Could you build this?

Partial The notch UI and chat wrapper are buildable, but a native macOS app that drives 20 different coding agents over the Agent Client Protocol needs solid native Swift/AppKit work and per-agent integration maintenance.

What it would actually take: The build is a Swift/SwiftUI and AppKit app that positions a window over the MacBook notch, handles hover and global hotkeys, and spawns or connects to CLI agents through ACP or their native interfaces. The hard parts are reliable notch window behavior across macOS versions and displays, stable process and stream handling for many agents, and keeping each integration current as vendors change their CLIs and auth flows. Experience with macOS app development and code-signing and distribution is needed.
