Partial The menu bar app, HUD, and settings UI are vibe-codeable in Swift, but reading raw trackpad touch positions and setting system volume and brightness typically relies on private macOS frameworks that need deeper platform knowledge.
What it would actually take: The UI is a standard AppKit or SwiftUI menu bar app. The hard parts are capturing multitouch coordinates (usually via the private MultitouchSupport framework) and controlling system volume and brightness reliably across macOS versions, which takes macOS internals experience and ongoing maintenance.
