Could you build this?
Partial The dual-pane UI is vibe-codeable, but a reliable native Mac file manager needs robust file-operation semantics, a real undo system, and cloud-provider sync integrations. Those edge cases are hard to get right without deep macOS systems experience.
What it would actually take: Build a native macOS app in Swift/AppKit, using FileManager and FSEvents for file operations and a journaled operation log to support undo. Cloud sources need the Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, and iCloud APIs with OAuth and sync-conflict handling. The hard parts are data-safe copy/move semantics, interrupted-operation recovery, and polish, which requires an experienced macOS developer and extensive testing.
