Could you build this?
Partial The search UI and indexing workflow are buildable with vibe coding, but reliable full-content search across PDFs, images and video clips needs OCR and on-device ML pipelines that are hard to get right.
What it would actually take: A real version would be a native Swift/SwiftUI macOS app that uses Spotlight/Core Spotlight metadata, the Vision framework for OCR, and a local embedding or vector index for visual and semantic matching. The hard parts are fast incremental indexing of large libraries, video frame extraction for clip search, and tuning search quality on Apple Silicon. That takes a developer comfortable with macOS internals and ML inference, not just prompting.
