app is a native macOS Swift/SwiftUI app that draws a window in the notch area and integrates with MediaRemote, EventKit, and AirDrop. The hard parts are reading AirPods battery and status through private Bluetooth/system APIs that change across macOS versions, and keeping the notch overlay correct across display configurations. Those need macOS internals experience and ongoing maintenance.
