Could you build this?
Partial The UI and file scanning are vibe-codeable, but reading Apple's undocumented database formats and decrypting encrypted iPhone backups requires reverse-engineering expertise that AI coding alone won't reliably provide.
What it would actually take: The app would need parsers for Time Machine snapshots, the iOS backup manifest and encrypted backup format, and app-specific stores such as NoteStore.sqlite and Contacts databases. Decrypting backups needs knowledge of the iTunes backup key-bag scheme. Keeping parsers working across iOS and macOS versions requires ongoing reverse engineering and testing against many devices.
