Could you build this?

Partial A native launcher UI, a phone remote via a local web server and QR code, and controller support are all buildable, but DRM-protected streaming and automating third-party apps like skip intro are fragile and platform-specific.

What it would actually take: Build a native macOS app (Swift/SwiftUI or AppKit) that launches streaming apps or websites, runs a local HTTP/WebSocket server for the phone remote, and manages power and display state. The fragile parts are controlling third-party players (skip intro, next episode) without official APIs and keeping pace with app updates. Doing it well takes Apple platform expertise and ongoing maintenance.
