Could you build this?
Partial The UI and search workflow are vibe-codeable, but a fast semantic search across documents, scans, photos, audio, and video needs OCR, transcription, embedding pipelines, and a native macOS indexing layer that is hard to get right.
What it would actually take: A real version would be a native macOS app (Swift) that runs background indexers: OCR for scanned pages, Whisper-style transcription for audio and video, and vision/text embedding models stored in a local vector index. Matching Spotlight-level speed and reliability while keeping data on-device requires systems and ML engineering, not just app code.
