Could you build this?
Partial The dual-pane UI and basic file operations are vibe-codeable, but a native macOS app with SFTP/SMB, archive handling, and sync needs substantial low-level and protocol work.
What it would actually take: A real version would be a native Swift/AppKit app with a file-system abstraction layer, SSH/SFTP and SMB client libraries, and a transfer queue with resume and error handling. The hard parts are reliable network protocol implementation, correct file-sync semantics, and macOS-specific polish such as permissions and sandboxing. This requires an experienced macOS and systems developer.
