Could you build this?
Yes A native Mac app that uses Apple's Vision person segmentation and AVFoundation for background removal, with an always-on-top floating panel, is achievable with AI-assisted Swift development. The main hurdles are macOS permissions and signing, which are tedious but not expert-only.
