Partial The Swift apps and cursor control are vibe-codeable, but turning watch IMU data into reliable cursor motion and detecting finger-to-thumb taps needs sensor-fusion and signal-processing skill. Low-latency Bluetooth relay between the watch and the Mac adds further difficulty.
What it would actually take: The stack is watchOS and macOS Swift apps, with CoreMotion for wrist motion and a local Bluetooth or relay path to the Mac using CGEvent for cursor movement. The hard parts are drift-free orientation estimation, gesture classification with low false positives, and latency tuning. That requires embedded or sensor-processing expertise and real-device testing across wrist movements.
