Could you build this?
Partial The UI and LLM summarization pipeline are straightforward, but capturing low-latency system-wide macOS audio across arbitrary apps without joining calls or installing virtual audio cables requires native CoreAudio/ScreenCaptureKit driver engineering.
What it would actually take: The app needs a native macOS wrapper using Swift and Apple's ScreenCaptureKit or custom CoreAudio HAL drivers to tap multi-channel desktop and microphone streams simultaneously. The captured PCM audio must be processed locally through an embedded ASR model (like Whisper via CoreML) before feeding transcript streams into an LLM context engine with an encrypted local SQLite/vector database.
