Partial The switcher UI and themes are vibe-codeable in Rust or Swift, but listing minimized windows per Space and raising windows reliably depends on undocumented macOS APIs and Accessibility quirks that the AI cannot reliably produce.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a native macOS app in Rust (via objc2 or similar bindings) or Swift, with AppKit and SwiftUI for the overlays and the Accessibility API for window enumeration and focus. Space-aware listing usually needs private CoreGraphics or SkyLight calls, which must be tested across macOS versions. Expertise needed is macOS internals and window-server behavior, plus notarization and distribution.
